Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Bored In Manhattan Not For Contest

I was bored in Manhattan that day
So decided to pay for a lay
He was handsome and young
And was VERY well hung
I walked like John Wayne all of the day

Thanks to James Fraser's Bored In Manhattan poem for the inspiration!

Just make me laugh contest
