Notes About The Poem




Brother Told Us

Brother told us sometimes that he peed
sitting down with a good book to read,
but with his ding-a-ling
he was having a fling
when we spied on him.  Good book indeed!


Written 5/20/14 for Roy Jerden's Bawdy, Bawdy, Bawdy, Miss Clawdy Limerick Contest

By the way, from comments I am getting, I need to let everyone know this is simply a fabrication. My brother told us nothing, and we never spied on him. And our small bathroom shared by ten people would not have suited this purpose! hahaha

At that age if he was in the bathroom for a long time he was definately reading a book. A couple of minutes several times a day would be ding a ling time. Congratulations Andrea.

Some secrets are not meant to be shared, and keyholes peeked through. Perhaps the book was his cover. I like this one Andrea.

no worry, Jack, my brother would be as likely to be found at this poetry site or ANY site as he would be likely to be found in our old bathroom back in Muscatine, Iowa. hahaha

Good Gawdy Miss Clawdy, now that is Bawdy. I once met a girl who gave it a whirl. She ended up with a conspicuous curl. Ref. to something. Have a nice day Andrea. :)

A peed poem, Oh don't I just love those. Nice bit of fun here, thanks for the grin. I've succumbed to your requests and posted a recent tweet. I'm still working on the bigger poem.
