Buy Your Leaf

Olympic athletes performed nude
(Spectators back then cheered the lewd)
The judges (we're told)
Used layers of gold
To honour the most well-hung dude

A funny/cute write. Thanks for the laugh. I know there are nude bike races but have never seen them. Have a blessed day writing away.................

Nude bicycle races? Aren't public toilets dangerous enough for riders?

Passing the baton was, I hear, quite interesting. Fun limerick, Rico. Terry

Legend claims their greatest champ died because the gold suffocated his pores, but I doubt that as a living body constantly moves as it breathes, so how could the gold "set"?

Lol, I've heard about that, saves on washing their sweaty shorts. Tom

LOL. I don't know whether this is true or not, but it made one helluva fine limerick! I'm still giggling.
