Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Chin-Up

There once was a nanny,* lived in New Guinea
She's spot her billy, O would she whinny
   She'd kick up her feet
   And then she would bleat
She'd curl the hair on his chin-chin-chinny


*A nanny is a female goat

She broke her chain to go to Billy, and do you think Billy was happy when I tried to retrieve her - thank you Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf August 14, 2019 at 12:44 PM Thanks for the funny goat anecdote, Linsay! :) gw

Line Gauthier August 11, 2019 at 8:05 PM Goats deserve love too! Thanks for that well penned reminder, Gershon. Gershon Wolf August 11, 2019 at 9:43 PM Absolutely… I have to remind some younger adults these days that goat = more than 'Greatest of All Time.' LOL. :) gw
