Contemporary Prance - Bawdy Warning

My friends took me down to Broadway
To watch a newfangled ballet
T'was called the Buttcracker
And not the Nutcracker
The title was apt I can say

Some dancers were dressed in tutus
Bulges in their tights gave us clues
All the dancers were male
My friends face turned quite pale
Next time we should read the reviews!

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 2/12/2021 8:13:00 AM I gather this is fantasy tale, a man in a tutu is just naturally inviting comments. I would have also be embarrassed, but I am sure you all had a very jolly evening and lots of laughs. Awesome poem Jan. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Lindsay Laurie Date: 2/11/2021 4:34:00 PM G’day Jan … I dunno. Sometimes I think a male ballet dancer will bust through his tights. Another fine set of limericks Jan - Lindsay Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/12/2021 1:39:00 PM Thanks Lindsay:-) hugs Jan xx I always think of the bulge as something for the ballerina to stand on lol:-) xx

Terry Flood Date: 2/9/2021 3:46:00 AM I would have enjoyed your Limerick a lot more if I hadn’t been so worried... my wife promised me that my ‘Lemon Twirl’ video would never go public. Loved the lims (as opposed to the limbs) nonetheless. Terry Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/9/2021 7:56:00 AM ha ha ha Thanks Terry I owe your wife a drink lol:-) hugs jan xx

Beryl Edmonds Date: 2/8/2021 4:16:00 PM It must have come as quite a shock, To see male dancers wearing frocks. With their shapeless flat chests, A bulge at top of legs, Surely you'd have laughed your socks off...

Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/8/2021 1:36:00 PM I think it would be a fun show to see. I remember when we lived near San Francisco in the 80's and one time we went into the city to see men dressed like women singing and dancing . one sat on Joe's lap and sang to him. Hilarious.
