L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Couldn'T Think of Gardenia

A sweet young lassie from Estonia
Was besought by a boy from Bologna
Taking her to a dance,
He wore his best pants
And gave her a corsage of begonia.

Shirley Hawkins September 1, 2021 at 7:34 PM I loved the title... and the limerick. L Milton Hankins September 1, 2021 at 9:18 PM Thanks, Shirley. I just wondered why his mother didn't tell him that a begonia was hardly the posie to give a girlfriend. Actually, they stink! Pretty flowers, but they do stink! Thanks for your read and your comment.
