Dorothy And The Tin Man

When Dorothy and Tin Man were dating She didn’t prepare for the mating Til’ she heard a bang And shouted out, “Dang, Something inside there’s inflating” Since Dorothy’s one chick he lusted Poor Tin said he was disgusted Coz there was no oil can Nearby them at hand To free up his zipper now rusted As Tin was kissing Dorothy’s lips He sadly knew he had to come to grips ‘Til she yelled, “My man I’ll open your can Coz in my purse I brought some tin snips!”

Thanks Beryl for your nice words, and nothing like a limerick contest to take a stab at.

Dearest David, congratulations on a very creative right. I am sorry I missed the exact day, but I don’t read POTD every day like I used to. Anyway, this is the best poems. I have read at potter soup in five years and us definitely deserves a FAV. Pangie xx

I only saw The Wizard of Oz on TV, so I had no idea it was x rated. Congrats on your win, David. I only hope Dotty didn’t slip with those snips. Terry

Many congrats on POTW, this is hilarious and gives a new perspective on the story - so glad the sanctimonious clap trap comment still there but another poets comments to it have now gone but that is par for the course I'm afraid , I am saddened someone would even write a comment like that, it would have been far better in a soup mail or not at all! :-) hugs jan xx

Pornographic humor, some evangelists would not approve some will. All pieces of children lit make inevitable targets, some will cringe some will laugh. Should we strive to leave some Americana intact and uncorrupted, anything goes I suppose. I believe in freedom of expression, it's whatever is in one's nature how they feel about it. Congratulations for being chosen for POTW, David Fisher!! :):)

David, Limericks are meant to be funny and bawdy, so despite any comment that finds fault with yours, it's a form you have written as it's meant to be read... humorously. Just because one person has such a negative opinion, the voices of others congratulate you. Comments are meant to give positive thoughts... ONLY, or none at all.

David Fisher
Date: 11/24/2024 11:15:00 AM

Thanks Lin for your kind words and opinions.

We’ve gotten a peak into the hidden life of Dorothy and the heartless man she was drawn to. Funny. This will surely make the sponsor laugh out loud!
