The "thong" really got me. It looks so uncomfortable. Adorable limerick, Jan.

Ha ha ... now this reminds me of my fictional aunt:) // My aunty Sabrina is gay//She keeps all her critics at bay//She's hard to convince//Her words does not mince//And frightens her suitors away. ~~ hugs // paul

Well done! Many cultures, including Hawaiian, consider people are no different than other mammals, i.e., each tries to make the best of their inheritance. Aloha! Rico n.b. Great Title!

Hahah, I love Billy Ray - everyone should feel free to be who they want to be. Thank goodness things have changed since the days of Quentin Crisp and Oscar Wilde. This delightful limerick put a smile on my face Jan, thanks. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Thanks Ann oh gosh yes Quentin Crisp I love Sting's song 'an Englishman in New York which was written about him. Hubby worked in the media so we have some wonderful gay friends:-) Live and let live I say:-) hugs Jan xx
