There was a new eunuch, joined the harem The ladies adored, his warm curdled cream The sultan grew suspicious His wives said it’s delicious Comes beautiful with, camel hump Supreme A funny Limerick - Any Theme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Tania Kitchin How many syllables 10/10/7/7/10 02/06/22

Crikey, David, I hope the Sultan doesn’t suss him out. Mind you, Transgender is all the rage nowadays. Congrats on your placement with a fun write. Terry

You’ve said it Terry, Anything goes these days, the Sultan's probably getting a bit on his cornflakes too, cheers David

Good that he was a great cook to keep the harem healthy. Being a Eunuch doesn't take away all masculinity, so I believe. I enjoyed reading this contest entry. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Thank you Sara for stopping by, I’m reckoning this eunuch guy perhaps cheated his way past the (screening process) don’t ask me how lol, but he certainly raised morale in the harem, cheers David

Lol, I always thought the ladies were in safe hands with a eunuch, obviously not. Good luck David, enjoy your weekend. Tom

Heya Tom, Oh this guy was just a great cook, but perhaps you see a bit of a crook, lol, I’ll let the reader decide his fate, have a good one, cheers David
