L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Flirting With Disaster

Some pretty girls think it’s incredibly funny 
When older gentlemen wink and call them “Honey”
Never do they turn back, 
Morals they surely lack 
When they take these "dirty, old men" for their money.

Rico Leffanta May 16, 2021 at 11:50 AM Reminds me of a famous artist I once knew whose recreation was to go to the park every morning so the au pairs (preferably Swedish) could earn a few francs manhandling him....... Rico Leffanta May 17, 2021 at 11:34 AM You were probably looking at the girls rather than at the girls sitting on a park bench with an old man .... L Milton Hankins May 16, 2021 at 12:36 PM Hmmm...I don't recall that one. Interesting.

Andrea Dietrich May 16, 2021 at 10:32 AM The gold diggers! Lots of those shady ladies out there! And actually vice versa as well!! L Milton Hankins May 16, 2021 at 12:36 PM I suspect you're right, Andrea. I guess I never showed enough "flash" to attract them, but, I have called a few young lady's "honey."

Kenneth Cheney May 16, 2021 at 7:24 AM Ah, for the "Love" of money. L Milton Hankins May 16, 2021 at 8:43 AM Ah, yes. Thanks for your read, Kenneth. It means a lot to me.

Unseeking Seeker May 15, 2021 at 7:44 PM Great one! ;) L Milton Hankins May 15, 2021 at 8:47 PM Thank you, Unseeking Seeker. I suspect the theme of this limerick is often the truth!
