For L Milton Hankins Eyes Only: Oh Go On Then

Dear Milt,

I said I would...

                         *

The eager young man was a loner
Too timid to ask out Ramona 
That outrageous flirt
Hitched up her short skirt 
He’s now got an enormous, er, um... AHA!.. Desire to phone her???

                         *

What do you reckon? Poet Laureate? Knighthood? Fame? Fortune?
Hmmm... who organises those stars in the sidewalk?

Terry

Jan Allison Date: 6/17/2021 3:15:00 PM ha ha ha excellent ink Terry I have written limericks changing a rhyming word too - fab limerick and keep the humour flowing:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 6/17/2021 6:40:00 PM So......I take full credit for "the word" he didn't use! Or, did he just blame me for it???? No, it was entirely my doing! Terry Flood Date: 6/17/2021 3:57:00 PM Hi Jan, I started a fake limerick in a comment to Milt and then thought, ‘Why not write it’. Making it for Milt’s eyes only was a deliberate hook. Thanks for stopping by. Terry

Tom Cunningham Date: 6/17/2021 12:46:00 PM Lol, you'll have the soup police knocking your door. I'll phone Liz, Sir Terence Flood sounds good. Tom Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/17/2021 3:14:00 PM That would make a change from them PC Brigade castigating my work Tom lol:-) Terry Flood Date: 6/17/2021 12:58:00 PM My parents saw fit to christen me plain ‘Terry’ so that Liz will get a flea in her ear if she gets it wrong. Just who does she think she is? ;-) Terrence... I mean... Terry

L Milton Hankins Date: 6/17/2021 12:12:00 PM I'll call them and make an appointment for your handprints right away! What's wrong with "boner?" Would it have been censured? It's a perfectly good word used every day by fourteen-year-olds! Now that you've said it's for my eyes only, every PSer will read it. LOL Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 8/26/2021 7:47:00 PM I'll bet you did, Gary, and you're just not telling us! Gary Radice Date: 6/18/2021 2:01:00 AM No..not me..I am not going to read it at all.. :) Terry Flood Date: 6/17/2021 12:53:00 PM I just felt it was more amusing to guide the reader to think ‘boner’ for themselves. Maybe it’s just my sense of humour. A while back soup was telling me my poem was posted but it wasn’t appearing. So I experimented with a note titled ‘Do Not Read’. It was read by about 40 people in five minutes. Humans huh?
