Judy Ball Poet Limerick

Gold Digger

A wealthy old man in his fifties,
Loved a young girl he thought was just nifty.
His friends didn't like her.
They called her a piker.
But the old man said she was just spiffy.

He wished to marry the fraulein.
Asked his friends, "Do you think she'll be mine?"
I have plenty of money,
And she's such a honey.
Oh sure! Tell her you're 99.

Sara Kendrick November 23, 2021 at 6:51 AM Well, I have seen it work out but everyone knows except the husband what is going on. As long as he doesn't let himself know the truth it can work out just fine. I did get a chuckle. Thanks for your visit. I am glad that I chose this one to read today. Sara

Sotto Poet June 4, 2021 at 3:22 PM I found this wonderful Limerick to be well-written. However, I was perplexed as to why he tells the guy to inform her that he is 99):) Heh. Heh. Excellent and well-constructed humor. You put a grin on my face, and that makes everything worth it. Judy. Blessings James Peranteau June 5, 2021 at 5:31 AM unbelievably the day uv the wedding, whilst driving to honeymoon in top less jeep, he smashes into a guardrail, and she pops out landing in a neighborhood pool unscathed...he dies instantly...*smiles Judy Ball June 4, 2021 at 5:49 PM Thanks so much Lasaad. So glad you liked it. The friends didn't like her because she was only dating him for his money. He was in hi fifties and she was a gold digger so to be sure she would marry him make her think he was ready to die. Thanks bunches. God Bless, JB
