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.

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

Hello Judy … being 99 and being loaded with money is a wonder there’s not more gold diggers knocking the front door down. I hope he lives to 150 Judy - Lindsay

Good one Judy… The gold digger asked could they be wed - Immediately she said "Oh yes" - With pound signs in her head - Thinking he'd soon be dead - She wed and lived a life of regret… Belle

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

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
