When you're burgling, awareness is best; When he saw her, he thought 'twas in jest. Forgetting the shih tzu, Or Granny's jujitsu, Both his shirt and some charges were pressed. Theft and laundering just do not pay, Not when Granny is holding the spray. Got starched for his error, He stiffened in terror; Slapped with irons, they took him away. ---------- for the Limerick Poetry Contest sponsored by Lisa YY written on 07/15/2022

Great fun, Jeff. Yikes! I was wondering why so many entries were about surfing and ironing boards AND using the same picture. So I re-read the rules… OOPS!! Quickly withdrew my entry.

Guilty as charged. Managed to figure another. You’ll never guess… it includes a surfing granny… sort of.
