Great Balls of Fire

Sir Henry was smoking cheroot
Stark naked in his birthday suit
But he did something rash
When he's flicking his ash
His pubes are no longer hirsute!

A clever witty limerick that presents itself with a more than suitable title! Sir Henry and Jude both have something in common...birthday suits! Hugs // paul

G'day Jan... that'll teach Sir Henry for smoking. He's probably upset because he had to out the fire with his whisky - Catch you soon Jan - Lindsay

Every time I open these, I think you cannot top the last, but these are so darn funny. You have definitely found a niche, and they make me smile too. ~Janet

oh Jan, this is good stuff. I had to look up hirsute. I had not seen that word before. What would make this one even funnier is if you change Sir Henry to a woman's name, something like Queen "you know who" smoked her cheroot..... then when you get to the last line, hirsute has a double meaning!!!! HER SUIT and it also means she used to be hairy. hahahahaha
