John Lawless Poet Limerick

Guinness Interruptus

Guinness Interruptus 

The sweet lass he was chasing was Finnish
but like Popeye he needed his spinach
to build up his strength
in longing and length
so he stopped for a flagon of Guinness

David Bose April 10, 2017 at 7:47 AM Funny, John, and true ... but that Guinness might harm his eyesight when it comes to Lasses. Nicely done, enjoyed it. Thanks, Dave

Andrea Dietrich April 7, 2017 at 8:08 PM Congrats here, John. when I was a kid, Popeye was my hero and my "crush" Can you imagine crushing on a cartoon character? Good grief.
