Now you know why I am divorced (lol)

Me and my wife went to Harlem, New York We were stand-outs, and I looked like a dork An angry man with a knife Came up to me and my wife And he said... "do you know where to find me a fork" Sweating and shaking, I said, "I don't know... But if you want, I'll find one, let me go" He said. "okay, see you soon" I said, "I'll see you in June... Hold my wife, on my way...to Idaho" State Limerick Poetry Contest Sponsor Kevin Shaw 7--16-2019

Charlie, this one's a real humdinger... Should have smoked the guy out though by asking if he wanted a spoon too. LOL. G.L. in the contest! ~ gw

haha, this is so cute and clever. Idaho vs. Harlem. Hmmm, I live close to Idaho. Probably I'll stick with Idaho and its potatoes.
