Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Heard a Who, Smelled a Who, Burned What

Horton smelled a Who, what about Hortense
  Did she have that special female 'sixth sense'
     It seems she was lacking
     But not 'cos of hacking
  'Hortense! Stop burning that freaking incense!'

Kim Rodrigues September 9, 2023 at 5:58 PM You’re a laugh a minute! Love that final exclamation' Gershon Wolf September 9, 2023 at 7:54 PM Thanks, Kim... although with my advancing dementia, I ain't what I used to be, i.e., a laugh a second. ~ Groan

Jennifer Proxenos September 9, 2023 at 3:46 AM May I in this instance agree with Michelle. My addition, maybe you would like to share? hugs and blessings Jennifer. Gershon Wolf September 9, 2023 at 7:51 PM Gee, thanks for agreeing with Michelle, Jennifer. Appreciated, gw

Jerry Brotherton September 8, 2023 at 5:55 PM Fully enjoyed your limerick, my friend. Better watch out, too much incense can cause hallucinations. Gershon Wolf September 9, 2023 at 7:41 PM Gosh, I'll be very careful. Don't want to get incensed! Smiles, Gershon

Michelle Faulkner September 8, 2023 at 12:14 PM You have a hidden gift for the witty limerick, gw, rhyming hortense with incense, makes me wonder what you are smokin? Gershon Wolf September 9, 2023 at 7:39 PM Hmm. Good question. What AM I smoking? ~ I think my last cigarette was a candy cigarette before they stopped making them. Good thing I wasn't addicted! Thanks, Michelle

Terry Flood September 6, 2023 at 3:12 PM Any reference to one of my favourite movies is okay by me, GW. Strangely, I only mentioned ‘Horton hears a who’ to Ilene in the last day or so. Enjoyed.
