Hurricane Hips

A substantial wahine named Beulah,
To please her husband was learning the hula,
But the wind she created
As her grass skirt gyrated
Devastated most of downtown Honolulu.

Maybe next time she'll just try surprising her hubby with a nice "lei"...

Hilda Greenhough Date: 9/12/2024 9:45:00 AM This is a very good limerick. It has a fantastic image of Beulah's destructive power. Login to Reply Jim Slaughter Date: 9/12/2024 10:10:00 AM I'll bet she won't be welcome back to Hawaii any time soon. Thanks, Hilda.
