Notes About The Poem

Impure Thoughts

On her nightdress candlelight flickers
While underneath she wears blue knickers
Grandpa recalls Kentucky
The last time he got lucky
Grandma just rolls her eyes and snickers

This is really 'professionally bawdy,' Line. Classy, its chassy; very impressive. G.L. in Tania's contest! Warmest wishes, Gershon

LOVE IT! A FAV for me. My people are out of KY and the color of the University of Kentucky is bright blue. That grandma! Snow on her roof but fire in her furnace!
