Ineffective Choice

Careful Ling Phong Dam from old Siam
Used the latest latex diaphragm
It was ineffective,
Most likely defective
For the son of Ling Phong Dam, I am.

Well, it is funny and a great, well-written Limerick. Bill

Thank you, Bill. Occasionally, I write one that makes sense and is funny. I find limericks difficult, because I can never get the rhythm right, even if I have the requisite number of syllables in the lines. This one really worked well.

Well thought and done, but made me wonder what spirit would choose to be born in a defective body? Aloha!

Hmmmm...I think it was the diaphragm that was defective, Rico. It certainly wasn't effective.

So it appears the dam thing broke? // to pay all that money, this must be a joke! // one-nighter desired // instead, seems I sired // the diaphragm and the gal both got poked!

Ah, Jeff. That's marvelous. Maybe we should add it underneath mine. But, then we'd have to mark it BAWDY!

Thanks, Eve. Yep, even if I say so myself. I had a good laugh writing it, and I'm very pleased to see everyone enjoying it. Maybe it should be P.O.T.D., eh?
