Notes About The Poem

Joseph May's Palindrome Contest ~ March 10, 2026

Insatiable Naomi

"Naomi, sex at noon taxes," I moan
I pleaded for her to leave me alone
"Poor Dan is in a droop?"
She said to me, "Recoup!"
That woman makes my life a battle zone

Being male, I thought you’d take his side, but there are no sides to be taken in this one. The problem is theirs. I just loved writing a Limerick about their bedroom drama. lol. David, Thank you for making such supportive comments on my poetry.

Aye, twas that, and I didn't read the contest requirements until yesterday and still didn't get it right at first. Thanks a bunch, Tom. I'd written one using 2 other lines but then saw they'd been used by several others.
