Notes About The Poem
A tribute to Jan's sense of humor.

Jan's Bawdy Guard

There's a lady who's caused quite a kerfuff
Her lil "nawdy" rhymes made some blush and chuff
Might call the police! 
Will that bring them peace? 
They'll prolly just use her fur-lined handcuffs

New to Poetry Soup at the time. What's a bawdy Limerick? It's a legitimate poem category! 1845, Edward Lear published ‘The Book of Nonsense’ in which he featured 72 limericks. This is the first history of limericks. Jan's limericks are bawdy and nice! Glad this made POTD FJ! I Am Anaya

They are funny and bawdy...but nice, aren't they, FJ? Somehow, though, she does manage to slip them past the PS Morals Brigade. This one is funny, too.
