Kumquat

Rush to my house I have kumquats, you said
They're ripe, moist and sweet, I'm right here in bed
An eager beaver, I raced
But my high hopes were misplaced
Your spouse was eating your kumquat instead

I Am Anaya September 7, 2023 at 12:50 PM Kumquats so delicious in salads and so many ways to prepare them. Congratulations on your win! Enjoyed this very much! Robert Gorelick September 19, 2023 at 7:46 PM I prepare my kumquats with great trepidation and amorous expectation. Thank you, Anaya, Robert

Linda Alice Fowler September 5, 2023 at 6:36 AM Very clever Robert! Congratulations! :) Robert Gorelick September 19, 2023 at 7:43 PM Thank you, Linda, apparently a bit too risqué for some. But that's show biz! Robert

Tania Kitchin September 3, 2023 at 4:49 PM Robert, a clever bawdy one, congratulations on your winning placement! Robert Gorelick September 19, 2023 at 12:48 PM Dear Tania, I would like to thank you for the Bawdy fruit contest. I'm pleased to have been ranked and recognized, and had a fun time writing the limerick--Be well, Robert

Bill Baker August 24, 2023 at 3:51 PM Definitely made me smile, Robert. Could be the winning entry. Bill Robert Gorelick August 24, 2023 at 6:58 PM Of course I said it all tongue and cheek! Thank you, Bill

Speaks Volumes August 24, 2023 at 12:06 AM May I innocently suggest that she share her kumquats? Would that not be a fair resolution to the problem as hand, or um at mouth ? Robert Gorelick August 24, 2023 at 6:57 PM You surely may. Would that make it a kumquat-atois? How novel.

The Situation August 23, 2023 at 7:38 PM Yes daring. Robert Gorelick August 23, 2023 at 7:40 PM I hope I'm not blowing it!

Gershon Wolf August 23, 2023 at 7:10 PM Oooh! This is daring, Robert. Can't believe I'm the only one to comment so far. Tania's either gonna love or it -- or blush. I say she does both! Congrats, gw Robert Gorelick August 23, 2023 at 7:39 PM What can I say, that's the ins and outs of this contest. Thank you for the congrats, let's see if I can reap the fruit of my labors! Robert
