Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Lady Godiva's Swimsuit

Lady Godiva searched for a swimsuit
Couldn't find one for reasonable loot
   Why should 'Lady' have to pay
   She could swim nude anyway
Private parts covered ~ she was so hirsute

Tania Kitchin September 6, 2020 at 8:30 AM Gershon, congratulations on your winning placement with your cute and clever limerick, I had to look up hirsute, well done! Gershon Wolf September 6, 2020 at 4:16 PM Thank you Tania... I think 'hirsute' became quite popular during the era of the Beatles and all those long-hair groups of the late '60's and '70's. Now it applies just as much to major league baseball pitchers! lol. Thanks, again. :) gw
