Limerick In a Darker Shade of Blue

A laundryman let his dong dangle While standing too close to a mangle. When they stopped it, you guessed it, It had folded and pressed it, And now he must pee at an angle. Entered in A Funny or Bawdy Limerick Poetry Contest Sponsored by Tania Kitchen May 1, 2023 1st Place (with 3 others) Thanks, Tania

Thanks, Lin. I wonder if this sort of work place mishap is covered by Workman's Comp?
