Limerick: Twenty-Three Skidoo

Flapper Shirley Shively sighed and thought, how could she?
She'd love to do that hootchie-kootchie dance, but would she?
Though the boys she loved to tease,
She was, sadly, quite obese.
Surely Shirley Shively shouldn't shimmy, should she?

Beryl Edmonds Date: 3/19/2023 11:32:00 AM Why ever not, Shirley Shively should shimmy with pride, never mind how wide she is on the outside, what matters is what shimmy’s in her inside… Belle Login to Reply Jim Slaughter Date: 3/19/2023 12:38:00 PM Absolutely, Belle...if you got it, flaunt it. Thanks.
