Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Long Jonn Silver Goes For the Gold

Long John Silver, a hurdler, goes for the gold
Tall and long-legged, he sure fits the mold
   Long John clears every bar
   It's his moment to star --
'Til his 'other long leg' sticks out too far

Terry Flood July 24, 2021 at 4:43 PM Maybe he should have entered the three legged race. Nice one, Gershon. Terry Gershon Wolf July 24, 2021 at 8:16 PM He would have had an unfair advantage in the three-legged race, I'm afraid. Great idea, Terry! lol. Happy Weekend, Warrior! :) gw
