Manger Danger

I grabbed the ass in the manger,
risking spiritual anger
	the ass hee’d and haw’d
	I screamed “Oh my Lawd!”
my ass, not his, was in danger!

Hi Linda, I’m sorry for any confusion caused. Maybe I should have used the term comment notification rather than soupmail/email. Either way thanks for your reply Happy Christmas Howard

It's okay Howard. I can be a bit forgetful, so would not have been surprised had I emailed/ soup mailed you. LOL Happy Christmas dear!

Lol, good one Linda. Funny thing, one of my early poems was called Flynn's Ass and the poetry police put three***, I wrote it in again and as far as I know it's still there. Tom PS. It was about an Ass, In Ireland that's what they call a donkey lol.

I'll have to read it Tom. We call a donkey an ass here as well, but not so prevalent as 'donkey'. ;) Thanks for coming by! :)
