My funny valentine

I once loved a strong man who was older
he would carry me over his shoulder
his moustache was so fine
I was proud he was mine
but as interesting as a boulder

Thanks Terry! I was very inspired watching the strong man contest, but I took it too far today and did a class that had strong man type exercises and now can barely move lol

Thank you Tom, I've never quite got to grips with the meter requirements of the limerick but collaborations sound fun :)

I was inspired by the strong man contest I attended yesterday and to be fair there was some great mental strength and charm on show as well as muscle. I did once have a tall, handsome muscular boyfriend though and seeing everyone gasp as he walked into a room was quite thrilling (knowing he was walking over to me) lol :) I think that makes me the shallow one though - oops!
