My Red Bandana

I once met a sweet gal from Savannah
She loved the size of my red bandana
She put it around her neck;
Twice, I was a total wreck,
She told me her name was Mrs. Suzanna.

I rewrote this limerick a dozen times to keep it from becoming vulgar. My efforts didn't pay off. Some read into it their own interpretations...vulgar, of course.

Thanks, Jack, for the read. I see that your mind's not exactly where it should be, too? See my response to Richard, below.

Entertaining and witty. I Hope Mrs. Suzanna was pretty, my dearest friend, L MILTON. Thank you for the laugh! Blessings.

This made me laugh out loud. How does she feel about yellow bananas?

I'm so glad you got a good laugh out of it, Richard. I don't know how she feels about yellow bananas. I modified this limerick considerably before putting it on PS. I figured everyone would get the gist of it. Thanks for your read.

Thanks, Anselmo. Are you sure you didn't read more into this than I intended? Just sayin'.
