Night Walker

Their income was stretched really tight Sid’s wife had to ‘Walk in the night’ She’d offer her favours With not many waivers He’d try not to get too uptight Once home she gave hugs to their kid Gave nineteen pounds fifty to Sid His ire was intense ‘Who paid fifty pence?’ Her answer was, ‘All of them did!’

Thanks, Lindsay. Recalled the basics of a really old gag. Needed to recreate it for this poem. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Hi, Jennifer. Typical… I posted this one day and then Tania set a contest for a bawdy Limerick… guess what… my mind’s a blank. Like I said… Typical. Glad you enjoyed it. Terry

I had a good laugh this morning reading this Terry.The rhyming was spot on and I'd not heard the joke before either. Very clever. Cheers - Gary

Thanks, Gary. One of my ‘excuses’ for poetising very old jokes is that there could be a couple of generations that haven’t heard them… and just occasionally… the odd oldie. Er, not that I would dare cast such nasturtiums. Terry ;-)

Can’t claim credit for the bones of the gag… glad you like my ‘presentation’ of it. Cheers, Rico. Terry

I love to see if the validation codes have any connection to Poet or poem. I was commenting on Jim’s poem and the V Code was JYM! I’m waiting to see if POD comes up as the V Code and the poem gets POTD! Cheers Debx

Thanks Deb. The ‘who paid 50 pence… they all did’ aspect is an old, old, old joke from back when Noah was a boy. I take all credit for the sheer poetic brilliance of the rest of it. Ha Ha. Seriously…. Glad you enjoyed. Regarding validate codes… I once put a risqué poem up and the code was BED. :-) Terry
