Terry Flood Poet Limerick

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!’

Lindsay Laurie February 21, 2022 at 4:20 PM G'day Terry ... you are a wizard with your humour no doubt - thanks Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood February 23, 2022 at 12:09 PM Thanks, Lindsay. Recalled the basics of a really old gag. Needed to recreate it for this poem. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Jennifer Proxenos February 20, 2022 at 8:55 AM Wow one busy lady - love your sense of humor! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Terry Flood February 21, 2022 at 11:33 AM 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

Gary Radice February 16, 2022 at 12:22 AM 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 Terry Flood February 16, 2022 at 1:52 PM 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 ;-)

Rico Leffanta February 15, 2022 at 10:24 AM Well scribed! Thanks for the laugh and the thought that genuine bargains still exist! Aloha! Terry Flood February 15, 2022 at 10:53 AM Can’t claim credit for the bones of the gag… glad you like my ‘presentation’ of it. Cheers, Rico. Terry

Deb M February 15, 2022 at 3:43 AM Mr Flood you are truly clever with your wit……very humorous dear sir! Debx Deb M February 15, 2022 at 6:11 AM 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 Terry Flood February 15, 2022 at 5:21 AM 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 Deb M February 15, 2022 at 3:45 AM My validate code for that was ATM Ha !
