L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Not a Good Sport

I once knew a man named Billy Beaufort
With my dear wife he tried twice to consort
He failed, and I’ll tell you why,
He preferred to live, not die
Sharing my wife? Well, I’m not a good sport!

Caren Krutsinger July 15, 2022 at 3:53 AM Your wife knew better; she would have shut him down and out. L Milton Hankins July 15, 2022 at 9:28 AM Oh, I'm dead certain of that!

Unseeking Seeker July 14, 2022 at 2:05 AM Hahaha! Poor polyamorous Billy L Milton Hankins July 14, 2022 at 8:59 AM Yep. He went barking up the wrong tree, I'm afraid.

Tom Cunningham July 13, 2022 at 2:06 AM Well Billy was lucky to just walk away, if that was me he'd be sucking hospital food through a straw lol. Tom L Milton Hankins July 13, 2022 at 5:14 AM Thanks, Tom. I feel the same way. Thank goodness, this is just a fictional write.

Gershon Wolf July 12, 2022 at 7:11 PM At least you're not a sore winner either! lol. Share and share alike does have boundaries to it!! L Milton Hankins July 12, 2022 at 7:25 PM I certainly think so, gw.

Michael Tor July 12, 2022 at 2:25 PM Neither am I my friend. One question Milton, after this incident, was Billy still alive? lol L Milton Hankins July 12, 2022 at 5:13 PM LOL, Michael. This is fiction. I can't recall that anyone ever tried to steal away my wife. She would never have allowed that to happen.
