Notes About The Poem

03/27/25

Not today Tumbleweed

Suck off Ted’s teaching grandma to suck eggs “Don’t patronise me lad,” she begs "It’s a job I can do SO much better than you Just scarper on your asses legs!" Gran whispers words I won’t repeat Ted’s blushes as red as a beet She is so worldly wise And it is no surprise This jackass won’t usurp her seat!

I think this might be some English humor. Great job, Jan.

Jan, someone said, "A weed is a plant whose virtues have not been discovered." Hopefully, these tumbleweeds will do some self searching and find something of value that stops them from being blown and adding nothing of value. Smiles!!

Another tumbler doing something he shouldn’t have. Ted, or whatever his name is, you’ve been tumbled! Great Limericks, Jan.

They can both be used by any woman who has been legitimately scorned by a disrespectful male.

Now dear old Tom thought he was wise, but he was in for a surprise, for Gran was smart, and she smelt a fart, as Tom tried to pull the wool over eyes.
