Nuts Over a Coconut

Fell in love with a coconut
The tree stood tall outside my hut
Love sublime at first sight
I thought I‘d have a bite
Lost both front teeth right on the spot

That must have really cheesed you off - two front teeth for a bite of coconut - expensive visit to the dentist! Is this limerick true? Poetry wishes, Jennifer.

LOL - no coconuts were injured in the making of this limerick... nor any teeth. Jennifer.

Haha, there's only one way into a coconut, a sledgehammer comes to mind. Tom.

Ouch but, a funny Limerick, as well. I do love coconut but, my preference is the inside meat. Well penned.
