Notes About The Poem

Ouch

A nudist whose first name was Billy
Got stung by a bee on his willy
It swelled to a great size
One he couldn’t disguise
So he hid by a meadow lily

Hi Jan, Happy St Patty's Day. I love your limerick. It made me smile, and Armand's interpretation is funny, too. Now of course, I say he should flaunt it, but after getting the intellectual analysis, I understand...lol.

They said, Nudity is the reflection of innocence but not mine........

Thanks Pashang:-) hugs Jan xx

That's why I never gave in to the urge of joining a nudist colony, Jan:) Now Billy must look plain silly! Hugs // paul

Hello Jan. Allow me to say this entry was the smile for the night. Thank you for that. I have attempted several times to write a limerick entry but I keep failing. I just can't seem to get the voice tone and flow right. But I'll keep trying. You obviously have mastered its essence and flow. The theme and words are truly playful. Well done

March 9, 2017 at 5:42 PM

If you need any help soup mail me - I love the limerick form and the humour they contain:-) hugs jan xx

...continued...'It swelled to a great size' of course this refers to Satanasim. How it grew worldwide. 'One he couldn't disguise' As we know though the movement tried to hide in the basements of churches they were discovered and many who had committed heinous crimes were prosecuted. 'So he hid by a meadow lily' or as we all know her Lily Meadow the female angel whose heart was so huge she defended Hades. Wow! And then you say your poetry is not intellectual.

March 9, 2017 at 4:16 PM

Armand, you analyse my poems brilliantly and the secret messages contained within:-) hugs Jan xx

March 9, 2017 at 4:01 PM

You're writing is not intellectual? What are you talking about? In this poem 'A nudist' obviously represents the devil. Naked out in the sun you end up with a red hide. Around all those naked people you get horny hence the devils horns. If you record the name 'Billy' and play it backwards it sounds like lucifer. 'Stung by a bee' clearly points to the angels as bees like angels have wings. They are the good fighting the bad hence the sting. ...continued...

March 13, 2017 at 2:59 PM

What the heck he is talking about????? I bet Billy was a handsome guy with a good looking willy that liked lily. What is wrong with that? That is my interpretation.

March 9, 2017 at 4:06 PM

ha ha ha I love your interpretation of my poem lol:-) hugs Jan xx

March 9, 2017 at 7:56 AM

Brilliant Jan, your poems certainly brighten up my day thank you so much, Roy. :))

March 9, 2017 at 2:00 PM

I may not write intellectual poetry Roy but people do seem to like my simple style:-) If I can bring a bit of fun and a smile that is the important thing:-) hugs jan xx

March 9, 2017 at 2:06 PM

March 8, 2017 at 7:07 PM

ROFL - my goodness that's funny! If mine got stung by a bee I wouldn't hide it, I'd be posting it all over the internet. But that's just me! A Fav.

March 13, 2017 at 3:01 PM

LOL....

March 9, 2017 at 2:07 PM

ha ha ha I'd be googling lol:-) hugs jan xx

March 8, 2017 at 9:08 PM

LOL You took the words right out of my mouth!!!!

March 8, 2017 at 6:50 PM

Oh, my gosh that is slap your knee funny, Jan. I out loud love it. Needed something funny, saw your name and ran here. Your limerick dose was even more therapeutic than I'd hoped for, what a funny one - love the wit! Hugs ... CayCay

March 9, 2017 at 2:08 PM

I may not write intellectual poems Caycay, but at least they are read and understood and seem to be popular - and best of all they make people smile:-) hugs Jan xx

March 8, 2017 at 5:42 PM

Jan, sometimes I try so hard to write and wonder whether it is any good - and then I read one of your little funny poems and realize that the most important thing is to have FUN with it and to PLAY with the words. Seeing you quite obviously having a blast reminds me what writing should be all about for me. To heck with "serious" and "great" poetry- let's just play! Thank you for that reminder.

March 8, 2017 at 5:48 PM

When I first started writing and posting here my simple style was criticised by someone so much that I nearly gave up writing. There is room on soup for every type of poetry from serious intellectual poems to simple fun poems like many of mine are. I have learned so so much not only about poetry but about myself but my aim is to make people smile and forget their troubles for a while:-)and Agnes ... you write awesome poems my friend:-) hugs jan xx

March 8, 2017 at 5:37 PM

You have me laughing out loud, Jan. I knew where this was going when I got to "Billy" :) Ouch indeed (I assume)

March 8, 2017 at 5:38 PM

if you see Rodger or Billy you know what to expect lol... then again I may surprise you and not do a naughty poem lol:-) hugs Jan xx

March 8, 2017 at 4:57 PM

It hurt so bad he couldn't think...swollen, enlarged, some shade of pink...no where to run...burnt by the sun...oh how he craved a real strong drink

March 8, 2017 at 5:37 PM

Love Tim's reply, too. We should make this one of your collaborations... or maybe not.

March 8, 2017 at 5:02 PM

ha ha ha great reply Tim :-) I'd thought about him rubbing himself with dock leaves or applying cream .... but then thought better of it lol:-) hugs Jan xx

March 8, 2017 at 4:20 PM

Ha, why did he hide it, I thought he would be proud of it. He'd certainly be all the talk around the nudist camp. :) Funny Jan, too funny.

March 8, 2017 at 4:25 PM

ha ha ha - i hadn't thought of that lol :-) hugs jan xx

March 8, 2017 at 4:10 PM

Oh, Jan! This literally made me laugh out loud! Great limerick! Blessings, Kim

March 8, 2017 at 4:12 PM

I think the title and the imagery say it all Kim lol:-) hugs Jan xx
