Outstanding In His Field

Tim said I was outstanding, did he mean out standing in the field
It's bloody cold out there, spring has yet to be revealed
Wearing just jockeys
Sure got some moxy
Since the last operation on my brain it hasn't yet healed

Reminds me somewhat of the old Boudreaux and Thibodeaux joke about the farmer who wanted to win the Nobel Prize, since he could be said to always be out standing in his field......enjoyed reading your poem.....

Come visit down our way... The cold has all gone away... With Limericks in hand... It'll never be bland... And with Dragon you can play!

You deserve a #7 for just using the word 'moxy'. I look forward to reading a future submission involving a Doxy. Not, obviously, on an intimate level. It's just a great word. Nice Limerick, Jack.
