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 © Jack Ellison 2015

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.....

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.
