Peach On the Beach

I spotted the gal laying on the beach
She was quite beautiful, just out of reach
So, stopping, I said hello
I noticed her instant glow
And, boy, did she turn out to be a peach.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/28/2021 7:13:00 PM Lovely end rhymes! Not as bawdy as most limericks, but you get the idea across in a cosmopolitan way.

I didn't know that was Ty Cobb's nickname. You learn something new every day!

Mark Koplin Date: 11/26/2021 4:40:00 PM Awesome Lim! You must be on vacation, enjoy the view! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 11/26/2021 6:43:00 PM Oh, how I did, Mark. How I did! I was amazed how much apparel (beach attire) had changed in two years. When I was last there, men were wearing the basketball shorts/trunks on the beach. This time, both men and women were wearing the briefest of bikinis. I was so busy watching I didn't have time to update my wardrobe. Oh, crap, what am I saying. At my age the bikini is unthinkable!
