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. written November 23, 2021 on the beach in Puerto Vallarta

Lovely end rhymes! Not as bawdy as most limericks, but you get the idea across in a cosmopolitan way.

Pure fiction. If I had encountered such a gal, she would have probably said, "Get lost, you old coot!"

This limerick is so clear -- it bursts right through that Peach Fuzz! ~ Ty Cobb (aka 'the Georgia Peach')

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

Always! Some of my greatest inspiration for writing comes from people-watching.

I thought you would, Jan. Thanks...fiction is so nice, you know? So much easier to deal with than fact. Flexibility, I'd say. Hugs to you!

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!
