Pinky and Perky

One time on an Amsterdam trip
We decided to watch ladies strip
Some were pinky and peached
But this Scotsman couldn't reach
Oh my, I must be losing my grip

So I sat back and watched it all
Their clothes shed as my eyes befall
Undulations of delight
On this Amsterdam night
This Highlander left in thrall

To Scotland we head back the next day
Ogled eyes have now had their say
Many memories so pert
But boy were we alert
The credit card we now have to pay

Limericks are good fun Olive, and just for the record. I've never been to Amsterdam. Such a club doesn't interest me, but the canals and Tulip Fields, oh yes - James :)
