Notes About The Poem

For Palindromes Poetry Contest -Sponsored By Joseph May. - Written On 21st February 2026.

Poor Dan

Naomi sex at noon taxes, I moan
She gets frustrated and let's out a groan
Poor Dan is in a droop
And felt out of the loop
Naomi got bored and reached for her phone.

Hello Tom, You’ve got such an easy, mischievous touch with limericks, and this lands exactly where it should light, cheeky, and perfectly tuned to the palindrome challenge. A fun, clever entry, my friend. Warm blessings, Tom, Daniel

February 23, 2026 at 8:22 AM

Thank you very much Daniel, it was challenging to put it together. Limericks are meant to be a bit on the bawdy side so I think I'm on safe ground. Although the reality of the situation for many isn't funny at all. Tom

February 23, 2026 at 5:32 AM

Good one Tom. Good luck in the contest :)

February 23, 2026 at 8:18 AM

Too Funny. I enjoyed reading your wonderful write with a great picture. "Good Luck" I did, "Hannah Meets Up With Bees and Blue Cheese, While Estelle Meets Up With John." Not sure if this was what he wanted. Hope you are OK... Have a great day/week writing away..........

February 22, 2026 at 3:54 PM

Thank you Paula, it was a tricky one to compose. Had to make lots of changes to it. Hope your week is off to a good start. Tom
