Possibly Naive

There once was a man named Dan
rather tall handsome and tan
the girls all did swoon
when Dan chose to croon
not a songbird could even compete.
Though Dan was a man, yes indeed,
came some warnings he chose not to heed,
he was virile and strong
and life rolled along
till this sign appeared visibly.
No chance anymore he'll ignore
time to see the Doc for a cure.
Turns out the Doc starts to laugh,
you are naive my dear young chap,
no reason to panic you see,
just a stiffy, is all it would be!

Great rhyming, Mark. Looks like you put a cute couplet on the end of your triple limerick.

Poor, Dan, with his naivete'. Well, at least he was okay. This work is somewhat borderline with x rated. Sara K.
