Reconsidered Approach

A dapper old fellow from Toledo
Possessed a super active libido
Searching for a bride
Then, losing his stride
Finally gave up wearing his speedo.

Funny, Caren. At first I wrote "a young filly from Toledo," but realized women don't wear speedos! So...well, I don't think they do, do they?

It was originally a "young filly" from Toledo, but then I realized women don't wear Speedos!
