Image result for men in tights

~ There once was a young Brit, Robin Hood, Plundered bad folks and gave to the good, He loved armor and knights, But was quite fond of tights, And decided to wear them for good ... Now, sweet Nottingham, taken aback, For his pantyhose took too much flak, Thus dressed like a fairy, With men, far too merry, And not near enough gold ... in his sack. ~ ~ 5th Place ~ in the "A Limerick, Old Or New: Your Personal Favorite" Poetry Contest, Andrea Dietrich, Judge & Sponsor. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Limerick 3" Poetry Contest, Joseph May, Judge & Sponsor. (Syllable count = 9,9,6,6,9 x 2, counted @ HowManySyllables.com)

gosh, Greg. you were supposed to just enter ONE limerick! (I need to make that clearer in my next contest) Anyway, of the several people who entered a set, yours was one of the top ones! (I was gonna HM them, but I am glad I decided to give them placement because this one, for example, is very well written). Congrats!

My bad ... things are just too horrid for me to think straight right now. No excuse, I need to read and comprehend better. I was GOING to enter "Fred", too, which is really my funniest. I thought you'd find this a bit more witty, not noticing the single verse requirement. Thanks for placing me just the same. I seem to be at odds here lately ... in many ways. Thanks again. <3

Looks like my eighth-grade graduation picture. We wore our pants so tight back then (1963), I sometimes had to use a scissors and cut a slit in them to get them off. (Not kidding there!)… Anyway, instead of holding a bow like Robin, I took a bow as I walked across the stage...And that bow almost split my pants. (Then my derriere would have been a real target, I imagine!) LOL... Congrats on your first place finish, Gregory! ~ Gershon

LOL - what a great story, Gershon, I got a big smile from it! I was not quite kindergarten in '63, but went through a tight jeans period in junior high, and had a "rip-out" more than once ... in the back, of course, lol. We survived the 60's, thank goodness! Blessings, Buddy! :-)

A cracker of a limerick Gregory, Only yesterday I looked at that picture and thought I'll use that one, perfect, Good job I saw your limerick or you might have done me for copy-write infringement lol. Good luck. Tom.
