Roundabout

New York Christians, Muslims, and Jews
Claim they walked a mile in God's shoes
As you may surmise
When asked for the size
They say they went barefoot like youse!

I suppose the size of God's shoe is a topic of taboo :)

Great rhyming with "yous." Like the irony of them walking in God's shoes, but actually being barefoot. "Yous" was a word when I was growing up in NJ. People in the South just looked at me oddly when I said it. Great limerick, my friend! Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you for reading, understanding, and commenting! "Youse guys" was such a common expression in the military that even people from the West used it! Aloha! Rico

Ah, Christ had jumbo feet we could never compare nor fit in his shoes. Though we try, love your spunky poem, Rico. Bless your beautiful Hawaiian heart.
