Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Ryan's Living in the Past

      
        
          Ryan found himself living in the past
          At eighty, how much longer would he last
              Then Ryan met some pixies
              Whisked him off to the sixties
          Where old Ryan spent his time passing gas

Kim Rodrigues October 7, 2026 at 7:15 PM Poor gassy Ryan! Kim Rodrigues October 8, 2026 at 4:49 PM 😂 Gershon Wolf October 7, 2026 at 7:39 PM Ryan had a monocle - so he was both gassy eyed AND glassy eyed. ... A little humor there. (Very little?!) lol. :) gw

Randy Freie October 7, 2026 at 6:46 PM Alas, Brother Wolf, you don't know my name, but you know my shame! "Oh, Father! How embarrassing!" Augie Doggie should respect his "Doggie Daddy!" Don't rattle my canines boy!...I'm flatulent. "Oh, FATHER!" Gershon Wolf October 7, 2026 at 8:24 PM You crack me up Randy! Thanks for the laughs. ~ gw
