Terry Flood Poet Limerick

Short Measure

She asked them because love is silly
To tattoo her name on my willy
“Its Gillian Constantin”
They couldn't fit all that in
And finally settled for “Jilly”

Janice Canerdy May 8, 2023 at 9:05 PM Oh, my! Naughty, clever--and funny, Terry. CONGRATS on your win. Janice Terry Flood May 15, 2023 at 4:40 PM Thank you, Janice… that’s very nearly me… naughty and funny… but way too modest to claim ‘Clever’ ;-)

Jim Slaughter May 8, 2023 at 1:52 PM This is an excellent example of a reason why "pet names" are so important...they're shorter! Congrats on your contest placement, Terry. Terry Flood May 15, 2023 at 4:38 PM It’s just a shame that when I asked for my own name to be (ahem) put down there, they said, ‘could we just put your initial?’… I wouldn’t mind, but I have no middle names… ;-)

Gershon Wolf May 7, 2023 at 7:54 PM Exposure can leave it chilly. :) Terry Flood May 8, 2023 at 12:36 PM True, but something to play with and something to read sounds like the perfect Christmas present to me.

Linda Alice Fowler May 7, 2023 at 6:15 PM LOL Terry. Reminds me of the movie, "Down Periscope". Good one! Congratulations on your win! :) Terry Flood May 8, 2023 at 12:35 PM Not seen, “Down Periscope” but the mind boggles! ;-)

Lin Lane May 7, 2023 at 5:30 PM Typical Terry Flood humor! Congratulations on the winner. Lin Lane May 8, 2023 at 12:37 PM tsk Terry. Terry Flood May 8, 2023 at 12:33 PM Thanks, Lin. Good job she didn’t want her address included ;-)

Andrea Dietrich May 7, 2023 at 3:58 PM heeeheee!! Congrats Terry Flood May 8, 2023 at 12:34 PM Thanks, Andrea. Glad you enjoyed.

Tania Kitchin May 7, 2023 at 1:31 PM Terry, congratulations on your winning placement with your funny limerick! Terry Flood May 8, 2023 at 12:30 PM Thanks, Tania. An eleventh hour entry, so I’m chuffed with a placement. Terry

David Kavanagh May 7, 2023 at 5:30 AM Could be worse Terry, at least they managed the Y as well, Jill alone would have left her pretty short changed, nice ink, Cheers David Terry Flood May 7, 2023 at 11:30 AM I’m afraid I persuaded them to fit in the Y… otherwise I had no Limerick. Of course, this is a classic case of lines 3 and 4 reading better if the latter were one syllable short… but rules is rules. ;-) Terry
