Show-Off

Once there was a pitiful young dandy from Dubuque Who behaved like a complete socially inept kook Would exhibit his largest asset In an inappropriate basket It was enough to make a less endowed person puke! written May 25, 2021

Now this is what I call a graphic limerick. -- And a dandy one, if I may say. Thanks for the chuckle, Milt! :) gw

Thanks, G.W. I thought it might be kicked out, but then I realized it could be a double entendre and mean something entirely different. Only he and I know for sure...and you, of course.

So it's like lugging a squirrel in a tight front pouch. Curious eyes might even say, "Ouch"! This one's funny Milton!!...ab

I dare not ask what his largest asset is

Whatever you want it to be, Caren. I don't know myself, but it rhymed nicely!

Hmm... I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve ever seen you and Jan in the same place at the same time. Are you actually the same person... or is the bawdy bug multiplying... fast! Witty words Milt. Terry

Thanks, Terry. Nope, I can't hold a candle to Jan! She's the best.

Well, occasionally, I let my hair down, Judy. Thanks for your fine comment on my limerick!
