Krish Radhakrishna Poet Limerick

Sizzling Hot

On a hot summer’s day nearly forty degree,
Ageing couple sprawled under an oak tree,
said she with a shy toothless grin,
“If you really wish I will let you sin”,
“No, my dear” he said “I prefer a cup of tea!”

Mohan Chutani June 18, 2020 at 7:59 PM Krish, a clever refusal by the old man for a sinning but sizzling hot offer under the oak tree. Enjoyed. Congratulations for top placement in my contest. Best.

Gershon Wolf June 7, 2020 at 12:30 PM Ha, ha! Very good, Krish! Wonder how that jilted woman feels. Her ego was burnt to a 'T!' Smiles, Gershon Mohan Chutani June 18, 2020 at 11:14 PM I donot think she is going to leave the old man like that. Haha. Krish Radhakrishna June 7, 2020 at 1:00 PM Gershon Thanks! I hope she would interpret it as Summer laziness!
