Tania's Summertime Limerick Contest ~ 7/6/26

Sizzling Summer Heat

On this sizzling day of summertime heat
I was hungry for something cold to eat
Until Ben came along
Wearing a swimmer's thong
So, I opted for something hot and sweet

I’m addicted to writing the form and challenging myself to walk the fine line between bawdy and over the top. Thanks, Chick.

Hahahahaha, I’m on the floor! :O Can you send Ben over? I’m having a hard time with the heat here! I do like Ben’s eyes, though. ;) Then again…thong... probably not a good idea. LOL! I keep jumping into the ocean ~ to the point where my hair refuses to let oceanic salt touch it anymore! :D I love the humor in this! My kind of humor! Linnersz, you’ve nailed it! I really needed a good laugh. Hahaha! Sending you some sweet breezy light

Thanks, my wildflower friend. You may have Ben anytime you like. I'm sure he'd be happy to stand at your side. I've never had a yen for blondes. lol I'm glad my Limmie brought you a moment of laughter. Your turn to write one for Tania.
