Andrea Dietrich Poet Limerick

Soft Touch

(Madame is pronounced with accent on maDAME, the French way)

Near a hole in the wall, with no qualm,
Never seen, sits a frumpy Madame.
Using lotion, she works
Giving smooth strokes and jerks
With her fabulous and renowned palm.

By Andrea Dietrich

*This is the theme of a movie I saw on cable.
Its name is Irena Palm, the name a widow takes when
she goes to work at a club in order to make enough money
to allow her grandson the surgery he needs to save his
life. It's not a *****, but her "work" is a bit erotic yet discretely
portrayed. It got high marks from the critics. My writing this
was inspired by Deborah Guzzi's Limerick Contest and now
I enter it into Skat's contest!

Matthew Anish January 17, 2011 at 10:28 AM Kind of like limerick. A bit risque for the Soup! I just ordered a Henry Miller novel through the mail. I usually write Tolkiensque poems but I think I should take time for something a little "hotter". Yours Matthew Anish
