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! Check it out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0762110/

Hi Andrea -- this is great. A perfect limerick for the theme of the contest. And funny. And just everything a limerick should be. And very deserved of its win. Congratulations. Thank you for all the kind words you have left after reading my poetry. I'm so glad you liked some of my writing. Best wishes. Love, Deb

Delighted to have been in that first with you for the Limerick. Such a thrill. I noted we both had the same theme more or less! Many congratulations to you, DÉirdre

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

Good one for the contest, Andrea. I don't think you'll get in any trouble, but you certainly are giving Deb what she wanted. Surely a winner! Love, Carolyn
