SOME LIKE IT HOT!

 

I love an old movie called "Some Like It Hot"
Two guys from a jazz band, had witnessed a plot!
Their lives might expire
from gangster's gunfire
They ran like the dickens without getting shot!

They're quick to leave town, while they try to compose...
With tricks of their own, before anyone knows!
With wigs on their heads
and lipsticks of red …….
They're wearing silk undies, and new pantyhose!

They land a new job... (Not a word to the wise!),
while dressed as two chicks, as an artful disguise
But surprise takes a twist
when they cannot resist
a marriage proposal, and a boat full of lies!!

Romance in the "20's" was stranger than not!
Bootleggers and gangster's would stir up the pot
The plot only thickens
The pace of it quickens, 
when they find true love on a millionaire's yacht!

Every part of this poem was a delight to read; I could not help wondering - did you recently re-watch this movie? I have not seen it for years, but know you have captured it beautiful, and in limerick form too. I think limericks are the most difficult poem to write, yet this one makes it seem effortless.

Limericks are so difficult to do yet you managed to string three of them so well. Awesome penning, dear Carrie. Bravo.

What a kind comment, James !! As one who I consider an expert poet, I'm pleased that you liked this silly poem! (I haven't done a lot of limericks....It was kind of fun for a change)!
