John Michaels Poet Limerick

Some Romeo - Bawdy

Matt gifted her chocs and a flower
Without joy after many an hour
    Rebuffed trouser lump
    Not even dry hump
So ended the night with cold shower

Lisa Ricci May 20, 2017 at 1:25 PM Hello John. This was the chuckle and smile for the day. Thank you. Limericks are harder than what they look and you did well. Now about that shower..... John Michaels May 20, 2017 at 3:15 PM Thanks Lisa... am glad it made you smile. You're right that limericks are a tricky beast and I've only written a few that I'm happy with (including this one)! Your kind comments are always appreciated! Regards, John.

Eric Boddie May 18, 2017 at 11:55 PM now i dont want to sound like a retard....but dude, that goes so hard....but never a cold shower because what i would do....if she told me know, then its on to option 2....lol John Michaels May 20, 2017 at 9:07 AM Thanks for your comments... fair point, but I needed something to rhyme with "Flower"! Hey, you could always consider the "cold shower" to be a metaphor for something else!! Hope the limerick made you laugh! Regards, John.
