L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Special Services

A Portland man found himself in perpetual gloom
Invited a pretty gold digger up to his room
He paid her well for special services,
Asked her to be one of his mistresses
And learned later she swept him cleaner than a broom.

Anselmo Boles January 24, 2022 at 10:26 PM Hahaha. Clever! Being swept cleaner than a broom...not a happy ending for anyone!! Thanks for the laugh...ab L Milton Hankins January 25, 2022 at 9:30 AM I'd say so. He obviously wasn't very discerning...or smart, in my opinion.
