Notes About The Poem

Contest: A Summer Bawdy or Humorous Limerick Poetry Contest

Sponsor: Tania Kitchin

Date: 7/5/26

Summer at the Beach

there is an old codger named Grimes
goes to the beach at summer time
he sits in his chair
and can’t help but stare
at all the young women’s tan lines

Lol, nothing like a bit of window shopping Oliver, as long as you don't buy the goods. Congrats on your win. Tom
