Man in hammock, Drawing, Lying on top of the hammock man free png ...

Oh each summer one sport ever calls Though my energy always just stalls For I'm not but a menace Playing hot, sweaty tennis Just knocking the fuzz off old balls ... So, how slothful can one hot guy be In a hammock beneath a palm tree Where all summer, I'll swing Paying some goose to bring The fresh ice for my Long Island Tea. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Summer Laziness" Limerick Contest, Mohan Chutani, Judge & Sponsor.

An honour to share the podium with you Gregory. Must say I struggle in the heat and I'd be the one ringing the bell for more ice. Have a great weekend. Tom

Says he with a "wry (rye) smile "knocking fuzz off of old balls." So fun to let the mischievous muse go a little wild! Enjoyed it! Good luck in the contest. I think I'm headed for the hammock now!
