Tattoo From Kalamazoo

There once was a lass from Kalamazoo
Who got a massive Mickey Mouse tattoo
'Twas inked on her wee fanny
When she became a granny
It sagged looking more like Winnie The Pooh

Thanks, Gershon! It came out in the end, that's for sure! Great to hear from you. I hadn't seen any of your wonderfully, profound/witty writes on Soup recently and was getting concerned. Hope all is well - BoB

That is a classic, bawdy limerick with a fantastic comedic punchline! The visual humor of the tattoo aging from one iconic cartoon character to a much rounder one is very clever. Structurally, it hits the traditional AABBA rhyme scheme and relies on the bouncy, anapestic meter that makes limericks so entertaining to read aloud.

Lol this is a hoot Bob, tattoos look good on a young person but sag in old age like the lass. Hope you're keeping well. Tom👍
