Teenage Trilithon

Of course the lads took a poll To learn for whom their balls toll Despite all their lies It was no surprise The nearest lass was their goal

Well, it certainly seems to be this way. Loved the reference to the Donne poem, one of my favorites. I think women are a little pickier than men in this regard... Hugs, Carolyn

Ernest Hemingway would be very proud of you -- if he weren't so jealous. (Did he even have any balls?). Pretty funny, Rico! :) gw

This is a fine one, Rico. Perfect syllable count. But, mostly it's so damn funn-y! Funn-y! I love "for whom their balls toll." Couldn't have said it better...quote from Hemingway, a favorite.

Thank you for your kind comments, but is still tough being a teenager! Aloha! Rico
