Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

The Candy Was Hid

Mister Johns was pretty fat for his height
He snarfed every piece of choc'late in sight
   His wife the candy was hid
   You know what Mr. Johns did?
He went out trick-or-treating like a kid

Lindsay Laurie January 24, 2020 at 6:41 PM G'day Gershon … there's always a way to get around any problem. Johnny surely spoke of home cruelty to gain sympathy with chocolate - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Ronald D Thompson January 23, 2020 at 5:12 PM This is great Gershon. I can just picture this so vividly!! You've created a great story in just five short lines. This is really good Sir, a FAVE. Ron :)

Line Gauthier January 22, 2020 at 8:32 PM Are you sure this is really "a friend" and not really you... Gershon. Tell the truth now... LOL Gershon Wolf January 22, 2020 at 8:46 PM Well, truth is that I'm not really fat for my height... I 'm just rather short for my weight. Heh, heh. Moreover, I've never heard of 'John Brown,' have you?! LOL. Thanks, Line. Smiles, Gershon
