Cheryl Hoffman Poet Limerick

The Nutty Professor

Thick glasses and buck teethed
bumbling, insecure, nerdy and meek
he got many laughs
blowing up his class
teaching chemistry with two left feet

Julius was tired of being prudent
wanting to attract his female student 
so he drank his potion
feeling new emotions
becoming Buddy who was confident

Buddy Love was a suave singing snob
who attracted Stella and a whole mob
but Stella soon knew
from Buddy's clues
that he was giving her a snow job

So Stella fell for nerdy Julius
even though his looks he did not fuss
making her laugh
before and after class
Buddy now gone they both had enough

Down the hall they'd walk hand in hand
Stella his wife, Julius her man
with braces on his teeth
she kissed his cheek
dropping books which wasn't his plan
