The Octogenarian's Crime

The old man flirted with barmaid- Marie
When she charged him of rape, felt no fury
Feeling proud, pleaded guilty
He wanted no pity
Sad, he was imprisoned for perjury

Well, they say where there is snow on the mountain there is fire in the hearth. Thanks for sharing this limerick with us. We all say things like everyone knows that isn't that old man's baby when he marries a much younger woman and she gets pregnant. LOL..Sara K

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I wondered if they carded him at the jail. Maybe he should have been placed in a juvenile detention center. ~ Laughter and Light, Gershon
