There Was Once a Man From Dunkirk

There abided an old dude in Dunkirk

   Who was a deacon in the parish kirk

      He cast his lecherous eyes

         On ladies' keisters and thighs

            He was renowned about town for this quirk

Seems like this deacon was not as pious as he should have been, Bob. Very witty and I think the subject matter is just what Deb's looking for. Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn
