Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

This Condom Manufacturer Has Made a Bit of a Cock-Up

The Durex Company’s fearing the worst
Non latex condoms are now known to burst
There’s a product recall
Hope they can trace them all ...
Or unplanned babies may need to be nursed!

Inspired by this newspaper article - n.b it's only certain products which are sold in the UK and Ireland

Jerry T Curtis August 18, 2018 at 7:30 PM I heard a story once about a condom factory that also manufactured nipples on baby bottles .... I guess it was a Win Win situation for them

Jack Horne August 18, 2018 at 11:05 AM LOL, love it - wouldn't be laughing if that had happened to me, though...LOL

Lindsay Laurie August 13, 2018 at 7:59 PM G'day Jan … nothing escapes that rhyming pen of yours does it - bloody ripper again aye - Lindsay Jerry T Curtis August 18, 2018 at 7:32 PM I get inspired by reading your stuff Jan Allison August 15, 2018 at 5:49 PM I get inspired from reading newspaper stories lol:-) hugs jan xx

Rico Leffanta August 13, 2018 at 4:33 PM Quite timely, Jan, as this morning's newspaper carried a public warning not to use the same condom (or female accoutrements) twice. A product recall seems hazardous to the health of postal employees, so look out for squishy mail! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison August 15, 2018 at 5:48 PM ha ha ha Rico :-) hugs jan xx

Sara Kendrick August 13, 2018 at 4:22 PM Whoa!! That would be a bit of a surprise. Enjoyed reading your work. Thanks for stopping by. There is a church that was built not too far from here and the man who gave the most money or practically built the church owned a condom company and when he sold it and retired he built the church with some of the money. Sara Jan Allison August 15, 2018 at 5:47 PM Thanks Sara and John I love that comment lol:-) hugs Jan xx John Lawless August 13, 2018 at 4:43 PM WOW, what an erection....
