Carolyn Devonshire Poet Limerick

Titillating Experience

Mom caught her boob in the washer’s wringer
Rotor made Mom an opera singer
    Tit for tat, she got redder
     Pop struggled with the lever
I pulled the plug, was able to spring ‘er

Wow!  Mum is the word on this awful day
We don’t refer to this deed of foul play
     “Hah! Your Dad’s a dud," she cried
     As with pain pills she was plied
Now under the radar Pop stays away




*Entry for David William’s Palindrome Mad Contest
By Carolyn Devonshire

Palindrome Words:
Mom, boob, rotor,  tit, tat, redder, Pop, Wow, Mum, refer, deed, Hah!, Dad, dud, radar

Gail Debole March 31, 2012 at 7:07 PM Hi Carolyn - This is funny, but OUCH! I have been thinking about your poem after reading it a few days ago. My grandmother had a washer with a wringer and I used to watch her pull the clothes through when I was very young - so thank you for bringing back a wonderful memory of my grandmother that I hadn't thought of in years. - Gail
