Trevor's Embarrassment

Trevor's buddies goaded him for a bet To venture on the scary 'ride of death' But there was laughter and jeer When a brown patch did appear Wearing white pants was his biggest regret.

This can truly happen . I remember my school days..... When I was in Standard IX, a boy who was very timid did it in his trousers. He didn't have the guts to ask the teacher to seek permission to go to the toilet. How embarrassing! For a few days he skulked classes. Quite hilarious is your limerick, dear Tom.

HA. Truly embarrassing!! Congrats. I had a boyfriend when 14. At top of ferris wheel he vomited off the side of our ride. I sure hope nobody got hit below by it. I couldn't believe someone getting sick on a ride as mild as a ferris wheel. Haha !

Thank you very much Hiya, I'm pleased you enjoyed the bawdy humour, one should never go on rides if they're feeling nervous. Lol. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Tom🌹

I'm coping Tom. I'm regularly at theme parks though - one got stuck upside down for 20 minutes and we'd used the single rider queue to cut down waiting time so were sat separately and my daughter had the bad luck to sit next to a boy who brownpanted the situation. My row was lovely though and I just pretended it was some fancy inversion therapy with health benefits 😅 my daughter was not happy as they'd been narrating their misfortune and there were odours...

HelloTom, We'll you’ve delivered a classic, laugh-out-loud limerick! I think the comedic timing is absolute perfection. White pants on a terrifying carnival ride is a setup that guarantees disaster, and wait .... sudden, visual punchline in line four lands with brilliant, cringe-worthy hilarity. A wonderfully funny, sharp little gem of observational humor, Tom! Now let me go change my shorts... Blessings, Daniel

Thank you very much Daniel, I'm happy that you enjoyed the humour. 😄 Not wanting to appear weak he accepted the dare, that was his first mistake. I used to love the rides when we've been to Florida, sadly since I had an operation on my spine I was the one left holding the bags ☹️. Hope your week is going well. Tom
