Rico Leffanta Poet Limerick

Two Lips In Amsterdam

Phyllis Upman was a young maid
When she learnt the rules of her trade:
Show men what they want
Behave nonchalant
And be sure to pull down the shade! 

n.b.  Window shopping in 
Amsterdam is a more popular
tourist attraction than tulips

Valsa George July 18, 2022 at 10:27 PM Like the idea of 'window shopping' and the woman learning the tricks of the trade and 'pulling down the shade'..... :) Rico Leffanta July 19, 2022 at 6:16 PM It doesn't work well for men; even flashers need a break! Aloha!

Eve Roper March 22, 2022 at 12:28 PM Never have been to Amsterdam or out of the country and your right in every country men will look at women and women at men before the flowers, not unless they like the same sex :) . But, your funny. Rico Leffanta March 23, 2022 at 11:19 AM De Wallen is the "redlight" district of Amsterdam, where male & female prostitutes display their assets via picture windows. A queue of repeat customers does not indicate a sale! Aloha!

Susan Lawrence March 22, 2022 at 11:27 AM Rico , You wild thing you ! Yes window shopping in Amsterdam is at the top of the list for tourists and locals alike .It’s a feast for many ! Your creative imagination is always bursting at the seams ! Susan :) Rico Leffanta March 22, 2022 at 11:32 AM I was always surprised by the number of men shopping arm-in-arm with their wife or lover. Life continues to be filled with surprises! I hope Razz Putin learns that soon! Aloha 'oe! (Whom ever came up with Lazy Susan never knew you!!!)
