OUCH! L. Milton... At 1st I thought I was reading into THIS poem when I got to the 3rd line BUT then the last line confirmed my thoughts. What a fantastic use of language. Thank you SO very much...

(chuckling) Well, the ambiguity was intended, as well as the two ways one might think of this poem. Hmmm, where was your mind, Jeff. Ha!

hmmm, ambiguous? I guess maybe to kiddies. Good one, Milt.

Thanks, Andrea. I really don't know where these limericks come from. They just pop into my head, and I can't resist. Wasn't that something Mae West said? I think so.

I thought I did my best to make it rather ambiguous. Oh, well......you can't put one over on Tom Cunningham!
