L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Unwelcome Advice

A pert young lady from back in a hollow
Had trouble with her new fellow, Carballo
He was giving her head advice,
In fact, he wasn’t very nice
Insisting now that she learn how to swallow.

Jeff Connelly May 29, 2022 at 11:49 AM 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... L Milton Hankins May 29, 2022 at 12:00 PM (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!

Andrea Dietrich May 29, 2022 at 11:15 AM hmmm, ambiguous? I guess maybe to kiddies. Good one, Milt. L Milton Hankins May 29, 2022 at 12:01 PM 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.
