Vain, Clueless Vaughn

Meet vain, clueless Vaughn, introvert
he offers a drink, he's alert.
    Bold Brenda comes on
    with kisses for Vaughn;
wine spills on his brand-new white shirt.

He grabs for a towel in a sec
and sopping, finds arms ‘round his neck.
     What’s next? more or less,
      I’ll leave to your guess.
when spring air blows across Vaughn's deck.

thank you, Rose. I like the word "yummy" and take it to mean tasteful and fulfilling. Neat word for poetry.

We gave up our deck 4 years ago, but have many pleasant memories thereon. Just built a lean-to last fall for our new home, looking forward to the cool spring and summer breezes flowing through the slats as we live and love therein. Love your comment, thanks again, and God bless.

Thank you Len. It was an enjoyable write for a contest elsewhere and I thought it was appropriate an an entry in Mohan's spring in air. I was not disappointed. Thanks, limericks are difficult to get the rhythm right; but this one came about fairly smooth.
