Waikiki Wipeout

A surfer who suffered a fall
Found a float and for help he did call.
As the drama unfurls,
It seems that curls* will be curls,
And buoys will be buoys, after all.


*INCYDK (in case you didn't know): For all you non-surfer dudes and dudettes, 
a "curl" is the curl or flip that forms as the top of a wave breaks.

Even though it sounds absurd, I enjoyed reading your play on words, your curls and buoys, girls and boys, it's the cleverest limerick I've ever heard. Nice one Jim.
