L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

We Don'T Wonder Why

There was an old lady from Ghent
Who tooted wherever she went
Sent up a cloud
Sometimes quite loud
And she never attracted a gent.

Christuraj Alex August 2, 2021 at 2:46 AM Great Limerick with an interesting theme. Congratulations on your win! L Milton Hankins August 2, 2021 at 8:55 AM Thank you, Christuraj, for your read. Yes, it was an "interesting" theme.

Paghunda Zahid July 11, 2021 at 6:00 PM Oh poor human ;) L Milton Hankins July 11, 2021 at 7:21 PM Yes, indeed. But pretty reasonable, eh?

Rico Leffanta July 11, 2021 at 11:46 AM Heineken and boiled eggs will certainly foul the air, as will chocolate, but Jan is the authority on this subject . . . . L Milton Hankins July 11, 2021 at 11:51 AM Rico, I don't know what she ate, but apparently it created quite a stench! Thanks for the read, friend.

Terry Flood July 11, 2021 at 11:30 AM Ah, she’ll be fine now. If she goes to a covid ward she’s bound to find someone with no sense of smell. A nifty, if whiffy, limerick, Milt. Terry L Milton Hankins July 11, 2021 at 11:52 AM (chuckle) so true, Terry. I hear lots of people lost their sense of smell during COVID. This was a whiffer, indeed! Thanks for your thoughts.

Sotto Poet July 11, 2021 at 8:22 AM Astonishing.. hahaha She must be ugly or impoverished. Milton,  It was enjoyable to read. Thanks for bringing a smile. L Milton Hankins July 11, 2021 at 9:12 AM Lasaad, "tooting" is a euphemism for passing gas. Maybe some folks are not familiar with that use of the word. Thanks for your comment.
