L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

What's In a Name

Said a level-headed young man named Dick
I wish I'd a name that was not so schtick
His mother said, Put it on the shelf,
Your father named you after himself
And, we all know, he was sort of a prick!

Caren Krutsinger July 3, 2022 at 2:03 AM How the heck did you get by with the word prick? The censors always ***** my good words! L Milton Hankins July 3, 2022 at 8:52 AM Honestly, I don't know, Caren. In a recent poem, they censored out "penis." Go figure!

Maurice Rigoler June 30, 2022 at 11:03 AM Surprised that daring rhyme for Dick didn't get censored! Someone at headquarters must be sleeping on the job? You've got courage and guts besides. sir! / Maurice L Milton Hankins June 30, 2022 at 1:12 PM Me, too, Maurice. As a matter of fact, penis got censored in a poem I posted the other day. I'm still wondering why, since every man has one. They are quite common! I just inserted some asterisks and it went through. Strange.
