Why I Loved Cds Poem Top Heavy Trudy

When top-heavy Trudy went drinking
She noticed the men were all blinking
Her low neckline falling 
Dear Lord, it’s appalling
That Trudy’s own “three eyes” were winking

Celebrating Carolyn's Poetry: An Uncontest Poetry Contest

Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

Carolyn was such a witty lady I loved her poems and learned so much about meter from reading her poems. The Top heavy Trudy poem is a perfect example of a bawdy limerick and I love the use of humour in the title . Carolyn always encouraged me to write witty poems especially the limerick form and the poem I chose mirrors my own sense of humour
