Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Why Ted Doesn'T Love Lucy - Bawdy Warning

Ted suffers from 'Looseheel Ball'
It’s driving him clean up the wall
He’s got such an itch
It’s making him twitch
He’s begging the doctor to call

The medic said oh dearie me
This condition I rarely see
Your balls badly twisted
Teds scared eyes soon misted
When  doc says you need surgery

Doc bundles Ted onto the table
and borrows a knife from Aunt Mable
This won’t hurt a bit…
He gives ball a snip
Ted will rise again when he’s able
