Wood Envy

Have I jealousy of my dear mate?
I don’t think I have any, but wait!
I sure wish I could pee
in the wood near a tree
like my husband does, standing up straight!

Humm... sorry you didn't get a placement on this one - the double entente of the title should have been factored in. It was so funny, this was one of my first contests and I was taken aback when so many entries were crude... I actually had to go back to the definition of a limerick. It was a DUH moment!

Wonderful limerick, but tell your husband to watch out for ticks. They love the soft head. Love, daver

Haven't seen a limerick from you for a while, Andi! Good one! My wife has a similar opinion. Check out my latest limerick, too, if you have time. Cheers, Roy

This certainly gave me a thought. That a man still has need to squat. But while standing is great. An old corn cob can grate. When the tp never was brought. Hello Andrea. Loved your limy. Merry Christmas. Peace. :)

This one is FUNNY! So silly to be jealous of the ability to stand and pee. Besides it is an adventure to have to squat in the bushes, never know what may be in there.

I loved that movie the Crying Game, but be assured I have no desire of having a weenie, except when I am in need of bladder relief in the woods! hahaha

That is funny and yet true. I was a bit envious of that very thing today while burning leaves in front. I have to walk all the way to the house, take my boots off and go in to the bathroom, my husband off behind a tree.

I say, let it be "pee." I know there are many other words we can use, but Oprah uses it, and if it's good enough for her, why not for Wee. (I couldn't help from playing on the "we" there.) Good luck with your contest.
