A
delightful young lady from Diss
A
night on the town she did miss
Her
boyfriend Jim Tucker
Who
was my good mucker
Wanted
more than a cuddle and kiss
This
delightful young lady from Diss
Would
only give Jim Tucker a kiss
Put
his hand to her breast
Only
to feel a hairy chest
He
thought something’s gravely amiss
Jim
Tucker was definitely not pleased
With what
resembled a carrot and two peas
She
said "I think I'm in luck"
Jim said "I don't think so my duck"
As she tried to give his
thigh a good squeeze.©Julian Clarke 2016

I do love good limericks.. they are just so hard to write...
ReplyDeleteThis is the best of my own I think.
There once was a man from Kilkenny
One night met a lady named Jenny
He was very keen
and she wasn’t green
With a smile he spent every penny
Nice one, Bjorn; they are fun. Thankyou for dropping by.
DeleteI'm not sure I'm getting all of this. Maybe if I don't think of Jim as pronoun) her boyfriend? Ah, yes.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, you're not alone as I sometimes don't get things I've written !?!. However, Jim is her new boyfriend in early stages of an explorative relationship only to find to his dismay that what he thought was an attractive young lady is infact a tansvestite. (Oh my word)
DeleteOh, man. This is HILARIOUS. I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is PERFECT: "a carrot and two peas"
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, Girl..... 2(ice) it would seem and leaving you're thoughts

DeleteWell, this is a surprising twist. Smiles.
ReplyDeletethank you, Sherry
DeleteAlways good to wear the carrot and peas when needed!
ReplyDeleteSo they say. Thank you for your thoughts, Jae.
DeleteWell, that was an interesting story, that you set to rhyme and added a twist.
ReplyDeleteTruedessa, thanks for dropping by and leaving your thoughts.

DeleteAgree with Mary sooner than later the better for him
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping in at my Sunday Standard Julian

Much appreciated.
DeleteThe Kinks' Lola? I can't believe the subject and all the possible rhymes that none began with F!
ReplyDeleteOOoo they nearly did, thnk you for dropping by and leaving your thoughts.
DeleteHahahahahahaha You made my night hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteZQ
So pleased you enjoyed it.
DeleteHa ha! And I see you held to the limerick tradition of risqué subject matter. Very cool! I have taken several runs at the limerick form - as I love humorous poetry. But, alas, I have yet to come up with something I'm pleased with. As with most satirical poems (and prose, for that matter) it's a lot trickier than it might appear at first pass. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun to write in a different genre to the norm. Thanks for you kind thoughts.
DeletePartly a consequence of liberalism perhaps. One of the same kind trying to make friends! Love this humor Julian!
ReplyDeleteHank
Thanks for your thoughts, Hank.
DeleteAn amusing theme. As someone said, reminiscent of "Lola" ... it also brought the Neil Jordan film "The crying Game" to mind. The Limerick treatment was a clever way in because Limericks so often address bawdy subjects. You wove your way carefully around the obvious rhyme in the last stanza. Neat footwork, Julian!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Richard for your thoughtful comments and much appreciated as always.
