CLXXXXVb - Taken with Relish, a second time.

.

In my previous post, Southlakesmom suggested my problem was using
'hors d'oeuvre' instead of the more common 'finger food'. Well, she may be right.
I would need different rhymes to make it work, though.
In the end, no joy, it took 3 extra characters.


Taken with Relish #2

Her fruits and her veggies were stewed
But her fantasies verged on the lewd.
She had sex on the brain,
Dreaming of entrée and main,
While foreplay was just finger food.

  4. Is it not being truly said that you should not be playing with your food, even if they be large and manly?

  5. "Could be a sticky situation!" (<-- Hmm. Now where have I heard that before??? There seems to be an echo, here, in Blogland. LOL!)

    All kidding aside [ahem], you definitely could be a Romance Novel prologue limerick writer. *deep, regretful sigh* I know it's a dream I've always had...

  6. Based on the writing I've experienced here (and enjoyed by the way) I believe you might like reading Jack Pendarvis (I suggest "Awesome"). And for that matter, you might also like my book. It has a decent sized preview on Amazon.com ("The Gospel of Lazlo").

    Excellent limericking!

    There was a fine blog by Cosmo,
    Where a-reading blue limericks I'd go.
    His rhymes made me smile,
    They were done with such guile,
    And with themes quite risqué don't you know!

  8. I thought they were both brilliant! I love the art of limerick. its my favorite really. I thought of writing limericks on the street corner and charging a dollar--to earn some extra income. (the venture never really took off)

    Post Script: Thanks for stopping by and commenting on the Infamous. I look forward to visiting your blog again!

  9. There's something so fun about saying a limerick and a well-crafted one is extra delightful.

  15. Does she make a good tart?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Lee: Do you mean can she cook a tart? Or, as tarts go, is she a good one?

  17. Oh, Mr. Newbery! You are such a naughty boy!

  18. Oh dear...a thought for the next time we're preserving in the kitchen. It will be your fault if we all end up covered in jam. ;-)

  19. What can I say other than that you are a wordsmith who has mastered his craft...
