CCXXXVIII - A Love-Smitten Guy.

.

Mad Kane has a regular limerick challenge.
She provides the first line, the rest is up to us. Here is my effort:

.
A love smitten guy was irate
When he found his sweet love in a state
Politely described
As ‘over imbided’
And in bed with the coxless eight*.

◊◊◊

A love-smitten guy was irate
That his member refused to inflate.
The eye of his affection
Consoled his dejection
But privately said it was great.

*For the technically minded (= pedantic) a rowing eight is never coxless,
but what is the use of poetry if you can't use poetic licence?

  1. A love-smitten guy was irate
    When he saw it was quarter to eight
    They’d been standing in line
    When she’d noticed a sign
    Now her shopping was making them late!

  7. Lets hear it for more limericks - especially those not involving Nantucket and the vulgar rhymes thereof.

    Good ones.
