507 : A Penitent Limerick


Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week were believe, penitent, tribute.

Now I confess I have only used one.
This limerick evolved while pondering the three words
And I saw no reason to discard it.

Simultaneously Red Dirt Girl had posted
about women doing housework naked.
The two things sort of fitted together, with the following result:


While professing to be penitent,
The remorse was after the event.
When he saw his wife nude
He said “I hate to intrude”
But, quick as a flash, in it went.

  1. When I was a kid those who chose to do the housework naked were called "Jaybirds".

    And...I've not heard that description for years and years...and even more years!

    1. "Naked as a jaybird".
      Or, in this case an FJaybird, if you go back to Lola's original post.
