873 - Not the Girl Next Door


Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week are: Quick, Raw and Sassy.

Mad Kane has a weekly limerick challenge.
She provides the rhyme word, the rest is up to us.
This week the word is ‘lease’.

So, combining the two, we get…


Not the Girl Next Door.

A harlot, a young sassy piece,
Saw her business quite quickly increase.
“The example I see
Is Airbnb—
It’s a rental and not a full lease.

The woman, well known to police,
When arrested, protested “Pul-leese,
As I’ve told you before,
I like to sleep in the raw;
The men are just visiting their 'niece'.

Like Jason and the Argonaut caprice,
Men look for the famed piece of fleece.
Their sweet offers to pay,
Make me invite them to stay
But those who slip in, I release.”

  7. Ha... that AirBnB sounds just like the trick... just some additional service I reckon.

  9. I love a good limerick. Even better to have three. The first is my favourite, for the wit.

  10. Like the others, I really liked the 'Airbnb' reference. Indeed a rental but not a full lease.
