12-WORD CHALLENGE / IN LIMERICK
July’s Come Hither 12
Should any of us be feeding a “very horny editor’s room?”
This is not some rhymer’s propaganda.
Think of it as a back-room memoranda.
You want corny.
But you’re horny.
You have editor rights, so says Miranda.
Better the Hippocratic oath than the above decree.
Must have a few unloved editors feeling hungry.
Leftover custard?
Or kangaroo stew?
Can’t the doctor offer a little something from the Mary Jane tree?
So last month’s words caused a publishing cyclone?
Yet not a single editor was able to get blown.
How very sad.
Where was Dad?
Somewhere in Portugal, nads on the throne?
Hope you’ll publish this; the limerick’s benign.
The form’s still sexy, but old and on the decline.
Stay aroused.
Where editors housed.
Just do what you do and don’t think to resign.
