Short Story, Shirt Story, Limerick
DAILY PROMPT: “ZIP”
It’s a bit bawdy as Limericks should be
I do hope it gives you a chuckle
or three!
A virile young man wished to flirt
So he put on his “sensitive” shirt
It was soft pale pink
Which caused him to think
That he’d surely get under her skirt
He had the looks, the moves and the means
To finesse his seduction routines
But he felt like swearing
When he saw her wearing
Not a skirt, but some skinny tight jeans
He devised a new plan in his head
With charm he would delicately tread
He was good with zippers
But afraid he might rip hers
So he unzipped himself instead
Is this foreplay? she asked with disdain
Dripping sarcasm she could not contain
A silly pink shirt
Can’t hide such a jerk
From you I shall gladly abstain
He zipped up and planned his next move
To hone skills so his chances improve
Maybe switch to pale blue
Or self-touching eschew
To quickly get back in his groove
If the point of this story is unclear
Here’s a rule you may wish to adhere
If you’re tempted to flirt
With a pastel shirt
Resist it and just let him leer
THE END (of a chance to score)

The Secret Keeper
Tuesday, Tuesday – Two Quotes
“All they want to do is
tie the poem to a chair with a rope
and torture a confession out of it.
They begin beating it with a hose to
find out what it really means.”
