I don’t know how I got in this fix,
or how that girl fits into the mix!
How could I know
that her I’d now owe?
“Secret Service” to her just meant tricks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whetstone: Sometimes there is just no explaining a limerick.

Pen of Atticus doth made me laugh
Of the Secret Service he wrote a gaff
Their anatomical gun
Used in in-discretionary fun
Now circumcised from Obama’s staff

Good one. They did leave themselves open to a clever retort. And what better form than a limerick.

I suspect my eschewing of news for the past few days/weeks leaves me at a disadvantage for understanding the full meaning of this poem. But I can guess...

Relax, you’ve made the deadline, now appearing at Mindful Poetry.

Oooh, clever! I love limericks, and this one is a gem.

Great post! Very funny. How could such highly respected men do something so stupid?

Washington is just buzzing about this one today!
When boys get bored, they do dumb things. : )

A very amusing poem with a neat double-entendre meaning.
