Free, at last!

get rid of your shackles!

 

A man got tired of his jockstrap

Said who bloody needs a ball trap

Set them free said the man

Let them get a suntan

And when I jump hear them go clap-clap

Author's Note

I'm sure the girls will relate, albeit with a different part of the anatomy in mind.

Thank you for my "ball fix" this morning *heh! heh! heh!* . . . You can always recommend anything of yours for me to consume . . . I mean, read . . . & it will be my pleasure. Looking thru pages & pages to find this gem, I saw many others I definitely need to come back to . . . haven't worn a bra in over 20 years, so I know all about the need for freedom & movement. Anyhow, back to your poem . . . this is hilarious & I must share it with a bedridden friend who always needs a good laugh & a brief reminder of male anatomy.

[Woody]

haahaha your review is funnier than the poem, barleygirl. thank you very much for obliging. glad it made you laugh. if I knew how to do it, I'd attach a cartoon depicting this scene. I'm sure the visual would make it more... visual, I suppose.

[Latifa]

LOL, Woody, this is hilarious :)

[Woody]

thanks a bunch Latifa :) glad this one made you laugh.

[Matching Socks]

Lol! The people on the train all want to know what the joke is but I'm not sure I can repeat it!
That was funny as hell!

[Woody]

thanks a bunch Dear :)))) do you by any chance know the name of that toy that consists of two wooden balls dangling from pieces of string? that's how I got the idea of the poem.

[Matching Socks]

That sounds more like a weapon than a toy.

[Woody]

got it got thx. it's called clackers or Ker-Bangers among other names. you dangle the balls than move your hand up and down then increase the speed. they should bang against one another once up then down.

[Matching Socks]

Lol. Oh boy... I am NOT going to say it! NOPE.

[Woody]

hahaha come on be a sport. tell them. let them visualise it. I promise they'll go home and try it. it's fun. but of course you can't know :)

[Matching Socks]

Lol. Ugh... My mind is in the gutter big time...

[Valentine]

Boy...I bet your mom had to spank you a lot when you were a kid or wash your mouth out with soap. I do not know about over there but here people do not wish to get that last word in your write.

[Woody]

what what?? what last word? what's wrong with clap clap? I had in mind the toy with the two wooden balls attached to strings that you balance and make them go tac-a-tac-a-tac (don't know the name)

[Troy Henson]

Set them free indeed Woody. Hahaha classic. I can always count on you for a good laugh.

[Woody]

thank you Troy :) overjoyed that you liked it. :)

lol shaking my head at you. You're something else, Woody...smiling as i dissolve into the atmosphere

[Woody]

:)) thank you dear lynn for stopping by. some people are born wise, some are born foolish. I believe I belong to the former category.

You make people laugh. Humor is a wisdom that makes life enduring :)

[Woody]

knowing I make you laugh is the best praise I can get :)

[Brittany Zedalis]

This is hilarious! Great work haha

[Woody]

thank you very much. sweet of you to say so :)

[Bright Ocean Star]

You bad girl! This is hysterical! Thank you for my laugh of the day. If you are this good in a second language, you must kill them in their seats in your mother tongue. Great limerick, my good friend!
Short but great! I don't usually give 100 points for tiny poems, but his was so funny, it earned the 100 points honestly. LOL!

[Woody]

hahaha. I'm really glad you liked it Anne. just wanted to try my hand at limericks this time.
now, something else. I'm at my wits' end as to why people keep thinking I'm a girl. (you're the third) I may be a bad boy, though :)

[Bright Ocean Star]

Probably, because we (in the US) are ignorant of Tunisia, but we are familiar with the spanish language. In spanish, italian, and latin (I believe) girls' names end in 'a'. If they think you are a girl (as I did), that's what probably did it. I'm sorry for the confusion. Please don't take offense, because none was certainly intended. Thanks for correcting me, though!

[Woody]

I'm not one bit offended. I wish I were a girl (haha, not true). No, I was intrigued. and now you mention it, that was a silly moniker. (Engluva as in lover of English) call me Woody :)

[Bright Ocean Star]

Well, that makes more sense. How do you do, Woody? :)

[Woody]

how d'you do, Anne. I'm so pleased to have known you (through your beautiful writings)

[Bright Ocean Star]

Woody is a tunisian name? Are you sure you aren't from California? ;)

[Marie]

Naughty, naughty!

But it's a goodlimerick; made me laught in spite of myself.

[Woody]

haha. but I assure you, Marie, I hesitated at first, then I thought Ah what the hell, if some people are too crude well that's too bad.

[Woody]

"crude" was supposed to be "prude", of course :(

[Marie]

All right; that kind of changes the significance of the comment...
