A Bit Of Whimsy

Though I am old, I'm no prude,
And if a handsome hunky young dude
Were to offer the bliss
Of a smile and a kiss,
To refuse him would simply be rude.
There was an old Santa called Otto,
Fell asleep one day in his grotto,
The children they cried
They thought he had died,
But Santa was just simply blotto.
There once was a sock that was lonesome,
It's sad that he's all on his ownsome
He'd been one of a pair
It just wasn't fair,
Do you think the washer just drowns some?

With three boys socks always get lost. Lil Keith is not as bad these days but the twins hate wearing socks. They take them off and toss them just anywhere.

@jaboUK One of the aunts got the twins slipper socks for Christmas. I have not tried them on them yet but I hope that they will keep them on during the cold weather.

I am so big on the teeth yikes, I don't know how some can just forget to brush for days on end. I also think my socks dissolve in the dryer, there is just absolutely no other explanation.

@farbuoloxusy Yup, it pays to take care of your teeth, and there are so many lonely socks

@jaboUK I use to make dog toys and little holiday decorations out of them but how many dog toys and decorations could one person possible need. So now I just toss them.

@jaboUK I mean it, somehow you always seem to post these cute little limericks on days when I come home and am so tired and feeling so low and overwhelmed. Yesterday was all of that, and I feel connected to you as a friend as a result. Your words were good!

@jaboUK - Ms Janet - I guess that I was either gone from the MyLot or asleep when this post hit the newstand. Good rhyme and some fun sentiments. My bride said that she relates to the missing sock deal, and maybe that will cause her to quit hollering at me when one of my socks comes up missing in action. ( )

I've not a clue what you might mean by 'blotto' in the one about Santa. Cute limericks, these. It looks like I missed it the first go-round.
I'm curious about your image, it looks somewhat like what Gus might do. Is this something you learned from him? I've not seen him about for quite a few months.

@MarshaMusselman Blotto means passed out through being drunk. Gus made the image for me from one of my garden pictures. Sadly he left in disgust after one of his posts was considered to be a poll, and was deleted.

@jaboUK I didn't know he had a deleted post and it's too bad he didn't reconsider posting here with other things instead.
