Limerick to Old Men

Folder: 
Humor

As I grew older

I also grew bolder

and with all the young girls I did flirt.

My wife caught me eyeing,

And assisted my dying,

Now all I'll be eyeing is dirt.

yes one best look over one's shoulder
when eyeing our neighbors young
radishes. *Snicker
Ferrel as an old man and dying
I get dirt too for eyeing!
