O Saucy! #limerick

Posted on Mar 30, 2023 by TanGental

This week’s prompt, from Esther, is buff. There seemed to be an inclination amongst the contributors to the saucy – possibly because of the connotations of nakedness in ‘buff’. That’s a challenge I didn’t want to pass up.

You want a double entendre…?

‘You see,’ said Jane, in a huff,
‘With my fingers, snug, in my muff.’
‘I can both buff the tips,’
‘While I ward off the nips,’
‘And keep things from becoming too ruff.’

About TanGental

My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline. I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy. I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere. These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.
