THE BUTLER AND THE LADY, IN WAITING.

1A-M.

My Lord, my Lady is waiting
She is ready, she says, to retire
And would you desist in partaking
Of whiskey in front of the fire?
My Lord, a word of warning
There is a gleam in her eye
She wears a flimsy adorning
And her manner is coy and quite shy

2A-M

My Lord, my Lady's still waiting
She perfumes herself with an essence
She powders appropriate places
And is anticipating your presence
My Lord I feel I should tell you
Her voice is quite sultry and deep
I think we are safe in assuming
My Lord won't be getting much sleep

3A-M

My Lord, my Lady's still waiting
And is writhing about on the bed
She is running Her hands down her person
And her eyes they dance in her head
May I add that my Lady's patience
Appears to be wearing quite thin
She is hinting at raiding a guest room
And getting another stud in

4A-M

Pardon, my Lord, she grows angry
She told me to, quote, tell that toad!
That here is one heated filly
Who is going to be bloody well rode!
Pardon, my, Lord, but she told me
To 'go tell your bloody sire
If it isn't done here then we'll do it down there
In front of the help and the fire! '

5A-M

My Lord, you need no longer hurry
She lies like a baby at rest
The threat has now been rescinded
Of picking the best from the guests
Would you like me to pour you another?
Yes, I did exactly as told
If you'll excuse me my Lord, being naked
I really am feeling the cold.

I so enjoyed this naughty dance of a poem. Such a humorous limerick I will not soon forget. The tale it tells can be so relatable to old married couples. It had me smiling and laughing throughout. Wonderful work, Bryan. Thank you for sharing your poem with us.

What a wonderful review. The Sun's shining and now so am i. Could you as were please, what is the rainbow coloured strip in the stats?

[Chris Shaw]

Not sure what the rainbow coloured strip is in the stats Bryan. Look for the pot of gold though:) Enjoy your sun shine day and keep smiling.

Hilarious Bryan. So well told and I saw it all in full technicolour in the appropriate time period. Much fun and thank you for the smile this morning. Have a lovely day. Could have come straight out of Downton Abbey or similar.
