    All men know of Queen Aphrodite:
    She is feared from Olympus to Blighty.
    She took her to sulkin'
    On marrying Vulcan
    But she cheered up on Mars sans her nightie.

    Goddesses have their problems like everyone else

    The goddesses brave men adore
    Are viewed more or less like a whore.
    They are good for a night,
    Maybe two. At daylight
    Those brave men look to them like a bore.

    There is a sly nymph known as Circe
    Who lifts up for sailors her jersey.
    It stiffens the spine
    Until bang!--your a swine:
    Crying wee wee wee wee for her mercy.

    There once was a beauty named Leda:
    Quite a shameless (it's said) fornicator.
    One day on her lawn
    She made love with a swan;
    And, the way that I heard it, he paid her!

    I think her name was "Runaround Sue"

    There once was a fellow named Nate
    Whose love for his girl wouldn't abate
    But she went around
    With other guys in town
    Proving love is the closest thing to hate
    Uhhhh...

    Ah, Lord Cupid's a rat, that I'll give you!
    With an arrow of gold will he shiv you.
    First you'll beg for the taste
    Of your lover's fair face,
    Then you'lł beg for your wife to forgive you.

    While hand grinding the beans I wondered what tasty morsels I could dunk in the brew

    In the cave of the dragon the dead
    Hung and dripped their warm blood, sticky red,
    And the damsel distressed
    Spoke to me unimpressed,
    “Relax. We have donuts,” she said.

    Heh heh. That one had some style!

    A dragon's a menace, and heck!
    To meet one, I'd not long reflect;
    But less like a hobbit,
    More like Mrs. Bobbit,
    I'd slice a clean cut to the neck.

    We Smoked the Last One an Hour Ago

    The Bern and his once-hallowed purity
    Drew voters who lacked, well, maturity.
    But now they've grown sore
    That their hero's a whore
    Kept by Goldman and Sachs for security.

    It's just not cricket

    ^Bah-hahahaha-HAH

    There was a young bride named Bobbitt
    Who knifed a nub just to cob it
    Her Hubby'd been whoring
    'Cos she was quite boring
    Then she looked for a place to go lob it
    Uhhhh...

    Thanks, Sancho.

    There is a day's evening called Friday
    When LitNetters love to play hidey
    Lest it become known
    They sit lonely at home:
    So their loneliness grows, God almighty!

    Thank you, Sancho. Just now seeing this. I am new, slow on the uptake, or just slow. ha ha. Wait, I need to figure out a way to put this into a limerick. I can tell this is going to train my brain to think in a completely different way, just like the days I used to have Edward Lear on the brain, the days nonsense rhymes were part of the fabric. Hey, worse things could befall a person.

    Ha ha! Tell me about it PB. But alas, I'm not ashamed! If I'm going to be a nerd, I nerd out completely.
