Stalking Eyes [Limerick]

a babe with a pleasing roll
was out on a teasing stroll
headed for a pub
but turned to a club
to slither on a dancing pole

Excellent, Raj!

traditionally the third and fourth lines are shorter and add a different slant to the joke.
Perhaps something like-
but a nasty thug
slipped her a drug
and she found herself slithering a pole

Thanks Jess

for the visit and pointing out that line 3 & 4 need to be shorter. I have complied to that requirement and hope this now fits the bill.

thanks too for suggesting a change which is also very good but that would make the fifth line a tagd longer..

much better

see what I mean by it being a strict and structurally humorous form?

Now are you ready to take the challenge to write one that is deadly serious?
