Baby Austin

An ancient, naughty limerick, told to me by my father

There was a young man from Boston

 

who drove a Baby Austin

 

just enough room for his a*s

 

and a gallon of gas

 

his balls hung out an' he lost 'em

Author's Note

Dad told me this one, and the car referred to might have been an Austin A-30.

Just glad he had you first! 😊

Yeah, a lucky stroke of luck for me! Thanks, my friend.

That is a good one

If he'd bought a truck
instead of a small car
those precious entities
would not have hung down
quite so far

[Samuel Dickens]

Thank you. I guess that's why men love trucks so much.

[Norman 223]

So presumably Baby Austin was the last he ever had :-D

[Samuel Dickens]

I love your wit, Norman. Thanks for reading.

I'm really loving the limericks lately. This one is fun & well-crafted. Poor guy . . . *smile*

[Samuel Dickens]

I'm glad you liked it, and so is Dad.

[Woody]

haha the more colourful they are, the funnier. I love limericks and I, too, remember ones I'll never forget.

[Samuel Dickens]

See? I'm silly, too.

[Woody]

There was an old lady from Denver
Whose days were quite clearly Septembers
She said, "My fires have burned low
I'll admit that is so
But one still might fun in the embers"

I know some others but they are unmentionable. lol Chuckling here Sam.

[Samuel Dickens]

Thanks, Fabian. I figured you might know a few of those.

[Eileenws]

Very funny. I wish it were the Marathon Bomber.

[Samuel Dickens]

I think he needs to lose more than his family jewels. Thanks for reading.

[Eileenws]

It would be a place to start.

[Angel's Lady]

I love it, Sam!

[Samuel Dickens]

Thanks. It's just something dad told me over fifty years ago, and I've never forgotten it.
