Delayed Gratification.




















My sailor is great at the rumba,
the cha-cha, the tango and samba.
But when I am ready
to take him to bed, he
insists I must first learn to salsa!

Disembark at Magpie Tales for more sightseeing.

      Ha! At first glance, I read that she also had to eat dessert before bed. But of course she had to learn yet another steamy Latin dance!

    Sailor boy is pushing his luck or maybe he needs a warm-up. Wonderful limerick, Stafford!

    Ingenious as usual, and I like the near-miss rhymes in your limerick.

      Doc, I blame it on those Latinos who invented the dance names!

      Maybe he was not a real sailor but dressed up in a sailors clothes.
