Next Time, Try Waterproof Sunscreen
Or, How the pirahna got his dentures
A pirahna, cruel and callow,
Took a snooze in waters too shallow.
As red as a lobster,
He called on a mobster,
And traded his teeth for some aloe.
:-) :-) :-)

I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.

Hahaha! I love everything about these limericks. The title, picture, subtitle, even your author's note is funny! I can tell you had fun writing them, because they are a joy to read.
A delightful response to a rather "tooth" inspiration.
I get it. The rhyme and intention works. Not sure about the mobster and the mob 's connection with aloe....
Awesome!!! Love this!!!❤️❤️💕
