SATIRE COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio, September 2019, with verses sequentially accumulated.
 |
| "The Kiss" Musée Rodin, Paris |
Today's verses have also been web-published at OEDILF.com, an online humor dictionary that has accumulated 120,000 carefully edited limericks.
As limerick-writers are often tempted to dive into the baser spheres of human life, the dictionary has a 'curtained room', accessible only to online members, presumably flagging that the designated verses may not be suitable for children. On his own recognizance, Giorgio has selected the following verses from OEDILF's 'Curtained Room', based on their requiring only 'light curtaining', and taken the risk of offending some readers by publishing them on this otherwise sedate, and arguably family-oriented blog.
