Written for Esther’s Laughing Along
With A Limerick. The prompt word is
‘bills’. Here’s where the prompt took me.

Like two peas in a pod, Nancy and Bill
Lounged in his recliner just for a thrill.
Though Nancy was coy
The remote was Bill’s toy
And he ruled all the channels at will.
But when Nancy wanted some love,
She donned her soft velvet glove.
She gave Bill a sweet smile,
Purred “Turn me on for a while”,
And Mr. Bill did not need a shove.

Brilliant, Nancy – I like laughing along with limericks! The prompt word fell in your lap – and you fell into Bill’s judging by the picture!

Very cute and getting his attention away from flipping the channels (and nothing is on like in the song) is not easy. But she figured it out with that good line. 🙂

You make a very cute couple, and I always like a girl who takes initiative. It can get exhausting always having to make the first move, so it is always refreshing when a woman expresses her interest. I Googled woman has a velvet glove for sex and all that came up were porn videos.

Waiting for the guy to make the first move is so old school and cliched, something I never believed in (although I’m certain my mother would never approve). How boring and selfish! Your velvet glove comment made me laugh; it’s meant here as “as gentle nudge, a soft touch”. We don’t need no stinkin’ porn! 😂
