The Usual Please

Kevin Hulme

There  an ancient Man called Frankie Pound,

Who's the oldest Milkman on the Round.

He's become a father at 78

A feat I'm sure you'll appreciate,

And at 86 a few doors down.

      Never attempted Limericks before.
      Thank you for Reading.

      Randy Frankie - remember him well....often wondered...

        Yes : Remembering Dear Benny Hill and 'Ernie'.
        Glad you enjoyed it.

          ..... Wondered why our milk was always delivered late.....

          • Kevin Hulme

            It's got to the point when the Milkman would say: 'Not today thank you' instead of the Lady.

            • Doggerel Dave

              Had trouble getting out of bed this morning (it's now 8.30 am) - too cold.
              Which reminds me, here's an addition to your milkman limerick collection:

              Now there was this ‘ere milkman name of Fred
              Who ‘ad much trouble getting out of bed.
              His job was an early call,
              He just wasn’t on the ball;
              He was on top of Missis Jones instead.

              • Kevin Hulme

                Jones? Reminded of Rupert Rigsby.

                • Doggerel Dave

                  Thanks for the prompt. Had to look him up. I sometimes like those old uncomplicated and corny British comedies, such as Steptoe.....(appalling taste when I'm in the mood) Missed out on Rising Damp - IView claims a whole season.....

                    Lol. I get it.

                    • Kevin Hulme

                      As did the Milkman. Thanks for Reading.
