Nekkid to the world…
It states in large print:
IF YOU LOOK UNDER AGE 25
PLEASE SHOW YOUR ID
I can swallow my ego, but I’ve
A hunch that my id won’t comply
Because it is timid and shy.
“Your psyche–exposed? Oh, the shame! Your self-worth won’t survive!”

Id thinks so it must be.

An obvious play on “cogito ergo sum” / “je pense donc je suis” / “I think therefore I am.” Good one, Eddy! Thanks for stopping by. It’s always a pleasure to see you here.

‘Nekkid to the world’ immediately brought to mind Eric Burdon singing ‘Spill The Wine’.
“I stood high by the mountain tops
Naked to the world
In front of
Every kind of girl”
Nice psychological-theme, David. Sorry it turned into a Burdon thing for me, but that’s the way of limericks sometimes.
Best wishes, Pete.

Pete, a few months ago, that old song, which was quirky and catchy, came to mind, and I must have listened to it again on YouTube at least a dozen times before moving on. So I actually appreciate the reference! I have to admit that this particular limerick took a long time to properly phrase, so I’m glad you liked it. In fact, your approval of my work may have boosted my…ego!

Well I’m crap at ID apparently as I thought you were a lady all this time on Pete’s blog. Duh!

I figure you are a lady who lives in the beautiful North East of England, UK, where you like to take pictures of stuff. (Okay, I cheated by going to your web site!)
