A Limerick on Minnie Mouse’s New Outfit, by Paul A. Freeman

.

And so, Minnie Mouse will impress
in pantsuit and flat heels, no less.
__But what of the vision,
__of Mickey’s transition
in heels and a polka-dot dress?

.

Paul A. Freeman is the author of Rumours of Ophir, a crime novel which was taught in Zimbabwean high schools and has been translated into German. In addition to having two novels, a children’s book and an 18,000-word narrative poem (Robin Hood and Friar Tuck: Zombie Killers!) commercially published, Paul is the author of hundreds of published short stories, poems and articles.

    At least Minnie Mouse has a derriere that looks OK in a pantsuit, unlike Hillary Clinton.
