Shawnee - that's a fine limerick. Are you using the southern pronounciation (yellar and fellar)?

(sorry Flint, I'm not to trying to steal your thread, but...).

I'm not really happy with "limp-wristed," (In the version I wrote after having too much sugar with lunch), and that would be a good replacement:

We pussyfoot around all day,
lily-livered, laggards,
lollygaggers, haggard, bedraggled,
we stagger toward the plane,
all work and no play,
shop-worn- and long-tormented-stragglers.

While ladies yawn, we put our pants on,
the gong rings out for absolution,
and Flint finally finds the final solution.

And "swagger" should fit in there somewhere, too.
