L&L Limerick - Honey, I'm Home Early

Honey, I'm Home Early

APOLOGIES, NO PICTURE RELATED TO THIS LIMERICK SHOULD BE SHOWN

There once was a woman called Julie,
Who one day went home from work early.
She looked for her husband,
And found him unbuttoned -
With all parts bare but one part barely!

What is this:

This was the limerick I wrote for my L&L. Since we learnt that funny limericks are often dirty, and clean ones are seldom funny, I tried to go the dirty way.

The "Risk":

It was hard for me to come up with something really dirty, especially when it's not a topic I often discuss. It also conflicts against my "reputation" a little. However, I thought I might as well try something different, and actually write an interesting poem.

Brief process of writing & crafting:

It was really hard to come up with something dirty. So I decided to look up some dirty limericks. Look at what they mention, their style, their punchline. And I brainstormed a couple of ideas based on those ones, and came up with what my limerick would be based on (last line). Then, I decided to add some suspense and the atmosphere of trouble in it, and so I came up with this setting and theme. Afterwards, I wrote out the arrangement of sentences structure. Then, I tried thinking and researching rhyming words and names. I picked and tested different ones. And in the end, I fixed some words for clarity, especially the last line. I also tried play with words, for example, the last line has similar words but very different meanings, giving more flow and significance to the punch line.
