LIMERICKS 10, 11, and 12

Michael Edwards

        

                        

LIMERICKS 10, 11 and 12.

 

There was a rude dude from Bude

who chewed juicy prunes crudely stewed

but he sneezed out loud

and showered a crowd

which started a chewed stewed prune feud.

There was a young worker from Purley

whose boss declared, quite surley,

‘You can’t do too much

for a boss in a rush’

so he didn’t and went off home early.

A girl on a diet in Pinner

grew thinner and thinner and thinner

and feeling quite sparse

she lay down on the grass

and a blackbird devoured her for dinner

    Love the WC Michael and you really are waxing LYMERICAL ~ what the Yanks make of them I wonder ? Bude ~ Purley ~ Pinner Oh yes I remember them well ~ and your Limericks are very appropriate ! Thanks for the memories ~ BRIAN

    • Michael Edwards

      Love LYMERICAL - might use it myself sometime - not sure if limericks are popular in the US or are they peculiarly British?

    • WriteBeLight

      Ha Ha wonderful Michael!

    • BrutalityPotato

        Cheers BP - anything to cheer up the site.

        Beautiful artwork. Three funny limericks. How does one judge a limerick, by humor, or poetic value? I say if you smile or laugh it's great. I loved number 12. Where the heck is Pinner, anyways? As usual, great stuff. - Phil A.

        • Michael Edwards

          Thanks Phil. Pinner has now been gobbled up in the spread of London and is now a North London borough

          My favorite was going home early.

          • Michael Edwards

            Cheers Augustus - I also love negative questions where the enquirer expects a negative reply yet, strictly, the answer is yes.

            For example: 'He's not daft is he?' to which the correct reply is 'Yes, he's not daft'.
