LIMERICK No 56

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

A shop worker from Darjeeling

peed on the floor every evening

but  his friends in the shop

pleaded with him to stop

so he promptly peed on the ceiling.

    The dirty old bishop of Birmingham,
    Buggered his flock whilst confirming 'em,
    he sat on his hassock,
    and lifted his cassock,
    and slipped his episcopal worm in 'em

      He should be excommunicated by now then! Oohh. Bit naughty this.

        Ah - writing formula poetry - nice one dusk 🙂 🙂

        • dusk arising

          No counting involved, just following shakespear.

            Interesting that - to get the right metre you are still running to a formula even if the counting bit is done subconsciously. You shake that spear.

              Well to my musician way of thinking, there is a melody i am following. A fine old Irish limerick tradition dontcha know. She stood on the bridge at midnight, the sea was all a quivver, she gave a cough, her leg fell off, and floated down the river.
              No maths, no silly names, no difficulty, no prowess, no grand accomplishment.

                Excellent limericks - why don't you publish them here in the gallery (or community as it's strangely called on this site).

                Did he defy gravity then?! lol.

                • Michael Edwards

                  He thought he was in a rain forest.

                    Miss Berles know about this guy?

                    • Michael Edwards

                      She disowned him.

                      At least on then floor you could walk around it, on the ceiling it could drop on you.
