There was an old man from Bahrain
Who grew radishes down the drain
Hot they were not
And they started to rot
So his efforts had all been in vain.
In lock-down once more
and my bum's getting sore
here on the sofa
an idle bored loafer
with nowhere to go anymore.

The second one is so very true in these Strange Times (though not so strange anymore).
Andy
Thank goodness I've got plenty to keep occupied.
Good writes M. lol. You all dressed up with nowhere to go?
I only spoil New Years Eve anyway. I turn up at parties with me water syphon - the Phantom Whisky-Waterer!
The PWW - so it's you.
Loafer, is what my father would say,
Seeing my expression of sheer dismay.
Thanks for the laughs
It used to be a popular term but don't here it often these days.
'hot' radishes, might be the oddest thing I have heard recently, though I doubt the kinda 'pickling' found 'down the drain' is necessarily all that healthy either... lol
as for 'sore bum cheeks', I window-peep all that concrete greenery my beloved city has to offer,
and through all the stilled quietude of absent industry - I glimpse, I can't help but think: what a nice break for dear old mother nature 2020 has been...
nice write Michael,
Hot pickled radishes - there's got to be a cream for that.
They told me "no longer go out"
for exercise just jump and shout
but theres something quite fishy
about flailing limbs swishy
i'm afraid ive become an old trout
so at last we've got it for real
that much promised brexit good deal
we put an end to the babble
we conquered the rabble
with stiff upper lip sex appeal
you think lockdown cushy?
well my hairs got quite bushy
the missus complains
and plays video games
while i playfully stroke the pussy
As i've said before, I just can't help joining in when i see a good limerick. Yours are super today.
Soddit i will post these today as my muse is on holiday at the moment..... thanks for the inspiration.
Keep joining in - we need all the fun we can get . Cheers dusk
This is a lot of fun. Stay Safer and Have a Happy New Year.
You too Jerry
my radishes are fine .. but I sure do empathise with that second one up there Michael ...............
so pleased your radishes are okay - Cheers Neville.
That second verse of yours Michael sums up how we all feel so wishing the next year brings us more sight of the ending of idle loafing eh ? Love your line drawings my friend.
Thank you Fay - may we all be blessed with better fortune in the coming year.
Good writes Michael,a two for one deal😀 I remembered another one my mom taught me years ago,..well I only remember the first two lines,maybe you know it,..how ever if you don't it, I'm sure you can make something wonderfully funny of it,.."There was an old man from Nantucket,with a prick so long he could suck it",lol that's all I remember of it. Cheers🍻😄
I do recall it but cant remember the rest - However here is one about that very island which is still in my 'Developing Folder' and which I haven't posted yet. So a sneak preview:
A man from Cape Cod called Stan Pluckett
attempted to wee in a bucket
but he aimed too high
and it rose in the sky
and it started to rain in Nantucket.
Lol😂 I very much look forward to its completion🤓🍻
