LIMERICKS 103 104 & 105

Michael Edwards

 

 

A zoo keeper known as  Vince,

an easy young man to convince,

heard a lion plea:

‘Please help me break free’

so he did and he’s not been seen since.

 

 

There was a young lady called Mary

who thought that she was a fairy

so she went on the swings

and flapped her wings

and she fell like a dead canary.

 

 

There was an old man called Ernie Shed

who stayed one day in his beddy, bed, bed

It was not by design

that he lay there supine

for poor Ernie Shed was deady, dead, dead.

    What next?!

    • Michael Edwards

      A poet known to all as Miss Berles
      who you’ll discover as the story unfurls
      did cannily invest
      in a very large chest
      where she kept a large library of syllables.

      • orchidee

        Oh lol, good write M.

      • Fay Slimm.

        Ha ha - you crease me up with every line of these clever limericks - - I am more than useless at humour and love em to bits................

        • Michael Edwards

          I'll keep 'em coming Fay - so pleased they give you a smile.

        • dusk arising

          Love those, especially number one which made me laugh out loud - thank you.

          Theres not much to see at our zoo
          just a tired monkey and worn out gnu
          there used to be plenty
          where there's cages now empty
          oh and a cat who refuses to mew

              Lord. That last one was quite the turn of events. Poor Ernie. No but in all seriousness this was great!
