LIMERICKS 16, 17 & 18.

Michael Edwards

LIMERICKS 16, 17, & 18.

 

There was an old man called Bowes

who sported a most monstrous nose.

Twas as well for him

that it covered each limb

for he couldn’t afford any clothes.

 

Michael Edwards © March 1987

 

 

There was a young Knight from Nottingham

whose pyjama chords had a knot in them.

His fair lady said:

‘Before you come to bed

you must unknot the knot that you’ve got in them’.

 

Michael Edwards © March 1987

 

 

 

A ferryman from Traillee

charged his clients a profitable fee.

But a wave swept away

his wallet one day

and his cash flow is now all at sea.

 

Michael Edwards © March 1987

          Great Brian - you've given me a good laugh - think I may have mislaid my testackles though - they must be hanging around here somewhere.

          Good fun writes.

          • Michael Edwards

            I am inclined towards a rather saucy sense of humour but have kept in check in my limericks.

            • Goldfinch60

              It is not easy to not be saucy in limericks, they lend themselves so easily towards it.

            • Augustus

              Ear to ear. Nice.

              • Michael Edwards

                Thanks Augustus - ear to ear - now there's another limerick there somewhere - thinking cap on...!

              • MendedFences27

                On the limericks - humorous as always, and I agree on Nottingham.
                On the artwork - I swear I see dolphins swimming. Phil A.

                • Michael Edwards

                  Thanks Phil
                  Could be dolphins or whatever you want to interpret it as - that's the joy of abstracts - you are not shackled by images and can just paint how the mood takes you.
