LIMERICKS 23, 23, and 24>

Michael Edwards

 

 

LIMERICKS 22, 23 & 24.

 

There was a young man well renowned,

whose eyebrows swept down to the ground.

You could tell where he’d been

for they swept the floor clean

but they tripped him up each time he frowned.

  

 

The wife of a husband called Ned,

said ‘Ned, since the day that we wed,

I disdainfully view

the biscuits you chew

and the crumbs that you leave in the bed’.

  

 

There was a strange man from Redditch

who had a peculiar fetish.

He’d roam the estate,

then lie down prostrate

and pretend to be kind of deadish!

    I am surprised that you used the swear word "Redditch" in your fun limericks. I went there once - never again. (Mind you I do have a friend who lives there)

    • Michael Edwards

      I was involved in a legal dispute when I worked in the construction industry and have a tale to tell but too long for here. yes people do live there.

      There was a Young Poet called Michael # Who went everywhere on his cycle # It kept him slim # And healthy and trim # When it rained ~ it his spirits did rickle ! Thanks Michael for another fine trio and pen drawing of where all these LIMMERICKERS live ~ BRIAN

      Ha ha ha - - a really good set of limericks to start my day's read - - I am no good at all writing humour though I appreciate reading it - and these are great fun.

      • Michael Edwards

        Of course you can with your skills Fay - just make a note when something makes you smile and take it from there - listen to a few Goon Shows if you want the absurd.

        Three humorous sketches and one of Veere. Well done, Michael. I like #3, but I've never been to Redditch. Is there a red ditch there? - Phil A.

          No Phil but I think there ought to be,
