LIMERICKS 8 30 & 34

Michael Edwards

 

 

There was a young man called Glyn

who had a deep cleft in his chin.

A beard sprouted out,

and the reason no doubt,

the razor blade wouldn’t go in!

 

 

There was an old man from Kuwait

who was once heard loudly to state:

‘The winter hurley burley

when it gets late early

is no patch on the summer when it stays early late!’

 

 

There was an old man from Hyde

Who got on a fly for a ride.

But he started to choke

when they flew through some smoke

and he fell to the ground and he died.

    Oh lol, good writes Michael. I wrote literally one or two poems around 1992, then not much until about 2010 onwards, except special occasions.

      VERY DROLL MICHAEL ~ There is a Plaice for everything ~ and a time for every Limerick under Heaven.

      There was a Young Poet called MIKE
      Who was GREEN so he went
      To work on his BIKE !
      One day he fell off ~ straight into a troff
      Now he don't BIKE ~ He HIKE !

      Thanks for a laff on a Sunny Sunday ~ Yours BRIAN.

        • Michael Edwards

          Thanks Fay - I have to rein myself in and avoid the really rude ones (by the way I've just written a few takes on nursery rhymes but I blush at the idea of posting then)
