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.
Like the annual bath? Thanks Orchi
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.

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)
