LIMERICKS 49 and 50

Michael Edwards

 

LIMERICKS 49 & 50

 

A four star chef from Guadeloupe

( in truth a bit of a nincompoop)

could make great stew

from kangaroo

but never could pea soup.

 

There was an old man in Lower Slaughter

who had a most attractive daughter

a pert little nose

and a mouth like a rose

and deep blue eyes like toilet water.

    By the way the cartoon was the design for the Club for a Christmas card - watercolour and ink.

      The once was an Artist called MIKE
      Who peddled round Town on a BIKE
      With his best Mate ~ FRED
      They painted Town RED
      But ~ Conservative Council ~ don't LIKE

      Thanks Michael ~ love all LIMERICKS and
      this pair boxes my tick ! Yours BRIAN

        Great limericks, Michael!
        Love those penguins!
        One of my studentsā€™ favorite
        Science units to learn about
        ...and mine to teach it to them!
        Those seven year olds were
        amazing! They would know at least three facts about each of the seventeen types(species) of penguins!
        An amusing write! Enjoyed it!

        A great childrenā€™s novel, ā€œMr. Popperā€™s Penguinsā€ by Richard and Florence Atwater. An enjoyable and entertaining read! The children loved it!

          I did a series of these cartoons/watercolours and they sold very quickly - pity I didn't take pictures of them at the time as I now have no records of them. They all featured the youngster getting into trouble, mum looking back concerned and Dad (usually but not in this cartoon) with his beak in the air pretending that nothing was wrong.

            Thatā€™s sound awesome!

            We, mums, worry too much for those little ones! Sometimes we overdo it!

            An adorable gal from Much Guiting,
            Had eyes all the lads found exciting,
            But every one,
            Grew tongue tied and dumb,
            And eventually struck by lightening.

            Always fun these things are.

              Love it - yes aren't they fun - got a few more to post - can't believe my collection is over 50 now.
