Poetry: Limericks

by Dolores Moore

Created on: August 05, 2008

I once knew a girl in Mahon,
Whose trousers she could NOT get on.
Though her struggle was great -
Twas superfluous weight,
But with diet, she's now almost gone!

A very old man in Helsinki,
Had a tic that was cheekily winky.
So to all passers-by,
He gave the glad eye.
Now he's nursing his bruises with drinky.

A lady residing in Butte,
Kept a big house of much "ill-repute."
But despite her great fame,
Wrinkles altered her game,
Now she's knitting and sewing for loot.

There once was a guy with a smirk,
Who was known far and wide as a jerk.
But his sardonic smile,
Got lost for a while,
When poked in the eye with a fork.

A girl with posterior large,
Took her seat for a trip on a barge.
As the waters lapped round,
And the passengers drowned,
She was heard to remark "Who's in charge?"
