When a young man searching for gold
Went out in the bitterest of cold,
And dug in the iron hard ground
He discovered a chest shapely and round,
And a girl who said, “I’m cold!”.

My Local Park
When an elderly gentleman whose name is Mark
Said, “you should avoid the local park,
As a loose young lady named White
Tempts men into sin, both day and night”,
I said, “how do you know that Mark!”.
Maddie Revisited
Yesterday (24 April), I posted a humorous poem entitled “There Was a Young Lady Called Maddie”, https://kmorrispoet.com/2020/04/24/a-young-lady-named-maddie/.
I emailed my poem to my friend Andrew, who replied with a slightly modified version of my limerick.
Below is my limerick, followed by Andrew’s poem:
A young lady named Maddie
Placed an ad for a sugar daddy.
She received lots of replies
From some rather weird guys.
And I sent her my tea caddy.
There was a young lady called Maddie,

Cottage Pie
A young man named Guy
Offered me some cottage pie
It had stones and window frames.
So I said, “I’ll refrain.
Would you like a shepherd’s eye?”.

“Do you work for the CIA?”,
She said, with a big smile,
“You have such wit and style.
I don’t want to kill you today!”.
