Twas such bliss
Her kiss
So sweet and soft
As we lay
In the hayloft.
Then the devil coughed
And I heard him say
“Apologies, I have terrible hay fever today …”.

There Was A Young Lady Called Jill

Who owned a dog named Bill.
While in her local pub
He ate all the grub
And Jill she paid the bill!
There Was A Young Man Called Dave

Who slept on a weathered old grave.
Late at night
Much to the ghost’s delight
Dave would rant and rave!
Everyone Has Their Thing
Alert: Risque humour below:
Everyone has their thing
Or most people do,
Whether it be a high-heel shoe
Or string,
Most people have their thing.
Alert!
The prim secretary, in her conservative skirt
And the sober executive, in his crisp white shirt,
All have their kink,
The chains that clink,
The Fluffy handcuff
And other such stuff.
Yes I think
That everyone has their kink.
But it simply won’t do
To dwell on the stiletto shoe
For I am a bore
And my thoughts are pure.
There Was A Young Lady Called Louise

Who stole a set of keys.
On unlocking the bedroom door
Of a man named Moor
She found that he could tease …

Married a young lady named Kim.
His verse was terse
And grew steadily worse
But the critics all loved Kim!
There Once Was A Poet Called Prout

That it drove people mad
And his wife, she threw him out!
There Was A Young Lady Called Sky

Who I have never seen.
She has a tattoo in a hidden place
And a very pretty face,
But I’ve never seen Irene.
National Limerick Day
Today (May 12th) is National Limerick Day, which is celebrated in honour of the English writer of limericks and nonsense verse, Edward Lear. You can learn about National Limerick Day here https://nationaldaycalendar.com/days-2/national-limerick-day-may-12/. In honour of National Limerick Day I have composed 2 limericks in honour of Lear:
There was an elderly man called Lear
Who drank 10 pints of beer.
“To drink is such a bore”,
He said with a snore.
“And I’ve been dead for many a year!”.
There once was a poet called Lear
For whom I shed a tear.
‘Twas his curse
To write nonsense verse
But he made the world less drear!
