Limericks with a difference
|

At first I didn �t get Les �s limerick, but after a second look I thought it was so clever. Anyone else care to write some limericks like Les �s? Here �s his.
There was a young Girl from Dundee,
Who was stung on the Nose by a Wasp;
To prevent an Infection,
She was given an Aspirin,
And advised to drink lots of Tomato Juice.
A gourmet dining at Crewe
Found a rather large mouse in his spaghetti
Said the waiter, "Don �t shout
And wave it around,
Or the rest will be wanting one, also."
If you are not sure of what to do, change the words in bold to make it rhyme as it should.

Is this too easy or am I too smart? (LOL)
There was a young Girl from Dundee,
Who was stung on the Nose by a Bee;
To prevent an Infection,
She was given an Injection,
And advised to drink lots of Tea.
A gourmet dining at Crewe
Found a rather large mouse in his stew
Said the waiter, "Don �t shout
And wave it aside,
(Does this make sense?)
Or the rest will be wanting one, fried! ."

I once had a Blue Porcupine,
Which consumed Six Glasses of Wine:
Whilst dancing a New Step,
It jived out the Blues-Step,
Whose Rhythm was simply Divine. |

One ,two, three
I once cut a tree
which fell on my toe
And I shouted: oh!oh!oh!
Why did you do that to me?
I am not sure it follows the rules! Can anyone tell me?

It has the right rhyme scheme, Mariethe, but the first two lines are not long enough to be a true limerick. Bruce |

A cat sat on a mat,
above flew a black gnat.
�What a lovely lunch �, it pumped,
�no way I will catch it �, she thumped.
So the gnad and the cat never fret.
(bat, jumped, met)
It is not a proper limerick, but I don�t car. It was fun writing it...

Almost perfect, Mariethe,
Here �s another Limerick with a Difference:
A Gentleman dining at York,
Ordered Carrots and Peas with his Beef:
But the Waiter said, �Please,
�Do not order the Carrots;
�You will find they don�t stay on the Knife�
Here is the rhythm and rhyme for a Limerick, (although the length of the lines sometimes varies).
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, X:
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, X:
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Y;
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Y;
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, X.

There was a young lad from Killkenny, who never seemed to be short of a penny; he was a little too tight, for if you asked him outright, he always said he didn �t have any.
There was a young lady named Greer, who was much too fond of a beer; her first name was Nelly, she grew such a big belly, she turned into a blimp from Goodyear. |
