Poetry Pleases: Limericks
In need of being cheered up? Here are five limericks by Mike Eastwood which should do the trick.
A U3A member of note
Won lots of cash on the tote
The horse that she backed
Well it finished all whacked
And was shot by popular vote
*
I went to the doctors today
It’s not a very long way
I really felt ill
So he gave me a pill
And now all the pain's gone away
*
There was a young lady from Kent
Who gave up eating for Lent
She lost so much weight
She couldn’t think straight
And instead of coming she went
*
A good way to punish a child
Is to make them think you are wild
You threaten to strike
And lock up their bike
Until you become reconciled
*
A farmer who raised cattle and wheat
Rode a cow up the road for a treat
But the cow was a bull
So he rode it to Hull
And the animal died of sore feet
