A Limerick for you.

     THE NOSEY OLD LADY

 

The nosey old lady was drunk . . .

At the zoo, she learned more than she thunk..

She showed no fear,

Pinched an elephant’s ear,                         

And he snorted her up his trunk.

Oh, no! A hair!

    A HIRSUTE HORROR

 

Long hair is definitely in

But not when it’s on my chin

Although this one curls

It’s not good on girls

So of course, it causes chagrin

What’s one more?

    STANDING ROOM ONLY

 

At the party, the sign on the door

Said, “We Can’t Accommodate More”

But a lummox still tried

So the Hostess replied,

“Well, I guess there’s room for one bore”

How to cook a pizza!

CULINARY CATASTROPHE

The house filled with smoke

We all feared we’d choke

She’d baked the darn thing upside down

Written for good friend, Alice Kordich, after

     she did this twice.

A Limerick for your morning

        PARENTAL ABUSE

 

Poor Mother was out of their league

When the kids were bent on intrigue

She broke into tears

And covered her ears

Suffering from tattle fatigue
