Limericks 1-5
Belated Fame
A professor of English once said,
“If you want your works eagerly read,
You should put them aside
Until you have died,
And publish them after you’re dead.”
A Little Respect, Please
A lady engaged in a bath
Was annoyed by a peeping giraffe,
It wasn’t the look
That got her so shook,
But the fact that it started to laugh.
Wishful Thinking
A lady from upper O’Gallah
Aspired to sing at LaScallah,
Yet the tone of her voice
Left her no choice
But to auction off cows in Nevadah.
Tent-ative Plan
A tailor when asked to invent
A gown for the Duchess of Kent,
Said, “I hope you don’t find
That I’m being unkind
If I simply refashion a tent.”
Shoo-fly Pie
A baker who swatted at flies
Kept missing on all of his tries,
“I’m really upset,”
He said in a sweat,
“What now will I put in my pies?”
