Limericks 61-65
Thumbthings Wrong
The carpenter, Johnathan Plumb,
Lopped off the bulk of his thumb,
“I’ve learned me a lesson,”
He said in confession,
“Don’t saw when you’re swizzlin’ rum.”
Quick Exit
A lady while driving to Stout
Became widowed, poor darling, en route.
While rounding a curve
With incredible nerve,
Sir Henry, her husband, flew out.
An Easy “A”
A professor from Stockton, one day,
To an in-coming student did say,
“If you can prove you can quote
The Koran by rote,
I most likely will give you an ‘A’.
Look at it This Way
A man checking into La View
Felt his room had the smell of a zoo,
The manager said,
“Well, once you’re in bed,
It’s the blast from the trains you will rue.”
Thumbs Down
A boy with a tuba in hand
Tried out for the local school band,
With the notes that he played
Even birds were dismayed
And his tryout was critically panned.
