Limericks 41-45
Patriotic Stoicism
Sir Henry was savagely bitten
While playing a game of badminton,
“Though the pain is severe
I shall play on with cheer,
For we don’t show our pain in Great Britain.”
Off Course
A golfer while playing at Leeds
Shot his ball in a thicket of weeds,
He whacked it and thwacked it
And fairly well hacked it,
And ruined his best pair of tweeds.
Dual Purpose
A man who was picking up poop
Was annoyed by the size of the scoop,
“This scoop is so small
It works hardly at all,
But it still is just right for my soup.”
Carried Away
A swimmer, one time, from Aruba
Went swimming intending to scuba,
But an outgoing tide
Then gave him a ride,
His residence now is Cuba.
Not For Consumption
A kazoo of the finest gauge tin
Was a gift to the king of Yemen,
But the king didn’t know
That the thing was to blow,
And swallowed it whole with a grin.
