More limerick silliness... ...dedicated to my friend LeeBee.
Limericks XIII
There once was a raccoon named Boone
He really could play a fine tune
On the banjo and guitar
The cello and sitar
He would make all the fine ladies swoon
There’s a dentist in town that’s clueless
In fact he is rather quite ruthless
His patients are scared
And those who have dared
Would much rather have been quite toothless
There once was a crafty old fox
He lived in a large cardboard box
He blended quite well
As a ne’er-do-well
He came from the school of hard knocks
There once was a lady from Spain
Who found joy in being in pain
She loved to be whipped
As her hair was clipped
Not once was she heard to complain
There once was a mover and shaker
He decided to become a baker
He was quite a prude
And so not to be rude
He covered his buns with paper
There once was a teacher of math
Sadly he did not take a bath
His students were pained
But they never complained
They were afraid to incur his wrath
There once was a mad apple picker
He drank a little too much liquor
He fell off his ladder
This just made him madder
Now all he does is bicker
A lad from Tibet named Zack
Wagered me he could ride his yak
He did try indeed
But he did not succeed
Hence the yak in the pack on my back
Katie wanted a rock and roll band
She realized she must sell her land
This she did pronto
To move to Toronto
Now her band is the most in demand
I’ve just met a dolly named Holly
She can easily drive one to folly
She’s vivacious and wise
She will tell you no lies
Yes by golly that Holly’s a dolly
Regis you are very good with rhyme. More excellent limericks. I did write the one but I prefer to write free verse. My rhyming sounds forced more often than not. You have a great talent.
REGIS...! THESE LIMERICKS ARE JUST MARVELOUS...I ENJOYED EVERY ONE! THANKS FOR SHARING THIS AWESOME WORK AND BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS. LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Love & Hugzzz Always

Oh you have me laughing, Regis. Some great limerick
therapy, sweetie. Thank you!
There once was a fella named Reg
The limerick he never would hedge
Bet he'd make a good drummer
Or a Rock 'n Roll strummer
He doesn't mind walking the ledge
LOL! These are some of your best by far, Reg. I especially love the first one (so well-written) and the fifth one (so cute, original and funny), though I loved all of them almost as much. Into my library with these :) Love, Michelle xx
There you go Regis you sure made me laugh out loudly!
I needed that, for laughter is medicine for the heart,
thank you so much for sharing Regis! Blessings!
the mad apple picker is my man, no city slicker, just a big bickerer -- Regis, you have done it again my friend -- introduced some much needed levity into my day -- peace and love be with you -- Jon Michael
Your imagination is positively gymnastic, Regis! I particularly like the baker one which delights my wicked sense of humour: I guess he shut his eyes when he had to shower those buns with the sugar-shaker?! :)) I love your limericks: they make the mind boggle! xx
An evening with Regis. Have you ever thought of going to the pub in Limerick on the annual limerick poetry day. I tink you'd enjoy it, dat is to be sure. I know they'd enjoy having you, just don't go on the lynching night, oh no that's us English that have to miss that small pleasure.
Some are rather aesopesque fable.
Where, oh where is Holly by the way? find her without delay, I been looking since May, I believe she's gone astray, and that's all I will say, oh well, Oley! Blessings Regis! Jasmin Horst
Can empathise with the dentist one...would much rather go toothless than to hear the sound of the drill and feel pain. *cringe* LOL! All are excellent, as always, Regis.
There once was a chap named Reg,
in rhyming circles he was no veg,
writing poems and diddy's became his schtick,
A Dr. of Poetology wss his degree, aka the limerick.
Cheers,
Dan

I'm the mad-apple picker. Great, funny stuff Regis. Take care.

I have a friend named Holly -- who doesn't? ha! -- and I'd like to share your last limerick here with her hubby.
Keep us grinning, chuckling, and laughing. "A merry heart," wrote King Solomon, "does good like a medicine."

Who wrote limericks with much to say.
He licked his pen,
As he rhymed again,
And sent one on its way.
Fun stuff, Reg.
Best regards,
Leland
