A Gal Named Shirley

 
I once met a gal named Shirley,
Who always got up much too early;
She did not need a clock,
At the crow of the cock,
She was off which made me quite surly.

A Fisherman Named Mike

A local fisherman named Mike,
Hooked into a very large pike;
His line was too strong,
The pike pulled him along,
And Mike and the pike wound up in Thorndike.

 
A Lady Named McBain 
 
A cantankerous old lady named McBain,
Rapped me on the head with her cane;
When I objected,
She completely rejected,
My objections that were all in vain.

 
A Healer from Canmore 
 
A lady I know from Canmore,
Is well-versed in the folklore of yore;
She cures all my aches,
With venom from snakes,
Furthermore, she’s never a bore.

 
A Lady from Blaine
 
There once was a lady from Blaine,
Who was anything but plain;
She had bright blue hair,
Which she wore with flair,
At times she could be rather vain.
 
A Gal Named Shauna
 
I once met a gal named Shauna,
Oddly, it was in a sauna;
We had a nice talk,
And she did not balk,
As we discussed flora and fauna.
 
 
A Fellow Named Todd 
 
There once was a fellow named Todd,
Who was odd and claimed to be a god;
He called forth the rain,
Tried to stop a train,
His remains show that he was a fraud.
 
 
A Fellow Named Bryce 
 
There once was a fellow named Bryce,
Who had a great fondness for mice;
He kept them in cages,
And fed them their wages,
In the form of many grains of rice.

A Lady and her Telephone Booth 
 
There once was a lady named Ruth,
Who ran her own telephone booth;
She charged a dollar,
To every caller,
But twice that if they were uncouth.

 
A Would-Be Bridegroom 
 
A man was looking for a bride,
He decided to take a long ride;
He came into town,
In a velvet gown,
And everyone thought he was fried.

The sign implored "Drink Canada Dry."

Your limericks are always a joy to read… Even if some of them don't make any sense.

As I recall, limericks should be a bit baudy.

Great fun here. Keep 'em coming.

There once was poet named Aulfray,
whose limericks were fun to say.
He writes them a lot.
They do hit the spot.
With words, Regis sure has a way.
