There was once was a lovely young bride
She made the groom swell with pride
But once at the altar
Her resolve did falter
She ran off on a one-way bus ride
There once was a man from Lahore
Who went for a walk on the shore
It was night and the moon
Actually made him swoon
Until his wife called him a bore
There’s this gal I know named Cryssie
She can be a little prissy
But don’t get her mad
Or you will be sad
In no way is she a sissy
There once was a fat cat named Pat
He sat on a mat by a vat
He was almost dreaming
When he woke up screaming
At a hat-wearing rat with a gat
I know this young bartender
Who had a fender bender
His boss is a jerk
So he’s lost his work
Now he’s a fender mender
There once was a king named Cole
He climbed up a telephone pole
At the top he exclaimed
I cannot be blamed
For my kingdom’s economic hole
A friend of mine went to the woods
There he met a couple of hoods
They demanded his money
They thought it was funny
Until he showed them the goods
This takes me away to many a day when I was sad and makes me believe things in life get better and better with nonsense sometimes swaying my mind also, and I can relate to a few of these verses here quite well.
Yes you do do these very well. At leaast I can smile once in a while.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie.

And Humpty Dumpty
Feeling a tiny bit funky
Felt a little more stumpy
Looking at his lil' chunky
Hungry and so very grumpy
He cracked his private monkey
On the top of the King’s frumpy
Falling on top of a royal hunky
Made humpty dumpty more frumpy
And all the King's clunky junky
Cracked like a monkey’s spunky punky

More limericks, you definitely have a talent for writing them.
AM
Your third one got me...until I realized that the name was Cryssie, not Cryssa :~). I would love to see you create some limericks about the AD authors. They could really be a hoot! ... Kate being late, etc. hee, hee...
I have to echo Kate's sentiments about your limericks. I always enjoy reading them! You are becoming a master... You notice that none of us dare to tread on your special form. It is kind of funny, in a way, that we all shy away from the limerick form since that is the form they teach elementary aged children. Maybe elementary aged children aren't afraid of thinking up rhyming words...even if they are nonsense words, and most adults are. I just enjoy sitting back and laughing at the wonderful weaving of stories and words. :~)
Kudos,
Cryssa
Seriously, Regis, they just keep getting better and better: sharper, more metrically tight and good substance, too. Not easy within the confines of what such strict form requires. Have you done an "orange"-one yet? It's said that NOTHING rhymes with orange....!!! :)) xx
I was sold by the the climbing king named George W (sorry Cole) and how he messed his America (sorry again, his kingdom) sending it into the deep hole!
Yes, outstanding!
Regis, it has been a while since you shared your limericks with us --I've missed them -- my favorite of this latest offering is most definitely, "The fat cat named Pat" -- he received the rude awakening due him -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael
You are a treasure, friend. These are grand. Cryssie reminds me of the main character in "Taming of the Shrew". Love the King Cole lines. The last limerick cracked me up. Hope your Canada celebration was a good one. We're celebrating ours quietly here. Not as many fireworks this year, for which I'm grateful. Love and Blessings...Lin
"There once was a king named Cole,He climbed up a telephone pole

“Omy Nonsense is fantastic Reg I love them all
but I have a favor the last one
it brought a smile from ear to ear
And still laughing
Wow I am so happy to be able to visit and read
at list today and maybe tomorrow YEAH!!!
Wishing you a safe and Happy 4TH

Regis, mon ami, you are a hoot! LOL Loved all of them; the one that got me tickled was the one about the fender mender! LOL HiLARious, my friend, absolutely hysTERical! LOL Very well penned; bravo!

Happy belated Canada Day; sure was spectacular! (Watched some of the fireworks displays, thanks to YouTube! :) )
You seem to have so much fun with these, Regis. I'm very happy to see you writing again, somewhat regularly. The first one reminds me of the movie 'Runaway Bride'. Hugs,
Sheila
A humorous look at the world and life through my eyes.
Follow the author and his wife, as they travel the world …. several times over.
Laugh at their funny stories, self-inflicted crazy events, strange observations, wacky zoo facts and snippets

And at rhyme, he is a crackerjack!!
Funny or serious, he's our man.
No wonder he has so many fans!!
