Godiva’s just come into town,
She seems to have forgotten her gown.
She’s drawn quite a crowd,
She seems rather proud,
On her head she is wearing a crown.
I’ve met a fine gal named Cherie,
I’ve risen in love in a hurry.
She’s the finest of nurses,
She does not rob purses,
So I’ll take her for a ride in a surrey.
This fellow I know named Bayrock,
In the church he sang, “I Am a Rock.”
Distracted by the chicks,
He forgot the lyrics,
And thus sent the pastor into shock.
In this town there’s a kitty named Glee,
She is not the one to cop a plea.
She’s a fancy pussy,
Though a little fussy,
On her you’ll not find a flea.
Mr. Sloth is a lazy fellow,
He likes to keep things quite mellow.
With never a frown,
He sleeps upside down,
He never has need of a pillow.
There once was a hedgehog name Spike,
He’d often go for a hike.
He walked quite quickly,
Was never sickly,
He would often be seen on his bike.
There once was a monkey named Chimp,
He would walk with a bit of a limp.
He was fond of food,
And when in the mood,
He would order a large plate of shrimp.
Doctor Quack was a family physician.
He assigned himself a mission.
His patients grew rare,
It became quite clear,
Doctor Quack should have been a mortician.
A stockbroker of local renown,
On his face always wears a frown.
Although nicely dressed,
He’s constantly stressed,
He’s worried that his stocks might go down.
I once met a man with a horse,
He said he was part of “The Force.”
“You must know the one,
It’s the one that won…”
I nodded though I knew nothing of course.
WoW! I haven't been on AD for a long time so reading this was such a treat! I laughed my head off! Thanks Regis truly enjoyed it. Much blessings!

THE PICTURE...! EVEN BEFORE I BEGAN READING I WAS LAUGHING OUT LOUD. YOU SET THE STAGE BEAUTIFULLY, THEN I GOBBLED UP YOUR WORDS AND...ALL I CAN SAY IS 'YOU' ARE NEVER A DISSAPOINTMENT...I 'ALWAYS' ENJOY YOUR WORK AND THERE IS SOMETHING ESPECIALLY APPEALING ABOUT YOUR LIMERICKS! THANKS FOR SHARING AND MUCH LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
Reg, you are still your charming old self,
And a bit of a Santa Claus Elf..
Always happy and helping to bring out the joy
Of sheer reading pleasure for each good girl and boy
Who takes down the Limericks on the shelf!
This was a bit of pure delight! You always have a way of reaching into the distant places, Regis.. and today, you reminded me of my beloved Doctor-Papa.. he was a medical doctor for 50 years before he passed away in 1991 of lung cancer. He still sat on the Board of Ethics when he passed.. but he also had a bedside manner that blessed everyone.. and he did it through jokes.. and limericks! He had a different one for every day of the year!
Thank You for the enjoyable visit!
Love and Many Blessings to you always, dear man.

Love the one on Mr Sloth, a fabulous being that 's perfect for this kind of absurdist sense of humor. The rhythm of that strophe is great too. And that Doctor Quack makes me think of someone I know, but shhh!
Such truisms in stockbroker and LOVE Quack... he and Croak should have gone into the undertaking business together, hiding among the lilies....!! Go... Regis!! :)) xx
Regis, limping shrimp eating chimps are a rare breed -- but then so are bike riding hedgehogs -- I like inane verse it keeps my spirits high -- thanks for sharing your limericks so daring with me my dear friend -- I bid you joy love and peace -- Jon Michael

Funny one! A funny poem but somewhat true! This one hit's home, "A stockbroker of local renown,
On his face always wears a frown.
Although nicely dressed,
He’s constantly stressed,
He’s worried that his stocks might go down.
Go Regis! Bravo!
Deputy Dave Jenkins sets out to find the murderer of the local high school principal, aided by a voice from the grave that is sometimes helpful and sometimes misleading.
