A Nun on the Run and other Tales...
A nun in search of some fun,
Has gotten hold of a gun;
She’s held up the bank,
In the town of Frank,
She’s a nun with a gun on the run.
There once was a fellow named Dino,
Who went to gamble in Reno;
But the die was cast,
And his luck did not last,
When he had a bit too much vino.
There once was a lady named Claire,
Who thought that she had much flair;
She was rather bold,
She wore dresses of gold,
But sadly birds nested in her hair.
There once was a fellow named Jake,
Who thought he was Sir Francis Drake;
So he built a ship,
To prove his seamanship,
But folks thought he’d had too much fruitcake.
There once was a sports star named Maury,
Who loved to bask in his glory;
But there came a day,
When he could not play,
His glory was gone and he was sorry.
There once was a gal from Tibet,
Who borrowed so she could place a bet;
When she won a yak,
She sold it right back,
In order to pay off her debt.
A lady in the city of Rome,
Sells tonic from inside her home;
She claims it grows hair,
But all those who dare,
Are left with a shiny chrome dome.
There once was miserly man,
Who kept all of his wealth in a can;
One day thieves broke in,
They made off with his tin,
And vanished with his can in a van.
There once was a lass named Tiffany,
Who one day had an epiphany;
Although still in her youth,
In this moment of truth,
She ran off to join a symphony.
In Ottawa the senators sit,
Perhaps they should learn how to knit;
They doze in their chairs,
Like hibernating bears,
We’d all be better off if they'd quit.

U Saved the BEST 4 last:
"In Ottawa the senators sit,
Perhaps they should learn how to knit;
They doze in their chairs,
Like hibernating bears,
We’d all be better off if they'd quit."
We could change "Ottawa" to "Washington" and the poem would still be a hit!
Peace, love, and multiple blessings my friend,
John Michael
you really know how to have fun
you make a man grin
and that ain't no sin
You're a limerick-son-of-a-gun!
I can get em rolling but I can't make em rock like you can!
Roger

If he had a boat he'd be sure to row it.
He writes limericks with a classical flair.
While his head is lamenting no hair.
If you asked him he'd let you know it.
Well done old friend... <(")
She couldn't keep it in Houston very near.
She up and sold that fine beef like a thief,
even knowing that it had no peer.
It's great to see your limericks again.
Ron
Love ya!
Jane
On vacations they often will be.
Flying around on taxpayer jets,
Taking friends to see the mets,
At taxpayers expense, so less dollars we see.
Anna
Glad to hear your limericks after such a long period.....
My best, neerja
My best, Micki
Cheers,

Clever as usual, Regis. You must have some Irish blood in you. Although, as for the senators, I think we'd all be better off if they just kept hibernating. As Thomas Jefferson said, "The government that governs least; governs best."
Cheers!

Sounds like what we got down here, Regis. There should be term limits, and a few other things that would attract honest, hard working people who want to serve their country.
