A Lady in Church and Other Rhymes (Limericks # 62)
A Lady in Church
There once was a lady in church,
Who started to sing from a perch;
She’d had too much rye,
Her voice was awry,
The whole church was soon in a lurch.
A Lad from Brisbane
There once was a lad from Brisbane,
Who fell for a gal named Lorraine;
But she had a fancy,
For a gal named Nancy,
So, the fellow’s wooing was in vain.
A Fellow Named Kevin
There once was a fellow named Kevin,
Who wanted to get into heaven;
When he got to the gate,
He was told to wait,
And to count to one hundred and seven.
A Fellow Named Kloot
There once was a fellow named Kloot,
Who played poker with an old coot;
He played so badly,
The event ended sadly,
When he wound up in his birthday suit.
A Fellow Named Ray
There once was a fellow named Ray,
Who always had with him a tray;
He wanted to serve,
In the army reserve,
Even though his hair was all grey.
A Fellow from Canmore
A fellow from the town of Canmore,
Has a wife and also a store;
He spends most of his time,
Trying to make a dime,
Sadly, his wife thinks he’s a bore.
The Frog Hunter
There once was a hunter of frogs,
Who often got lost in the bogs;
He grew tired at last,
Closed his mind to the past,
He is now a tamer of hogs.
A Merchant Named Lionel
There once was a merchant named Lionel,
Who sold below standard vinyl;
When people complained,
That the vinyl was stained,
He reminded them all sales were final.
A Fellow Named Harmer
There once was a fellow named Harmer,
Who wished to be a knight in armour;
He wanted to fight,
Then he saw the light,
And became a successful farmer.
A Lass Named Katie
I once met a lass named Katie,
Who wanted to go to Haiti;
So, I built a raft,
Quite a sturdy craft,
We set off with Katie full of gaiety.

It is so good to have something fun and
Lighthearted to read in these times...
I needed a giggle!
Best wishes,

Takes me back to a time when we used to play on the streets as excited and wondrous young children, and mimic each other with simple limericks..
Where did those days go ?

Sandie :)
earthquake laid Haiti bare.
Bermuda triangle got you bad,
sailed off to nowhere with all that you had.
You are the king of limericks, at least around here. But you know I always like the ones with a bit of sexual innuendo.
