LIMERICKS

Featuring the delightful work of 5 poets















In a quaint little town by the sea, Lived a man who was terribly free.

With a twirl of his hat,

And a wink, just like that,

He danced through the waves, full of glee.

TRICKY PROPOSAL


Shiny snail soft slimy squishy

Served as high-end delicacy

Titled escargot

Pretty in pink bow Proposal turned breakup tricky.

There once was a young man called Grey

Who chewed tobacco everyday

He left home at sunrise

And found to his surprise

That his whole mouth was full of hay.

A bee and a wasp were two foes

They fought with their arrows and hoes.

He caught them, the pink fox

And kept in his red socks

The bee and the wasp stung his toes.

Teacher May called Peter's attention

Seeing her tutee's full attention

Of using his cellphone

But he, in murmured tone

Informed of her own phone's vibration.


Peter said he borrowed his Pa's phone

And then he set it to speaker phone

Class heard Teacher May's voice

"Darling, here's the invoice

Of the weekend date, we can't postpone."
