Limerick thread ....

From Cuba Del Norte comes Hoyt

Who built himself a cata boyt

With much repartee

Though is quite farty

And with Google Translate-adroit.

There was an old man of Dundee,
who molested an ape in a tree
The result was quite horrid,
all arse and no forehead,
three balls and a purple goatee.

There is a great Han in Vancouver, whose boats are built to be truer.
He builds them with care, for the brave hearts who dare,
To go boating where the orcas will ruin your.

Thank you, but I can't build a dog house in which any self respecting dog would want to sleep in.

And of course there are the classics....

There was an old man from Nantucket,
Who kept all his cash in a bucket;
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man,
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.


But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,
The man and the girl with the bucket;
And he said to the man,
He was welcome to Nan,
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.


Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset,
Where he still held the cash as an asset,
But Nan and the man
Stole the money and ran,
And as for the bucket, Manhasset.

But it all ended as it began
With them all back in Asharoken.
The man hid the loot,
said to Nan "paw cain't shoot"
She said "he cain't, but Asharoken."

 

[Milehog]

There was a young sailor names Gates
Who boarded his schooner on skates
He slipped on his cutlass
Which rendered him nutless
And also quite useless on dates

 

[troy2000]

But it all ended as it began
With them all back in Asharoken.
The man hid the loot,
said to Nan "paw cain't shoot"
She said "he cain't, but Asharoken."

I always wondered how that got resolved in the end...

OK, it's true that I lied.
But you have to admit that I tried.
My rhymes may not be smooth,
Not always squared with the truth,
But they go well with gin and vermouth.
