Limerick 50

The pelican bard known as Clyde

Composed a love poem for his bride:

“You’ve got a big mouth,

And a wrinkled throat pouch.”

“Why thank you,” she kindly replied.

limerick 49

there once was a planet from hell

on which spock was marooned for a spell;

there a beast, on a whim,

taught the mind-meld to him–

thus he learned of the nerve-pinch as well

Limerick 47

A young porcupine known as Jim

Is always going out on a limb

To become my good friend,

But I know, in the end,

That I’ll never get that close to him

Limerick 46

Beware of my mare named Ol’ Gwen;

She’s mean and she’ll bite your rear end–

If her head starts to dip,

And she curls that lip,

You’d better start running, my friend

limerick 45 (true story)

skittles, the wee orphan fawn,

was looking a little withdrawn,

but deer season came

and she ain’t been the same

since she had a bright collar put on

Limerick 44

There once was a partridge named Dwight

Who would always stand guard at first light;

To observe the whole flock,

He would climb a big rock–

For there wasn’t a pear tree in sight

Limerick 43

It looks quite benign at first glance
But a bog is a deadly expanse–
If you step off the deck
You’ll be up to your neck
In a carpet of meat-eating plants

Limerick 42

A vixen from outside Fort Knox,

Found her marriage to be on the rocks,

But she would recover

And find a new lover,

For after all, she was a fox.

Limerick 41

A self conscious frog known as Clyde

Had never once seen his backside,

So he asked his mate Clare,

“How’s my camo back there?”

“I think it’s spot on,” she replied.

Limerick 40

A timid young turtle named Nell

Was told she was ugly as hell,

And it hurt her inside

For her friends had all lied–

And now, she stays home in her shell
