Limerick Picnic
There was a young man named Paul
Who went to a fancy dress ball;
He thought he would risk it
And go as a biscuit -
But a dog ate him up in the hall!
An epicure dining at Crewe
Found quite a large mouse in the stew;
Said the waiter, "Don't shout
And wave it about,
Or the rest will be wanting one too!"
There was an old gent quite weird -
He shrieked, " 'Tis just as I feared!
Two owls and a hen,
Four larks and a wren
Have all built their nests in my beard!"
A silly young man from the Clyde
In a funeral carriage was spied;
When asked, "Who is dead?"
He snickered and said,
"I don't know - I just came for the ride."
There was an old man of St. Bees
Who was stung in the arm by a wasp;
When asked, "Does it hurt?"
He replied, "No, it doesn't;
I'm so glad that it wasn't a hornet!"
There was a young man of Fort Worth
Who was born on the day of his birth;
He was married, some say,
On his wife's wedding day,
And he died when he quitted the earth.
There was an old man of Blackheath
Who sat on his set of false teeth;
He cried, with a start,
"Oh, Lord bless my heart!
I've bitten myself underneath!"
A tutor who tooted a flute
Tried to teach two young tooters to toot,
Said the two to the tutor,
"Is it harder to toot, or
To tutor two tooters to toot?"
