Limerick #18: There was an Old Man who loved to drink beer

 

There was an Old Man who loved to drink beer,

And he kept kegs and kegs of it in his cellar,

But a mouse became an intemperate dweller,

So he made the thirsty mouse disappear,

This Old Man who loved to drink beer.

Limerick #17: My Valentine

Limerick #17: There once was a Young Lady from Palestine

 

There once was a Young Lady from Palestine

Who set her heart on exploring outer space,

So she kept little rocket ships every place,

And flew them around her room rain or shine,

This Young rocket ship Lady from Palestine.

 

 

 

 

 

Limerick #16

Limerick #16: There once was a Young Man from Prague

There once was a Young Man from Prague

Who didn’t care a tinker’s damn for pasta,

Or to read books by Rilke or Kafka,

But he liked to imbibe good grog

When he was walking in the fog.

Limerick #15

Limerick #15: There was a Young Lady from Qatar

There was a Young Lady from Qatar

Who didn’t care for petroleum or gold,

Though she had more of both than the world could hold,

So she smoked almost any cigar,

This Young Lady from Qatar.

 

 

 

Limerick #14

Limerick #14: There was an Old Man from Colorado

 

There was an Old Man from Colorado

Who dearly loved to fish for river trout,

And he knew what this life was all about,

So he moved to El Dorado,

And lived inside of God’s Shadow.

 

SUPER BOWL LIMERICKS #1 & #2

Super Bowl Limerick #1: I knew this beautiful Young Lady from Baltimore

I knew this beautiful Young Lady from Baltimore,

And she was a fine maven

Who kept a gloomy raven

That yearned for a paramour,

But he only had this Young Lady from Baltimore.

Super Bowl Limerick #2: I knew this handsome Young Man from San Francisco

I knew this handsome Young Man from San Francisco

Who had good employment as a gold miner,

So he liked to be known as a forty-niner,

But he preferred to work in a gay disco,

This handsome Young Man from San Francisco.

 

VACATION

 

I’ll buy blue, blue diamonds

And red, red rubies.

I will cover my spaceship with them.

I will fly around this universe,

And search for more blue, blue diamonds,

And more red, red rubies.

When I think I’m done

I’ll find more,

And cover this universe

With blue, blue diamonds

 And red, red rubies.

I’ll cover more universes

With blue, blue diamonds

And red, red rubies

Until I die.

 

 

Limerick #13

Limerick #13: There was a Young Lady from Philadelphia

[Written while listening to Bob Dylan’s acoustic version of Desolation Row]

 

There was a Young Lady from Philadelphia,

Who betimes looked into rivers,

And thought about unkind givers;

This young maiden’s name was Ophelia,

And she hailed from Philadelphia.
