A Bit of Humour For Sunday

SIR CONRAD The great explorer Sir Conrad Justine Disappeared and was never again seen Got too near the edge Slipped on the ledge Fell two thousand feet in to a ravine... JIMMY A bottle Jimmy found at the roadside Drank it all and was lucky he survived Didn't read the label Was drunk wasn't able It wasn't whiskey but neat pesticide... FRANK Old Frank went for a ride on a rickshaw To visit the ancient sights at Mingtaw Was having a good day Until the seat gave way His rear dragged on the ground till it was raw... BO PEEP A Shepherd girl called little bo peep Was so drunk that she soon fell asleep But it wasn't her day She woke up in dismay The wolves had eaten all of her sheep... PETE In a rain coat was the flasher called Pete He loved flashing all his bits in the street Girls said its too lame So Pete upped his game He bought a strapon that hangs to his feet... JOHN BECK A sexy stud by the name of John Beck Below had trouble cried out flipping heck He took some blue pills To give girls their thrills But all it did was give him a stiff neck... Written 14 September 2019.

I always like to tell you which ones I like best. This time it's 'Frank' and 'John Beck.' May the 'Limerick Force' continue to be with you, Tom! ~ Obe Wan Gershonobe

You're probably right John, on a seriously note many have fallen to their deaths trying to get the ultimate selfie. Tom
