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...

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

Sir Conrad was probably taking a selfie

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