Tom Cunningham Poet Limerick

A Bit of Humour For the Weekend

STACE

A  girl runner by the name of Stace
Ran the annual marathon race
near the end of the run
Both laces come undone
She stumbled and fell flat on her face.

OLD SAILOR

An old sailor was out on the ocean
It was choppy and he felt a motion
Had some curry last night
But the taste wasn't right
Down below felt a muffled explosion.

SUE   ROSE                  

A young lady by the name of Sue Rose 
Hoped that a man to her would propose 
Couldn't understand why
All the men were so shy
Then in the mirror saw hairs in her nose.

ABDUL

Bush safari went Abdul with eight wives 
Parked on a hillside for lunch to eat chives
Then to their dismay
Their jeep rolled away
Heard lions roaring and ran for their lives.

BLACK  BILL

An undertaker in Dodge called Black Bill
To boost his business people he would kill
But one man wasn't dead 
Shot Black Bill in the head
Now in a grave he lies up at Boot Hill.

FREDERICK STARK

A skinny dipper called Frederick Stark
Went for a swim in the sea, it was dark
Da Dum he could hear
It filled him with fear
Then in moonlight saw the fin of a shark.

JOCK

A Scotchman who was known as Big Jock
Went out walking one day by the Loch
A gust of wind blew
And up his kilt flew 
Some passing girls were left in deep shock.
