Animal Humor

There once was a sickly blue jay named blue
He was struggling with the dreaded bird flu
He loved to dance and sing
And a crowd it would bring
Until he " achoo-ed", his fans then flew

There once was a picky beaver named Bob
Always searching to find the perfect log
Chewed many trees as he could,
Toppled piles of rotted wood
Until the huge wood pile dried up his bog

Fred adopted a new cat to kill mice
And thought new cat mouser Sam would suffice
When the first mouse appeared
He saw Sam run off scared
Then he knew why Sam was so cheaply priced

Leroy was a young owl who could not hoot
Luckily he was talented and cute
But at nighttime his new song
Sounded whimsically wrong
When he resorted to playing a flute

A unique group of Limericks. It is hard to write one, but you have had a full run of good ones in these four. I enjoyed reading them. Your visit to my page was uplifting. Sara K

My favorite new friend was a dog, but his bark was a croak of a frog, he tried to be mean, but no-one it seemed, was afraid of his sound in the fog
