Tom Cunningham Poet Limerick

Another Five

THE ARTIST 

An artist from the city of Rangoon
Wanted to paint the crater's of the moon 
Packed canvas, brush and paint
Told his wife who did faint
Then he took off in a hot air balloon.

THE SCIENTIST

A bright scientist who worked at the zoo
Thought in genetics he'd make a breakthrough
Mixed some bovine
With some feline
And now all the lions at the zoo roar moo.

CLIFF

A young butcher from New York called Cliff
Checked cold storage cos of a strong whiff
He then opened the lock
Forgot to use the chock
The next morning they found him quite stiff.

THE SHERIFF

Then there was the old sheriff of SouthPaw
Went up the hills to arrest an outlaw
It wasn't the sheriff's day
Cos the baddie got away
Shouted" up yours old sheriff and yee haw".

FREDDY

A womaniser called Freddy from Fife
Was caught out by his long suffering wife
Of course he denied
"You liar" she cried 
And while he slept took  revenge with a knife.

Alexis Y. July 7, 2019 at 12:02 PM Hi Tom, You've penned another string of good limericks. However, Cliff and Freddy didn't get their happy ending. I don't know if you've done it already but you should write a book of limericks :-) Alexis Tom Cunningham July 8, 2019 at 1:33 AM Thanks Alexis, never occurred to me to to do that but now you've put the idea in my head lol. Tom

Jennifer Proxenos July 7, 2019 at 11:43 AM All are great , but the one I liked best is the Scientist one - well penned Tom - good to LOL before a Monday! Blessings and poetry hugs, Jennifer. Tom Cunningham July 8, 2019 at 1:31 AM Thank you Jennifer, won't be long before these crazy scientists come up with things like this. Tom

Andrea Dietrich July 6, 2019 at 7:02 PM you should arrange them by themes, Tom. For example, the ones on jobs such as scientist and sherrif with other worker type limericks! Tom Cunningham July 7, 2019 at 1:55 AM That's an idea that's worth putting into practise. Thank you. Tom

Andrea Dietrich July 6, 2019 at 7:01 PM Much awesomeness AGAIN. this time I had favorites: the scientist and the sherrif gave me a chuckle. But they are ALL good. Tom Cunningham July 7, 2019 at 1:54 AM Thank you Andrea, happy you liked them. Tom.
