December Humour

THE SAILOR

There was a young sailor from Rothesay
Sailed his yacht around the bay of Biscay
But a storm sunk his boat 
He's no longer afloat
And the wind blew his life raft away... 

EDWARD GUMP

A parachutist called Edward Gump
Went up in a plane to do a jump
The ripcord got stuck
He said "just my luck" 
Hit the ground with one helluva bump... 

FREDDIE

Did you hear about old Freddie O'Toole 
Considered to be a bit of a fool
Hee waznt two brite
Cudent reed ur rite
That is what happens when you bunk off school..

ICELAND

Now Iceland has some unusual sights 
 P*n*s. museum and the northern lights
The museum for the bold
The lights a sight to behold 
Which ever you choose enjoy their delights... 

TOO MANY TO MENTION

Old father time moves too quickly I fear
I hope you all have plenty of good cheer 
Whatever you do
I'd like to wish you
Merry Christmas and a happy new year... 


Iceland has a museum dedicated to the male anatomy,
mainly animals but a man in the U. S. is donating his 
manhood when his time is up.

LOL No need to ask which part of his anatomy the man is donating. I always enjoy your limericks, Tom. I think "Freddie" is my favorite. All are funny. Thanks for the entertainment. Happy New Year to you! Hugs, Carolyn

An anthology of brilliant Limericks that should put in the Limericks' hall of fame dear, Tom. That is the best way to say goodbye to the old year! Hahaha!
