Kim Shaw Poet Limerick

Eight Merry Maids of Montrose

The eight merry maids of Montrose
Quite vexed that they can't touch their toes

began a regime
they worked as a team

but by Fall could just touch their nose


Discouraged they wept and just sat
Why couldn't they trim all that fat?

the plan was supreme
they all had a dream

Their plan was to eat cake and chat !
