Fairy tales - Limericks
Little Riding Hood
There once was a girl dressed in red,
Who wandered where wolf tracks had spread.
He grinned wide with glee,
Said, “Come closer to me…”
But Grandma hit him with a loaf of bread.
Sleeping Beauty
A princess slept deep in a keep,
While thorns climbed the towers so steep.
A prince tripped in mud,
Arrived covered in crud—
Yet still woke her up from her sleep.
Jack and the Beanstalk
A fellow named Jack climbed the sky,
Past clouds where the cold winds blew high.
He stole golden hens,
Then ran home again—
While the giant yelled, “Come back, you sly guy!”
The Little Mermaid
A mermaid with seashell-blue hair
Traded voice for a prince tall and fair.
Though walking brought pain,
She danced in the rain—
And discovered sea witches play unfair.
Cindrella
Cinderella fled from the hall,
Leaving one little slipper to fall.
The prince searched the land,
Shoe held tight in his hand—
Though her sisters could barely fit all.
The Three Little Pigs
Three pigs built their houses one day:
One of straw, one of sticks, one of clay.
When the wolf huffed around,
Only bricks held their ground—
And the wolf had to dine on soufflé.
Beauty and the Beast
A beauty once lived by a beast
In a castle prepared for a feast.
She looked past his roar,
Found a heart to adore—
And the teacups all danced, quite pleased.
Snow White
Snow White bit an apple so bright,
Then collapsed in dramatic delight.
Seven miners stood near,
Crying into their beer—
Till a prince kissed her back into light.
Aladdin
A lad with a lamp in a cave
Met a genie both flashy and brave.
With three wishes to spend,
He gained riches and friends—
And escaped on a magical wave.
Rapunzel
Rapunzel with hair long and grand
Dropped braids down the side of the land.
A prince climbed too fast,
Lost his balance at last—
And landed headfirst in the sand.
