Tom Cunningham Poet Limerick

Five Limericks Part Two

Inspired by Joseph Mays Limerick 11 contest
and a bonus one.

NOT FOR CONTEST

................................................................


A randy old dentist called Keith 
Drugged patients and played with their feet
Sucked the toe of a marine
Who then woke up looking mean
Now poor Keith no longer has teeth .

A dashing lawyer who was good at his job
But was only because of his big gob
He got a man ten years
Then he broke down in tears
He found out he was the head of the mob.

There was once a barber from Zaire
Who in life just didn't give a care
In his chair a man sat
Knocked him out with a bat
Stripped him off and shaved off all his hair .

A doctor who was always in a hurry
Got called out to a farm for Mrs Murray 
She was pale and quite ill
So he gave her a pill 
Then rushed off and fell face down in cows slurry.

There was once a mean sponsor called X
He decided soup members he'd vex
Gave them all an N/A
They cried out in dismay
He was sent via soupmail a hex.
