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. Written on 9th January 2019.
