Limerick Contest

LIMERICK CONTEST The Tale of Clairvoyant Grey There was a young clairvoyant named Grey Who said, “I see I shall garden today.” Then he went out in a rush, And fell in a bush. That unfortunate clairvoyant named Grey. That unfortunate young seer named Grey Said, “I see I’ll avoid bushes today.” But he got in a muddle And fell in a puddle, That incompetent clairvoyant named Grey. That incompetent young seer named Grey Said, “I shall give up clairvoyance today.” But, not looking ahead, On a spider did tread And expired that very same day.
