Pride Goeth Before a Fall

There was a young man from Lancaster
Who tried to do everything faster
He skied off a cliff
Landed on his midriff
And now he’s cemented in plaster

Oh what a horrendous disaster - Ending up cemented in plaster - Don't ski off a cliff - If you want to live - And don’t keep trying to go faster…… Belle

Another fantastic limerick. You are on your way to becoming our resident limericist, Ian. I have thoroughly enjoyed every one you've written so far and looking forward to more. I love them.
