Six Limericks'

A romantic young man from Sherwood Bought a ring for his girl and felt good He left it on the bus Air was blue with his cuss Chased after it as fast as he could. A chocolate lover from Bangalore Couldn't get enough and wanted more She had a big belly Wobbled like a jelly Now she cannot get out the front door. There was a man who got into a lift Someone before him had left him a gift He gagged and he spluttered Under his breath muttered Got to his floor and oh boy did he shift. A Dutchman was wearing new clogs Got chased by some mean looking dogs But he could not out run They chewed his clogs for fun And now they look like splintered logs. A pilot was flying in the sky Heard both his engines splutter and die He'd ran out of fuel And he felt a fool The moral is fill up 'fore you fly. On her birthday told hubby don't be late And with him she wanted to celebrate With good food and some wine A posh place they would dine He forgot and went drinking with a mate. Written 17th January 2019.

Thank you Janet, love a bit of humour. Thank you also for the other comment on the Colleen Bawn. It went in the wrong box for some reason. Tom.

Don't ask me why but this reminded me of my childhood while going to the circus in town after school.
