Some Fairytales - Limericks

       Humpty-Dumpty wanted ride on road side view.
     All the king’s horses were standing in a queue.
                     Humpty-Dumpty chose one,
                     In the last race that won.
    All the king’s cats and kittens started calling mew-mew.

     Jubilant Jack Frost wearing thin torn jacket
        stepped on snow descending from a rocket.
                  chewed snow balls from a jug.
                   Sister Jill gave him hug.
        Jack pushed Jill to snatch her snow ball locket.    

     
         On way Red Riding Hood met a wolf in white dress
           wearing shiny soft woolly shoes with white lace.
                  Wonderful wolf named Wow-Wow
                  nodded its head and made bow.
        Nice compassionate wolf tried to impress.

      Alice was was wandering in wonderland 
       Weird happenstances ! Do you understand ?
            She entered rabbit - hole
             to slide and roll and roll.
    She met rabbit to dance delight hand in hand.


  Black Sheep peeps pushing bush beside pool,
  when little boy is on his way to school.
           Sheep eats green grass
           always in huge mass.
  It makes no wool but makes the boy fool.
