There Once Was a Farmer

A no rules barred Limerick . . . THERE ONCE WAS A FARMER . . . There once was a farmer called Mr Brown Who with his duck in tow went off to town The duck panicked and quacked all the way The farmer had his fill and left the duck in the dray Then disappeared into the Rose & Crown There once was a duck left in the dray Who settled down nicely in the hay Then farmer Brown he did returned To the noisy duck he had spurned The duck had three golden eggs lay The now inebriated farmer Brown was elated On his newly found wealth he then debated The duck was relieved in more ways than one Otherwise off to the market she was gone Thinking of her fate had he not waited There once was a farmer Brown and his duck Who both could not believe their newfound luck Farmer Brown on himself a new tractor did spend And the amazing duck got herself a brand new pen Not strung up with her feathers ready to pluck Indiana Shaw . . . ; ) Inspired by poet "Kevin Shaw" and his daft poems . . . : )
