Notes About The Poem

Inspired by Tom Cunningham's epic slates of limericks, here's a mini-slate for Friday...

Three Limericks For Friday

CHANGE YOUR NAME, CHANGE YOUR LUCK
      There once was a chicken who had no luck
      No matter how she tried she couldn't cluck
         Brunhilde, her name
         To Donald, she changed
      Now she's a chicken who quacks like a duck


IN HIS SOUP WAS A FLY
      There was a poor man, in his soup was a fly
      He just couldn't get that fly to go bye
         Turned his bowl upside down      
         The fly spilled to the ground
      Now the soup is too cold, the poor man cried


HE DID NOTHING BUT YAMMER
      Pam had a husband named Peter Hammer
      All day long he did nothing but yammer
         Into his corn pone
         She put little stones
      He talks less, but when he does, he stammers
