Notes About The Poem

Here are three mid-week limericks to gnaw on...

Three Little Limericks

~ Room Service ~

  There once was a bat, flew straight out of Hell
  Who landed on the Farmer in the Dell -- 
      Farmer got nervous
      Called Room Service, said -- 
   "Hey, I ordered my bird medium-well!" 



             ~ Funky Grasshopper ~

    There was a funky grasshopper so quick
     He once jumped to Africa in a lick -- 
        He heard a lion
        Thought he'd be dyin' -- 
     Got malaria ~ poor lion got sick!  



               ~ Super-uptight ~ 

  An upside-down-cake was once baked upright
  The chef became anxious, super-uptight -- 
    He added a joint
    And more to the point --
 Guests ate the cake and got high as a kite!
