The first two limericks I posted the other day but Sara Kendrick requested that I write a sequel so added four more, I've included the two from the other day should you wish to read it in its entirety. Bank robber Jim was one unlucky bloke Went to draw his gun but the holster broke It dropped on the bank floor And went off with a roar The shock was too much and he had a stroke... Though he was unconscious he hadn't died Woke in a coffin for his final ride In a desparate bid Banged on the coffin lid But all he could hear was laughing outside... Written on 17th June 2021 Then someone shouted can you hear banging It was quite faint because folks were singing The sheriff prised off the lid And he was so glad he did Because he thought we'll have us a hanging... Jim didn't know whether to laugh or cry Resigned himself to the fact that he'd die Saw sheriff holding a rope Realised there was no hope And for unlucky Jim the end was nigh... He was taken to the gallows in town Handcuffed and wearing nothing but a frown Jim was then starting to choke But with the drop the rope broke The crowd screamed as poor Jim came tumbling down.. Unlucky Jim jumped up quick as a flash As he passed the bank ran in and grabbed cash He stole the first horse he saw Then let out a loud yee haw And for sweet freedom he made a quick dash...
