Winters End Humour

JED.

Jed the horse thief was a bit of a dope
Stole a pretty horse and tried to elope
Folk declared him a horse thief
And for giving them much grief
They dangled him at the end of a rope...

PADDY O'HARE.

A deep sea diver called Paddy O'Hare
Was on the sea bed without any care
His watch he forgot to check
Coughed and said" oh flippin heck"
Never surfaced cos he ran out of air...

BARTHOLOMEW LOTT.

The great explorer Bartholomew Lott
Was in the jungle with Jimmy the Scot
Cannibal's came in the night
They both put up a great fight
But were outnumbered and put in a pot...

FRED.

Fred tried to run away with his lover
Was caught in the act by his dear mother
She said this cannot be
T'will end in tragedy
His lover was the wife of his brother...

JIHADI (WON'T BE MISSED).

Bin Sayed said everything will be fine
Told a Jihadi bomber to cross the line
But Jihadi didn't know
Something was about to blow
A loud kaboom when he stepped on a mine...

LOUISE.

An old woman by the name of Louise 
Had a fur coat that made everyone sneeze
Also they'd start to twitch
And scratch raw from the itch
She found out it was infested with fleas...

KEITH THE TROLL

There was a vile and nasty troll called Keith
Bullied the weak and shy into defeat
He lived in a small town
A victim tracked him down
Now he's seen walking around with no teeth...

Thank you Darlene, sounds like your winter not yet over. Here in the UK we have a spring feel in the air, we haven't had any snow and only a few frosts. Hang in there spring is coming. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

WoW! Tom, So glad I found your string of limericks. The last one was good to end these well written limericks with. I laughed out loud because I could picture the bully walking around with missing teeth! I’m still waiting on your book. Have a good day and weekend:-) Alexis
