Limericks Written In A Country Churchyard
There once was a sensitive vicar,
who said, "I'm not one to bicker,
but the peal of that bell,
makes me feel quite unwell,
and plays merry hell with my ticker."
An incensed old soul by the spire,
preaching incense-igniting to the choir,
exclaimed, "There is but one catch,
when striking a match,
don't set your surplice on fire."
A parson spoke from the nave,
"Spend

Big Kirk
There once was a man whose name was Jack.
Wasn’t well liked, he always talked smack.
One day at work,
He met Big Kirk,
Who taught him not to talk behind his back.

An Auld Kirk Yard
Seven beautiful lines contest,
Sponsor Constance La France
Posted 21/3/25
Through the auld Kirk gate in the churchyard wall
The rough green field where my ancestors lie
Woodbine and ivy around the graves sprawl
With Rosemary and rue growing nearby
Where wild rabbits mutter when screech owls cry
Safe in the shadow of granite tombstones
A jewel I loved,

Captain Kirk
Captain Kirk had lots of nerve
Solving all things with his verve
Until he did split
And then had a fit
He now wore a woman's curve.
Note: Inspired by the Star Trek
episode Turnabout Intruder in which Captain Kirk's insane ex-lover Dr. Janice Lester forcibly switches bodies with him in order to take command of the Enterprise.

She Had the Cleft of Kirk Douglas
She had the cleft of Kirk Douglas.
It was decidedly brilliant on her.
It fit her mind and her attitude.
I watched it talk along with her mouth.
Where had she gotten such a cleft?
It is rare to see these days.
It was more fashionable in the forties.
I wondered about it for days.
I never saw her again.
But one time was

Galileo To Kirk
Mayday, Mayday Kirk!
Transport to Galileo
Needs energizing
Running on impulse
All deflector shields are down
And venting plasma
Possible core breech
Romulan battle cruiser
De-cloaked and attacked
They've taken the ship
Corbomite Maneuver may
Be the last resort...

Rest In Peace-Kirk Douglas and Robert Conrad
Kirk Douglas
Today we heard we lost Kirk
Who never needed a shirt
Always a lovely flirt that Kirk
Joining Moses in heaven
Who we watched in the movie way past eleven
Hopefully God enjoyed their sound stage cheese
and now he is at peace
Yes, we lost Kirk
that lovely flirt
Robert Conrad
We say good night to

Like Captain Kirk On His Way To Meet Spock
I got this rap rock while the hoochie on my sock
Drop
I got eyes to see & ears to here
I shed a single tear to help numb the inner pain
Goochie hand bag for my favorite lady
Got to keep it clean like Scoobie Doo
I bit off more then more then I

Ootcast Kirk
Aye and ’tis a bonnie glen
And for us the Laird’s enclave
Dinna fush the soldiers’ menace
‘Tis this moment that He gave.
And we gaither ‘neath the stars
And we tak the wine and bread
And we cleave with benediction
To each Word arr Saviour said.
This is Church
Mind not the dampness
And the laing hike to and fro’
For the Pastor of our

The Kirk Yard
This day is as peaceful to me, as the day has, been so long
As I listen to the birds singing just for me in their last song
Gone the summer’s greens, autumn’s leaves they descend
Critter’s out gathering their winter food, on it they depend
It is only times like this, to which I am at my most
