A vulture who lived in my tree
was a wonderful creature to see
He lived solely on steak
but kept me awake
every night when he got up to pee

Lundi limerick #21
A unicorn when she was born
had a very wobbly horn
She fixed it with glue
Well, sure, wouldn’t you
to make sure you suffered no scorn?
Lundi limerick #20
A tiger called Toni from Maine
developed a terrible pain
She sent for some pills
to cure all her ills
and was never heard of again
Lundi limerick #19
A shrimp who was sailing the seas
had terrible pains in his knees
He headed for land
got stuck in the sand
and then got infested with fleas
Lundi limerick #18
Rodney would often eat poo
and burp when he started to chew.
His family of rabbits
had terrible habits
and created a hullabaloo!
Lundi limerick #17
I somehow managed to miss my regular Monday morning slot for a limerick last week.
I blame it on Christmas and New Year making me lose track of what day it was.
To compensate, for disappointing the thousands of readers I don’t have, I am offering a limerick, and a video, for this weeks charming beast.
My Quokka is always so happy
he smiles and he never gets snappy
he sleeps in the day
at night he will play
he’s a thoroughly nice happy chappie
Rapid rhyme #8
I have no fear, I have no care,
the ghost I saw just isn’t there.
It wasn’t there before I saw,
it won’t be there forever more.
The ghost I saw just isn’t there.
I have no fear, I have no care!
Rapid rhyme #7
Why do you think “What may have been?”
when plainly it was not?
Be happy with what’s done and seen,
give thanks for what you’ve got.
You’re richer far than many folk,
and healthier than a few.
Why try to fix what is not broke,
be thankful that you’re you!
Lundi limerick #16
Pernickety Polly, my parrot
ate nothing but cabbage and carrot
She oft shouted out
I’ll not eat that sprout
but get me a nice glass of claret
Rapid Rhyme #6
This poem was inspired by Colleen’s post Not alone. On looking back, I find that my last Rapid Rhyme was also inspired by Colleen whose magnificent blog you can find here.
If you have not read anything of C Faherty Brown’s words, nor seen her delightful, and insightful, drawings, then I would recommend that you delve into them. Her books, too, are a joy, and her latest, “The Sentinel”, also features a tree. It truly is a magnificent story which, uncharacteristically, features not a single picture. The words themselves are picture enough.
This is what Colleen inspired:
By the tree
in the tree
playfully
you and me
went on dates
__.__
Girl and boy
fun ahoy
boy oh boy
what a joy
consummates
__.__
Shared a life
man and wife
free from strife
love was rife
best of mates
