Looe is in Cornwall m’dear
it’s famous for nothing I fear
A small coastal town
of little renown
but isn’t its name rather queer
Tag: Limericks

Kendal is famous for cake
but not the sort that you bake
It’s perfect for climbers
and walkers and rhymers
and helps to keep them awake

Limericks are normally light hearted, mildly humorous, often tongue in cheek, and slightly risqué. This one is not any of those. For whatever reason, this came to mind and it makes me rather sad. I shall not analyse, or explain, any more than that!
Jenny from Jarrow was sad
she’d argued with Mum and with Dad
She’d never felt right
and had told them in fright
that she desperately felt like a lad

Sidney from Ilfracombe
crept quietly into her room
He wanted to dance
with the lady from France
who wore in her hair a red plume
(For those outside UK Ilfracombe is pronounced ILFRACOOM)

Horatio hailed from Hull
the guy was incredibly dull
He polished his nose
and painted his toes
and now his diary is full!

Serendipitous Sally from Gwent
knew not what the word really meant
She thought she was lucky
and really quite plucky
but that is as far as it went
Handy hint
serendipity. If you find good things without looking for them, serendipity — unexpected good luck — has brought them to you. Serendipity does not come from Latin or Greek, but rather was created by a British nobleman in the mid 1700s from an ancient Persian fairy tale.

There once was a man went to Filey
he was really incredibly smiley
He suffered a scare
when attacked by a bear
now he’s anxious and acts very shyly

There was a young lady from Ealing
who hung upside down from the ceiling
She dressed really random
whilst riding a tandem
singing opera with consummate feeling

The City of Derby, which is 10 miles from where I live, is pronounced DARBY.
There once was a man lived in Derby
who thought he was married to Barbie
He bought lots of things
including some rings
and wondered how much would a car be?
I shall be visiting Derby today to meet up with ex work colleagues for our regular get together where we commiserate with the only one who is still working. We will enjoy a quiet lunch together (well sometimes we are quiet!), try to put the world to rights, and discuss our various ailments and aches. It will also give me a chance to go to see The Knife Angel.

There was a young lady from Chester
who left all her acne to fester
Her face soon eroded
and then it exploded
she now works at Court as a Jester
