Fun Time with Limericks

Random thoughts are in my head
And I cannot ignore them
So many things there to be said
And I must explore them

Cannot escape them, so I will not
They sure do come in handy
Connect and tie them, so they're not forgot
And that's just fine and dandy

I took a trip into the woods
My ankle twisted now
I had my underwear too tight
And tried to pull the wedgie out

That's when I fell beside a stream
A curse did I exclaim
Of course, my voice was hoarse
So it sounded really lame

Fish are flying in the air
A cub does hug a grizzly bear
Lost in the woods, that's what I see
Now to find a place to pee

I was going to go in the water
But I drink natural spring too
I'd not soil it with my taint
So I thought to sail downstream on a canoe

I built a canoe
I made it out of hay
But when I went and raised my flag
It simply flew away

So back at home, I sit alone
A thought enters my head
I reflect and see , I did not pee
But now I have to poop instead

Water, water everywhere
But not a drop to drink
The toilet, it has overflown
And left a nasty stink
