A Series of Limericks

A series of funny poems

There was a girl named Mary
whose chin had become very hairy
Embarrassed by this
she refused to kiss
her lover so odd and contrary

One time a young girl named Dolly
went shopping with a very big trolley
Filled to the top
She cleaned out the shop
Her favourite item; a parrot named Polly!

There once was a young girl named Gwen
All thought she was great with a pen
Her thoughts they were pure
and she was demure
as she crafted a beautiful hymn!

There once was a young girl named Fred
Whose Ego went straight to her head
She has searched for a man
everywhere that she can
but has not yet landed one in her bed!

There once was a young girl named Rose
whose lover to her did propose
As he popped the question
she got indigestion
and threw up all over his clothes!

Ahhh-HAH! 🍀🎶

No one but a keen minded, free-spirited Celtic lass could pen such crafty, quick-witted Irish Limericks.
I love this form for its jaunty pace 'n creatively novel brand of humor and/or sassy frass fun … often naughty, but always entertaining when penned well, and there's scant doubt your unique suite of Limericks are excellently rendered, indeed.
Every one in spot-on rhyme, rhythm, flow, and jaunty punch … I love em one 'n all with light humorous grins 'n guffaws, but have to admit the penultimate verse best tickled my risquély randy imagination. 😉

Good stuff, Lady Marie … you're always amazing! ⁓ Richard🖌

Words fail me! I have no words to thank you for your absolutely amazing comment, dear Richard! Thank you for your too kind words of encouragement. I am most grateful and so happy you enjoyed a little giggle as you read...

Well, the Irish are known for their limericks. I must confess a weakness for the naughty ones, such as the one about a man named Magruder, who met a young lass in Bermuda. I'll leave it at that.

[Marie]

Hahaha! Yes, think it's best to leave it there, John! :-) Thank you for reading and so kindly commenting. Blessings for a beautiful day...

I'm glad I landed on this. Made me smile and had me wondering why I stopped writing limericks lol

My favorites - first and second-last. Too good :)))

There once was a girl named Marie
Who shared with us, poetically
A wonderful style
That made us all smile
And log in each day just to see

That was fun and here is one for you. : )

[Marie]

I think you have just made a sunny somerset evening shine .. Neville

[Marie]

That is so nice and thank you for sharing the beautiful sunny evening with me as I watch the wind blow fiercely through the trees bending them to his will as they duck and dodge and the gunmetal sky is sobbing hard, missing the warm sunshine! That's evening time in Ireland today, Neville...

[Dave Brown]

There once was a limerickett-e
Whose limericks were presented free
Down a rhymebow they were fed
Going straight into her head
Which was no longer quite as empty

I really enjoy limericks and yours were great

[Marie]
