Limericks, A New Venture For Me

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

(1.)

Mr. Blabbermouth

His horse races wearing no shoes
Counts by fingers and toes by two's
His life sick and sad
Wants to be so bad
Friends happy when he has the blues

Old Rhyming Poets

We old poets fix shoes with glue
our ink rhymes sing, dance and accrue
with pens we do write
our words out of sight
no rusty nails in our old shoes

composed this ditty on the fly,
hoping to light up your bright sky
do or die, new words
nesting is for birds
sent to my friend, do not ask me why....

No Sailors Would Wear Skimpy Lady's Thong

There once boasted a wild and scrawny lad
Wagering he'd be best they ever had
Off goes shirt and pink panties
Drunk friends raised bets and anties
Aboard ship he thought they all were so glad

Soon found, lop-eared and deaf to Siren's song
On this ocean no spindle legs belong
True sailor's hearts did not swoon
You go deep six very soon
No sailors would wear skimpy lady's thong!

In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Greek singular: Σειρήν Seirēn; Greek plural: Σειρῆνες Seirēnes) were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. Roman poets placed them on some small islands called Sirenum scopuli. In some later, rationalized traditions, the literal geography of the "flowery" island of Anthemoessa, or Anthemusa,[1] is fixed: sometimes on Cape Pelorum and at others in the islands known as the Sirenuse, near Paestum, or in Capreae.[2] All such locations were surrounded by cliffs and rocks.
