    Default Limericks, A New Venture For Me

    (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

    Robert J. Lindley, 7-03-2018

    FIRST EVER LIMERICK WRITTEN BY ROBERT LINDLEY

    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....

    For a new limerick contest-

    edit again...12:14....

    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.
