There once was a swimmer named Mark,
Who one day encountered a shark,
He suggested a race,
But the fish beat his pace,
And the water around them went dark.
Thanks to Terry Akee for this.
A Swimmer Called Mark
January 8th, 2020Kim Jong Un Limerick
January 2nd, 2020Kim Jong Un’s awesome attributes fill me
with pride and his mighty deeds will me
to say he’s the best,
it’s a loyalty test –
if I don’t he’ll send someone to kill me.

even if you can’t see through the smoke.
BoJo On Holiday Limerick

and blame a young girl
for the fact that The Grand Tour is shite.
Prince Andrew Limerick

Arise, Sir Nige

lest I’m given a note
to say I’ve a place in the Lords.”

And so in the end
he plumped to defend
the photos by blaming poor lighting.

and ran a proverbial mile.

August 24th, 2019Though William and Kate are celebs,

the twain didn’t meet
because each royal seat
was kept well away from the plebs.
Hal and Meg Limerick
August 21st, 2019Though they warn us about acid rain,

Royal Nanny Limerick

with dear Kim in Korea’s DMZ.”
The Camberwell Mystery Limerick
June 28th, 2019Was it things that go bump in the night,

I have to confess
that it’s anyone’s guess
coz Boris’s lips are shut tight.
