Limericks
« on: September 13, 2009, 07:40 AM »
Three kittens all playful and fluffy
Gambolled in a room hot and stuffy
When a cushion they tore
They were kicked out the door
Where they angrily mewed and were huffy.



A cluster of grapes on a vine
Wished to become a fine wine
But weather turned bad
And grapes became sad
To hear they'd be fed to the swine.



A maid was out brooming the yard
Finding the going quite hard
The view of the bay
Really swept her away
So she ran off and lived with a bard

Kuranui, you have inspired me!  This is an old one of mine...

Said a Snail

Said a snail as a tree he did climb,
"A breakfast on leaves is sublime!
But the trip is a bore,
And my backside gets sore,
And I fear I will run out of slime!”

your first poem reminded me of a quote from Terry Pratchett:
"For centurys, cats were worshiped as deities. They have not forgotten this."

A drop above Spain
looking down on the terrain
"Oh please don't let me fall!!
Iam only fragile and small
I so hate being a drop of rain!

I'm terrible at limericks, but here's a go at it.



A TSA agent named Loom
Took me to a little room
Put his hands down my pants
Wasn't looking for ants
I wish he'd just go kaboom!
