Limericks

1. There once was a pretty young girl
Who cried until she owed a pearl
She went into town
And wore a gown
Then danced and did a big swirl 1

2. There once was a girl who liked lime
She ate until it was a crime
Her mouth went sour
Then did she scour
Her toilet bowl really did shine2

3. There once was a girl from Peru
Who wished her family was too
Then once at night
Oh did she get a fright
For she woke up inside of a zoo 3

4. There once was a snake who had toes
Until they got caught up his nose
He ripped them off
And gave a cough
And found he was put in the shows4

5. There once was a rotten log
That got gnawed on by a hog
He was a fool
And got a tool
And banged it on the head of a dog5

6. This girl once invented a new game
The people all thought it was lame
She got into a fight
And fought with might
And the people never said that again6

7. There once was a bird who could talk
It got hungry and asked for some pork
Never again
Would it do the same
For it got hit in the head with some cork7

8. There once was a colorful young bee
Who was flying and got stuck in a tree
He did a huge sneeze
And caused a big breeze
Which dismantled him and set him free8

9. There once was a pretty bad liar
The stacks got higher and higher
One day they would fall
The lies and all
And he would soon live in a tire9

10. There once was a man who liked to know
All his wisdom he would explain and show
Until one day
His memory blew away
And then he didn’t even know how to tie a bow10

11. There once was a paper card
Who was made fully out of lard
Then one day
It got melted away
For it was left in a sunny back yard11

12.There once was an ugly old guard
Who protector of the barred
The prisoners escaped
The citizens gaped
For his punishment was to get charred 12

13.There once was a pretty strong breeze
Who got knocked into people’s knees
The knees kicked a fight
The breeze got a fright
And turned into a storm with a sneeze13

14.There once was beautiful young flower
Who liked to shower and shower
Until one day
It fell astray
And was put in a vase with no power14

15.I once had an annoying brother
And I wish I had no other
For one day
He ran away
And I had to call my mother15

16.There once was a really huge rain
And Noah found this a big pain
He had to build an ark
And he found this no lark
But god promised never to do this again16

17. There once was a scaly Rig Shark
Who swam undersea in the dark
He gobbled up fish
For his evening dish
And swam happily as if life was a lark 17
