Limerick Poems
There Was An Old Man In A Tree

There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a bee.
When they said "Does it buzz?"
He replied "Yes, it does!
It's a regular brute of a bee!"

Resembled the point of a pin;
So she had it made sharp,
And purchased a harp,
And played several tunes with her chin.
Limerick: There Was A Young Lady In White

Who looked out at the depths of the Night;
But the birds of the air
Filled her heart with despair,
And oppressed that Young Lady in White.
Limerick:There Was An Old Man At A Casement

Who held up his hands in amazement;
When they said, 'Sir, you'll fall!'
He replied, 'Not at all!'
That incipient Old Man at a casement.
Limerick: There Was An Old Man Of Moldavia

Who had the most curious behaviour;
For while he was able,
He slept on a table.
That funny Old Man of Moldavia.

not checking to see if a fire was lit.

while dancing a fast shimmy-
His job is oft harder than he'll admit!
Merry and Bright

Santa and elves were coming on the sleigh.
The night was filled with fair sights,
'Til the clash with festive lights.
Soon flashing, bright nosed Rudolph, led the way!

Young Kevin had spindly knock knees.
He got in every place with ease.
The knocking made such racket,
that people were ecstatic,
to open up, so his knees would cease!

That my parents didn't like me.
So they named me Sue
For I looked like a shoe;
Life is tough for a guy like me.
There Was An Old Man In A Tree
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a bee.
When they said "Does it buzz?"
He replied "Yes, it does!
It's a regular brute of a bee!"
