MORE BAD LUCK
The bread was stale
It was four days old
The milk was sour
The coffee was cold.
The butter was rancid
The steak was tough.
The service was dreadful,
The waiter was rough.
My bill was huge
His tip was small.
I’m sorry I went to that place at all.

LIMERICKS
Limericks belong to nonsense verse, a kind of humorous poetry, which amuses by deliberately using strange, non-existent words and illogical ideas. Its masters in English are Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll.
There was an Old Person of Dean,
Who dined on one pea and one bean;
For he said, “More than that
Would make me too fat”,
That cautious Old Person of Dean.
There was an Old Man of Peru
Who dreamt he was eating his shoe.
He awoke in the night
In a terrible fright
And found it was perfectly true!
There was a Young Lady of Lynn,
Who was so uncommonly thin,
That when she essayed
To drink lemonade,
|
|
|
She slipped through the straw and fell in.
There was a Young Man of Bengal,
Who was asked to a fancy-dress ball.
He murmured, “I’ll risk it
And go as a biscuit”,
But a dog ate him up in the hall.
There was once an Old Man of Rhine,
Who was asked at what hour he’d dine.
He replied, “At eleven,
One, two, three and seven,
Not to mention a quarter to nine”.
There was once an Old Man of Crew,
Who found a mouse in his stew.
Said the waiter, “Don’t shout
And don’t wave it about,
Or the others will want the one too”.
There was once a lady from Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger.
Once they came from a ride
|

|
With the lady inside
And the smile on the face of the tiger
RHYMES
An accident happened to my brother Jim
Somebody threw a tomato at him
Tomatoes are juicy, they can’t hurt the skin
But that one was specially packed in a tin.
²There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children
She didn’t know what to do.
She made them some broth
Without any bread,
And whipped them all soundly
And sent them to bed.
