VII Limericks

LIMERICKS

ONE

There once was a dragon whose doom
Was his fire just wouldn't resume.
"For my flaming in fights,
When I frizzle up knights,
Has just fizzled!" he wept in his gloom.

TWO

There was a young boy in Peru
Who wanted to see a gnu-
But the zoo was gnuless,
Which left him quite clueless,
Alarmed that brown llamas were all he could view.

THREE

There once was an owl who said, "Right-
I'll fly in the day not the night!"
But the day was too sunny,
Which made him feel funny,
So he went back to sleeping at light.

FOUR

There was an old man who said, "June
Has a perfectly musical moon.
If you play the bassoon
Beating time with a spoon,
Then the June moon will sing you a tune!"

FIVE

But his wife disagreed, she said, " May
Is much better, for after the day,
If you do something mellow
Upon an old cello
All the planets will hum as you play!"

SIX
There was a young dog who said, "How
Can I change my rough bark from bow-wow?"
So he tried hard and long
To make it a song
But all he could get was miaow.

SEVEN

A butterfly pondered, "Although
It seems strange that I flit to and fro,
If I fly in a line
Then I'm sure in no time
A bright bird will catch me as I go!"
