A MOTHER’S LIMERICK

There was once a busy mother of three
Who tried to be the best housewife she could be
So as the laundry kept pilin’
She kept right on smilin’
And said:”It’s not like they can fire me!”

A Limerick on a bird named Pelican

Poet Ogden Nash coined the phrase, “Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.” 
Some limerick fans insist he wrote the following limerick about a pelican:

“A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill can hold more than his beli-can.
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week
But I’m damned if I see how the heli-can.”

A Limerick Tongue-Twister

The bottle of scent Willie sent

Was quite displeasing to Millicent.

Her thanks were so cold

That they quarreled, I’m told,

‘Bout that silly scent Willie sent Millicent.”

LIMERICK ON PRESENT EDUCATION SYSTEM

AT   THIS TIME IN OUR SCHOOLS IT IS SAID

THAT THE PUPIL NEED NOT USE HIS HEAD.

NO LONGER HE FIDGETS

AND COUNTS ON HIS DIGITS,

HE MANIPULATES BUTTONS INSTEAD!!

Limerick on Sudden Cardiac Arrest 

Written: by the Protected One

I’m one, who has survived Sudden Cardiac Arrest,
About eight percent survive this most harrowing test.
You shouldn’t be here, the cardiologist said,
For a short time ago you were clinically dead,
God extended my expiration date and I am blessed;

LIMERICK WITH HINDI Tadka!!

A young mother from beside Jallandar
Would often tell her children “Chalo andar
Bahar mat khadey raho
Kuch likho aur kabhi padho
Nahin toh ban jaoge tum mast kalander!”

Limerick on a miser

A miserly fellow name Joe

Was obsessed with his weekly cash flow.

The guy was so petty,

He ordered wife Betty

To flush once a day. She said, “No!”

Then he yelled, “You are wasteful and low!”

But she said, “It’s distasteful. No go!”

So he sued for divorce—

An asinine course.

Now the lawyers have all of his dough.
