Lyrical Thursdays: Limericks

In honor of last weekend's St. Patrick's Day celebrations, I thought it'd be fun to post some limericks.  I actually found a website with clean limericks, which aren't always the norm...  I chose a few of my favorites to share here, and would LOVE it if you wrote one and shared it in the comments!!  Here's my attempt, which describes me lately:

There once was a girl so busy, 
Her head was getting real dizzy.

She had paintings and prose

From her head to her toes

And hair that often was frizzy.

If this post is a little short, it's only because I'm so busy with other creative endeavors that I don't have time for much more this week. Those endeavors will be explained in next week's Lyrical Thursdays, so get excited! 

Happy Thursday!


There once was a man named Hall
Who died in the spring in the fall.
'Twould have been a sad thing
Had he died in the spring
But he didn't, he died in the fall.

There once was a musical hobo
Who strung four strings on his oboe.
Said he, "With these strings,
This thing really sings!
I both blow and bow on my oboe."
—Original limerick by Dave Reckoning

Flappity, floppity, flip,
The mouse on the Moebius strip.
The strip revolved,
The mouse dissolved
In a chronodimensional skip.

There once was a man from Peru
Whose limericks stopped at line two.

There was a young woman named Bright
Whose speed was much faster than light.
She set out one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night.

There was a young man from Japan
who's limericks never would scan.
When asked why this was,
he said: "Tis because
I always try and put as many words in the last line as I possibly can."
—From Barbara Sohngen, Amsterdam

A tongue-twister limerick!
A flea and fly in a flue,
Were imprisoned so what could they do?
Said the flea let us fly.
Said the fly let us flee.
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

Another tongue-twister limerick!
A tutor who tooted a flute,
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor,
"Is it harder to toot, or
To tutor two tooters to toot?"

(Please record yourself reading these last two out loud and send me the video, would ya? I could use a good chuckle...)  :D
