Made a living by sewing up hames

Was a wealthy inveicester
And owned some magnificent geames

Whose limericks weren't worth a penny.
In technique they were sound,
But she always found
Whenever she tried to write any,
That she always wrote one line too many.

A perceptive young buck in the Gloucesters ,Yearned for a cold tinnie of Fosters,Rat piss in a pail,With melted down hail,He accepted as clever impostors.

who gobbled a plateful of beans.

and the girl was tormented
by embarrasing sounds in her jeans.

Once lived a drunken man with a wooden leg
Who’s his misfortune forced him to dance and beg
The problem he had
Was tragic and sad
Since his leg, the remains of a Keg

There was a young lady one fall
Who wore a newspaper dress to a ball.
The dress caught fire
And burned her entire
Front page, sporting section and all.
