George Friedrich Handel
Couldn't hold a candle
To Bach. When he found "Messiah" tryin'
He composed a "Life of Brian"
For gourd and sandal.

Francis of Assisi
Liked taking it easy
And shooting the breeze with the birds
Such intercourse needed no words
Unlike us on PC*

Frederic Chopin
Was always mopin'
After leaving his Polish home land.
So he moved in with Mme. George Sand,
Whom he liked gropin'.

Saint F. of Assisi
Was very uneasy
About intercourse with a bird -
The feathery ones, or the furred.
It made him feel queasy.

The said novelist
Mme Sand, would insist
On sex that was hearty and heady
So she lost no time putting Freddy
On her Chopin Liszt

Arthur Schopenhauer
Got caught in a shower
But made no attempt to stay dry;
He had an idea he might try
But lacked the will power

The novelist Dickens
Wrote, "Little Nell sickens
Some time after page ninety-three!
Why? It's a mystery to me,
I guess the plot thickens."
Isambard Brunel
Built a bridge and a tunnel
Then said,"Fellas, I have a dream
Of a screw-powered ship, run on steam,
With a dirty great funnel."

The architect Henry H. Holly
Thought it would be rather jolly
To match factories and houses,
But he built homes for louses
Who couldn't pay polly!
(Holly build the Thos. A Edison home Glenmont for an embezeling Financier who was arrested shortly before the completion of the house. Edison {who purchased Glenmont} comissioned Holly to build a factory of the same style and same brick as used on the house.)

Johann Strauss
Hung round the house
Till his missus said,"Go write a waltz,
Or I'll purge you with brimstone and salts!"
Quite a spouse!

The Great Captain Cook
Sailed south for a look
At a very rare transit of Venus
On second thoughts I think I'll leave that one . . .

Well I thought I had successfully interrupted my first transfer, so much for that.
A bishop of Sarum
Was seen in a barroom
Conversing at length with young men
About hocus-pocus and then
About harum-scarum

If I formally can,
I insist on a ban
On all mention of splicing one's hawser -
It sounds painful. ( Get up off the floor, sir,
Recumbent man!)

Our Uncle Floyd
In in a void
For he is unlike any other
Commedian, or like his brother
Dan Akroyde.

I must go to bed
Stop trawling my head
For rhymes to keep life in this thread
The Limericks one is less dead
Let's go there instead

No! To give up
Would be like a pup
Put in a blender set to puree.
Instead, let us all shout "Hooray"
And toast wine cups!

Aristotle
Thought,"Now what'll
Guarantee some more pleasure in life,
And reduce man's aggression and strife
Without hitting the bottle?"

But Plato, his master
Averted disasters
Like that which befell Socrates;
He lived to old age in great ease
And rarely got plastered

Socrates
Did displease
People with his incessant speach.
And so poisons to cup did reach
Such as these:
Arsenic
Does it quick,
And foxglove hides in the crust,
And strichnine works with just
One lick.
