and not doing housework, to boot!!

OK, got rid of that one, here we go again............



There was an old lady from Hastings

whose house was made from brass metal casings

she shrugged when it rained

for the rust from it, stained...

(I'm pretty sure that brass doesn't rust, but we are allowed poetic licence, aren't we??)

her chicken & spuds she was basting!





The winkles you eat at the seaside.......

won't taste good if they're on the greenside (hows the foot? )

better than inland

where they don't taste of sand

(thanks chor, better, but still off work. 2nd X-ray today to see what's what!)

Something I cannot abide


The universe is totally expanding

And the Martians will soon be landing

They'll drink all our tea

And produce bad tv (could it be worse )

Have they already sent Gary Shandling?

There was a young lady from Bath

who was prone to falling on her "ath"



(thanks, chor, who's Shandling? I'm out of it!)

but she always jumped up,

and blamed her little pup



(if anyone's wondering why I'm monopolizing the limerick threads, it's because I'm still off work after breaking a bone in my foot, and I'm bored to tears! Here's a site for fellow boredom sufferers) http://www.i-am-bored.com/
Enjoy!

To avoid an embarrassing gaff

Well that was the weekend that was

Said the man as he jumped on his hoss

riding off into the sunset,
