h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I wore out my joystick today,
My life's in complete disarray.
I kicked out my cat,
Who'd spoiled my mouse mat,

But I didn't really want it that way.

------

While walking across the street,

just guess who I happened to meet

(Jonny, where did the "mouse mat" come from? The line was "trashed my whole flat,"...?)

While walking across the street,
Just guess who I happened to meet..
A man with a cane

(Good luck on moving the Limerick game to a new thread... There are now four new starts to this thread. )

Who was flying a 'plane

because he was blind with no feet

does that work? oh well if it doesn't please feel free to kill me

new start :-

An astranaut riding a mule

An astronaut riding a mule

while also acting a fool

found himself falling

So he began calling

They never taught this at school

(My prefered line was "At least it's safer than MIR" - but that wouldn't have worked)

In an alley at midnight

I forgot to bring my flashlighy

(bum... bum... bum...)
I forgot to bring my flashlighT

I saw a strange man,

Who looked like my nan

(before you say anything, I happen to think it's a
pretty nifty nickname)

Oy Vey! What a terrible sight!

(BTW, 54754, checked out your page - glad you like Scotland - I'm from Aberdeen )

I was taking my life in my hands,

All for a couple of grands

(you try carrying a piano up six flights of stairs)

Oh my, oh me,

What I failed to see

There once was an errant young lad,
Whose Limericks were always quite bad,
For he just kept on going,
And just kept on going,
And just kept on going,
And just kept on going,
And just kept on going,
And just kept on going,
And just kept on going,
And just kept on going,
And just kept on going,
And just kept on going...
