Just Two Limericks Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Just Two Limericks

Rating: 4.1


There was a young lady from Perth
who was born on the day of her birth.
She grew older with grace
and wore Persian lace.
She died lonely and soon left this earth.

A spinster of St. Maxime, France
on a Friday went out to a dance,
in the hope that she might
find a young shining knight,
she was homely at first and last glance.

I love 'Limericks' Herbert, they flow nicely on the tongue. I remember one my Uncle used to say. He lived in Kings Lynn in Norfolk. There was a young man from Kings Lynn, Who was so exceedingly thin, That when he assayed, To drink lemonade, He slipped through the straw and fell in. Just a little 'ditty' for you. I loved your two they are great. Limericks give amazing choices and quotes. Love Ernestine XXX
