| Here are a few - six even - of the bard's illustrated limericks
out of a total of twenty or so I have currently available. It seems to me that to offer all these at once would be too much of a good thing and bordering on gluttony - never let it be said etc. Anyway here are the first few - look out in a few weeks for the next lot. |

A nasty old man of Cologne
Purchased all of his patry by 'phone,
When they sent him a muffin,
He got all of a huff'n
And insisted he'd ordered a scone.
An agreeable gent from Bayonne,
Tried to maintain a positive tone,
But when toffs on a toot
Put a fish in his boot,
everyone on the strand heard him groan.
'Not as many come now as before,'
Said the curator, blocking the door.
'When folks had no TV,
String was something to see,
Now it's widely considered a bore.
The old joker from Kalamazoo
Asked the new kid to bring him some snoo.
'What's snoo?' asked the boy
Falling hard for the ploy.
'Not a lot', said the rogue, 'How 'bout you?'
'Why it is' said the girl from Capri,
'That the Mediterranean Sea,
Should turn men who swim in it
To swine in a minute,
Remains a dark mystery to me'
