~*~ In the hills of Tipperary, I spied a beautiful fairy, It trilled sweetly to me, "I'm a he, not a she, My name is Larry, not Mary!" ~*~ |

Love limericks the more that I read Although some seem to lack rhythm's need They are spiced rather nice by the drink once or twice of the green Irish brew they call mead. ~A~ (M- just me foolin' around) [This message has been edited by Alicethruglass (03-17-2003 06:29 PM).] |

Captain ~ It is unfortunate that the lady had not met the man from Nantucket! He might have been able to put a smile on her face and she wouldn't have drank herself to death! Thanks for joining in the spritely spirit! Warm Irish hugs, EA |

Captain Limerick ~ There once lived a captain called "Hair", Who spent all his days in a chair, He wrote plenty of rhymes, Of both good and bad kinds, But his humor he wrote with a flare! Loved your limericks, Dear Captain! Warm Irish hugs, EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (03-17-2003 09:45 PM).] |

Sue ~ Glad you enjoyed the limerick! It's the Irish in me! Actually, the fairy was really quite annoyed with me because I had mistaken him for a member of the gentler gender! Warm Irish hugs, Linda |

I would think Larry WOULD be offended... you're telling his secrets and you KNOW Bal or Toe will give him grief! LOL There once was the loveliest miss Who promised her true love a kiss But a problem deciding Means she's now residing With the whole bunch who promised her bliss!

I bumped into an elf in old Eire- a green coat and red cap his attire- I stepped on his toe, said, "Excuse me, miss," No wonder my ears are on fire. I loved your limerick. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
