The bridge down the river is wide
But too near the sea at high tide
It gets pretty wet
And people forget
To stay well away from the side.



In Sweden they do what they can

To stay well away from that man
Who stands on the corner

Who stands on the corner
Reading Little Jack Horner
While banging an old frying pan.

In former life I was King Tut

And after that Lord Falkenbutt

Jack was vain and had face-lifts each year
His skin was pulled tight to each ear.

Now his grin is so wide

Okay, let's do both limericks. Zeddo and I came in neck-and-neck a few posts back, but we're up for a two-fer, aren't we? :D

Jack was vain and had face-lifts each year
His skin was pulled tight to each ear.
Now his grin is so wide
It would scare Mr. Hyde

Be careful, my dear, lest you stray
Into times when your virtue gives way,
For young men, alas,

You betcha! :D

Now his grin is so wide
It would scare Mr. Hyde
And make Frankenstein stand up and jeer!


Be careful, my dear, lest you stray
Into times when your virtue gives way,
For young men, alas,
After making a pass

Take your virtue entire. Lackaday!

My dad has an old GTO
But he drives so exceedingly slow
He causes delays

He causes delays
On all motorways

And that's really no way to go.

My own car is forty years old
It's worth its own weight now... in gold!
I wash it each day

Then drive it away
Don't ask! It will never be sold.
