I'm wearing a moth-eaten hat,
the one that I swiped from Jack Sprat.
It's lacking a crown
and the brim’s fallen down
and it smells like a rampant Tom cat.

But it fits on my head like a glove

It's a hat sent from heaven above!

If it weren't for the fleas,

And the lice and the bees,

And the lice and the bees,
It would be a chapeau I could love.

Being stuck here, I've stocked up on booze

thinking, "Hell, I've got nothing to lose"

thinking, "Hell, I've got nothing to lose.
The bars are all closed
But a sensitive nose
Unerringly leads me to booze.

I cheated because I am drunk.

I admit, I’m a terrible monk.
I chant way too loud

I chant way too loud
And draw quite a crowd

It's too much: I simply can't cope.
I try and I try. It's no soap.

So I've turned to the booze

So I've turned to the booze
And by ones and by twos

And by ones and by twos
I'll finally make it to Pope.

The answer, I'm told, is a four

(I googled it, and found that homophones are acceptable in Limericks. :Shrug:)

The answer, I'm told, is a four,
or did that golfer just shout, "FORE"?

We're out on the green
at hole seventeen,
pelted with golf balls, and I'm sore.

He though he would go to the pond

He thought he would go to the pond
And so, with a wave of his wand,
in a blink he was there

in a blink he was there,
and so was a bear
with a beautiful tall Russian blonde.
