A personal limerick.

There is a handsome man I call Crow.
Who most poets definitely know
He spends all his time
Composing his rhyme
Which is why we are here ,I suppose.

Limerick
Anonymous 56
~~~~~~~~~~~

There was an old man from Darjeeling
Who boarded a bus bound for Ealing.
He saw on the door,
“ Please don’t spit on the floor’
So he stood up and spat on the ceiling.

Notes on a man from Darjeeling
Oliver Philip Nov 2018
There once was a poet of Alex
Who’s now collecting philatelic
The Stamps that he owns
Would make his wife grown
She banishes him to the attic

An anonymous limerick
From the 1930’s.

There was a young woman called Starkie  .
Who had an affair with a darky.
The result of her sins.
Was quadruplets not twins.
One black and one white and two khaki .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With apologies for being derogatory Philip.

A British rock star that we all know
Passing water on the Alamo
Biting heads off bats .
Why did he do that ?
Yet the USA they love him so.

A limerick (3)
I am a poet.
~~~~~~~~~
I am a poet who loves his Queen
She loves him, do you know what I mean?
From dawn until dusk
Linked hearts in their trust
Forever and each year in between

When you wish upon a star.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you wish upon a star
Have you any Idea where it goes ?
Express ... it goes express into the cosmos
Naturally it’s a secret wish. Not seen on FB

You can never see it on that Twitter thing
Or in graffiti painted beautifully on walls
Under tunnels or on the sides of rail trucks

When you wish upon a star.
I happen to know that the fairies in the garden
Secretly leave their home in a pumpkin patch
Hail up the nearest Angel Michael or Gabriel

Under cover of the large cabbage daddy grew
Pops said wish into a magic red velvet bag
Off it goes with Michael or Gabriel up in space
Now when you wish upon a star.

And you find that all your dreams come true.

Simply get down upon you knees and pray.
To thank God for all his blessings this Xmas
And spare a thought for all the children
Round the world who are contented with life.
