limericks



From Everett there was a young man
Who thought he was perfectly grand
Until one fine day,
He found 30 bales of hay,
And said, "Oh!  I guess I'm a farmhand."

A teacher from Everett High
And Cascade's seniorest guy
Met on the street,
And looked at their feet,
And thought the other guy, shy.

Bullwinkle went on vacation
And pulled into a gas station
Someone said, "Hey You!
Are you a moose too?
We can start our own new moose nation!"

I sit in a computer lab
reading megabytes of gab
how long must I sit
I'm trying to quit
before I go stark raving mad.

Reading this mail makes me laugh
my neighbors are all agasp
If I read one more line
I know I'll do time
I'm starting to bother the staff

This internet is really neat
It's amazing, the people I meet
I've been here too long
my strength is all gone
but I'd rather go surfing than eat.

I'm here in history class
sitting next to my favorite lass
the prof's an old goat
but she's taking notes
she, unlike me, has to pass.

I can't believe what the ads say
The average Joe eats 5 times a day
If I ate like that
I'd soon be fat
And all my money would go away.

Time on my hands yet so much to do
Seems every day I find something new
I eat when I should
But it doesn't taste good
Man, I hate having the flu

Surrounded by all this greasy chow
I think I'll eat some pizza now
Red meat tastes good
Just like it should
Tomorrow I'll have some parts from a cow

Off in the distance I spy a clown
He looks my way and spies my frown
He wants me to smile
He dances awhile
But these finals have really got me down

I can't think of a limerick today
I guess I've just got nothing to say
Just two more lines
And one more rhyme
And I'll be on my way.
