Dear Friends,
Writing limericks is a hobby of mine. The ones on this page are about love. Some are serious but most of them are intended to make you smile. I'll try to add to these as often as I can. The gargoyle is not happy about the pink panther on this page, but he can't always be the star of the show and will just have to get over it.
I'll begin with my version of the most famous Limerick of all time:
There once was a lady from Niger
Who fell quite in love with a tiger.
She prayed every night
Until to her delight
The Fairies turned her into a liger.
Now here's some more. Some are funny some are sad. I hope you like them!
She cried when he said he was leaving
And pleaded instead of believing.
But he left her to wonder
While his spell she was under
For how long he had been deceiving.
Through the years there was laughter and pain
Some days brought them sunshine—some rain.
But just like the song
Their love will go on
Memories the everlasting refrain.
She fell head over heels for the Briton
In his arms, she purred like a kitten.
But in spite of her plea—
He took off for the sea
Not caring how bad she was smitten.
There once was a lass chaste and merry
Who danced as light as a fairy.
Until a lad came along—
And sang her a song.
Then stole both her smile and her cherry.
Down on one knee, he asked them to marry
Calling them honey, sweetheart and cherie.
But he smiled on the day
They took him away
‘Cause having five wives can get hairy.
She looked high and low for a lover
When she found him, she wanted no other.
Although him she revered
The snake soon disappeared
After turning her into a mother.
Love is not very easy to come by
So if it finds you don’t bother to ask why.
Just be glad that it came
And if he feels the same
Like two birds on the wing you will fly.
She begged him to write every day
And cried as his ship sailed away.
But no letters came.
He’d forgotten her name
But remembered she was a good lay.
They stood side by side at the altar.
Vowing that their love would not falter.
And year after year
Their love did endure
Solid as the Rock of Gibraltar
