Just married husband number seven

The other six had all died

A lively old lady from Devon
Just married husband number seven
The other six had all died
Soon after they took their bride
This old lady is not off to heaven

A lively old lady from Devon
Just married husband number seven
The other six had all died
Soon after they took their bride
This old lady is not off to heaven
she's sure to out last number seven



(sorry if I'm a philistine and don't understand limericks.)

[Winnie57]

^ Not quite right NDF - if you look at the first post in the thread it sort of explains what limericks are. They are five lines long with a rhyme scheme of AABBA. They also have a rhythm which goes:

Di da diddy da diddy da
Di da diddy da diddy da
Di da diddy da
Di da diddy da
Di da diddy da diddy da

Anyway it's time to start a new one:

One day in the middle of June

One day in the middle of June
I took a trip in a hot-air balloon
But disaster struck

One day in the middle of June
I took a trip in a hot-air balloon
But disaster struck
The burner got stuck
The descent felt just like a typhoon

Had a gift for incessantly talking
He chatted all day
'Til his listeners would pray

I have an insatiable urge

[Winnie57]

I have an insatiable urge
To whistle and tweet like a bird
I blame my father

[Quiet Man]

I have an insatiable urge
To whistle and tweet like a bird
I blame my father
For causing a lather

I have an insatiable urge
To whistle and tweet like a bird
I blame my father
For causing a lather
When the budgie taught me my first word

There was an old man named breeze

[Puppet]

There was an old man named breeze
Who was infested with thousands of fleas
His house was made out of jam

[Mr. Nobody]

There was an old man named breeze
Who was infested with thousands of fleas
His house was made out of jam
and his shoes were fashioned from Ham
he was told by his mate
you've gone out of date date

[Winnie57]

^ jerry your rhyme is great! But unfortunately it doesn't quite fit the Limericks format so I have provided an alternative last line. The limerick should be 5 lines long and should follow the rhyme scheme AABBA

But the fleas preferred biting his knees
