Lugubriously she shook her head and said he had no future
But then he went to medical school and quickly learned to suture
She sells sturgeon, he’s a surgeon; they met at Plymouth Ho
She declared (with no urgin') "My mistake, you sew-and-sew".

Too good. What did she know?

ReplyDeleteSo now's the time to take a wife.

ReplyDeleteI wondered at first if this was a capsule review of Of Human Bondage then decided not.
Favorite traditional corny limmerick of my British surveyor father
There was a young woman of Wantage
Of whom the town clerk took advantage.
Said the borough suyveyor
Of course you must pay her
You've altered the line of her frontage
Sorry!
This verse is better than worse. Thanks for the laugh!

Love it! One could not possibly remain lugubrious after reading this one!
ReplyDeleteI hope he replies with scourgin' and says she is sew-sew.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteMy granny had this little verse, which I love:
ReplyDeleteOne, two, three-o-leary
I saw Mrs Cleary
Sitting on her bum-ba-leary
Eating chocolate babies.
Apparently it was a skipping verse. I am 30 and I run around singing it like a fool.
