A
tisket and a tasket Are all your eggs in a basket? If you have too many wives Just keep losing all the knives Or else get laid in a big casket
Old King Cole loved to be in drag And while in drag he loved to shag But his missus came to know From an old vindictive foe The cat was let out of the bag
An old
dame from Nantucket Slipped many times and said f**k it One day while soaping her date She fell and fractured her pate In the bath she kicked the bucket
A Chinaman called Chung Chung Screeched hard on top of his lungs So awful was the noise They banned him in Illinois Oh blimey! The cat got his tongue
A
saddened old man from Brunei Tossed out his clock with a sigh Hickory Dickory dock The clock became a hawk The old man said oh! how time flies
Silly
Mr. Murphy from the south Ran up a debt too mammoth His girl a Playboy Bunny Screwed him well for his money The silver spoon fell off his mouth
There once was a junkie called Jack
Who lived in a bag of Prozac
He took too many pills
And would not pay his bills
He was such a hard nut to crack
Foxy
lady Genevieve Dressed to kill on Christmas Eve In a nun’s habit for fun Her hair she wore in a bun Her heart she wore on her sleeve
that poor woman from Nantucket....
and as for the wives one...oooh that stung a bit, Ditzy...I had too many wives...does three count?
my eggs are definitely cracked...and your nun one brought me back to grade school....
Sister Rosilda who would turn all red and rosy when we would give her a hard time and then say, "Oh the nerve of you brass monkeys"---
we loved her...
But then there were the nuns who would hit our knuckles with their rulers when we acted up.
So many confessions spent repenting for all the cuss words we thought of when that happened.

You've outdone yourself! This is a great spiel of fun writing with spunky rhymes & nursery-rhyme bouncy rhythms. I admire any poet who can sustain such an attitude, with so much cleverness, over such a long poem, all complete with intricate rhyming. This is not easy to do! I usually poop out after 4 or 5! This is the most inventive thinking: "Hickory Dickory dock . . . The clock became a hawk . . . The old man said oh! how time flies" . . . your writing is strong & witty becuz your way of thinking & seeing the world is full of spark & imagination! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

You can never have to many wives.
Imagine sending out ten wives to get you beer.
This is a brewery in the making.
One has a headache, nine more to play with.
The only downside i can foresee is, if they all want to drag you around the shops at the same time.

What a prolific cat you are, my kitten mostly lays around all day (I wonder if he's dreaming up clever poetry). Very clever stuff, you managed to strike on the common collective subconscious at every turn. What fun you've created here.
Dhara you just have to be part Irish! Us bunnies aren't so cheap but we are worth every penny:)

I was poking fun at a different variety of 'Bunnies' and not the real bunnies at all. You're awesome! Sending love 💕
You are without doubt Queen of Limericks Ditzy. I have read all of these twice. A stupendous effort on your part and your cartoons are hilarious. I think you must pick the cartoon first and then do the limericks. I love that they are appropriately international. And they are all saucy., entertaining and bring a wide smile on a dull day. Went shopping yesterday, so treats have been replenished and here you go fav Kat ................

These are awesome, Dhara_Ditzy! I love that you are combining the two elements in this series to keep the limericks fresh. A great series of pictures to go with the limericks you have written, too. You have been very busy with these, haven't you? Lol. Awesome work. 💛

Very busy lately. Scribbling Scribbling away! So glad you liked! Thanks a lot my lovely friend.
A very inventive combination here, Ditzy....idioms and limericks in a witty concoction with hilarious little pics attached. I enjoyed all of them but especially the prozac junkie, Jack and naive Mr. Murphy. And what a great picture of Chung Chung there! Hahaha. Always fun to read you.
