The Unstrung Harpsichord
While doing some much-needed room cleaning, I came across these
limericks written way back in high school with my friend Sarah Hagge.
They of course deserve to be immortalized on my weblog.
There once was a dog and a carriage
The love-stricken dog proposed marriage
 
When the carriage was silent
 
The dog became violent
At that act of utter disparage
-R.P.
|
Young Florence had very fine knees
And she always said thank-you and please
 
Her smile was delightful
 
But her tresses were frightful
For her beehive, it really had bees.
-R.P.
|
As Madeline sat on her bed
An idea came into her head
 
"If one day I go wild
 
And string up a young child
I will bury it under the shed
-S.H.
|
There once was a lady quite fair,
And whenever she ate a ripe pear,
 
The meb would start flocking
 
For her manner was shocking
But she fought them all off with her hair
-R.P. & S.H.
|
There was once a young dancer named Jane
Who in car-pools was often a pain
 
When she tried some high kicks
 
The back seat did the splits
And she had to walk home in the rain
-S.H.
|
When the far-sighted Annie turned ten
She discovered she didn't like men
 
"They're really quite gross
 
When you see them up close!"
So she never wore glasses again
-R.P.
|
One night at eleven o'clock
On the downstairs front door came a knock
 
Past the doorway we found
 
Lying dead on the ground
A body, outlined in some chalk
-S.H.
|
There once was a girl in Français
Who decided one cold winter's day
 
That the teacher who sat
 
In her desk chair and spat
Verbs should perish the following May
-S.H.
