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.
