Othello - Shakespeare in Limerick


There once was a man named Othello
An outrageously jealous old fellow
When they told him some lies
Quite green turned his eyes
And like a great bull he did bellow

To give back Godiva her spleen.

And cut her little finger

I Can Stare If I Want To

A child may look at its mother
A man may look at his brother
A cat at a queen
A kid at a dean
And we may all look at each other!

It's raining quite hard - it's pouring
The tired old man is snoring
Got into bed
And bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning!

A hobbit who lived in the Shire
Liked to sit before his warm fire
So then just imagine
When he saw the dragon
In a rage, full of wrath and of ire.

And he did not know what to do

In the cannibal's pot
If he didn't get out he was through.

A LEGO Limerick

A kid was trying to stack
His LEGOS - red, yellow and black
Though his effort was great
He could not lay them straight
His tower was way out-of-whack.

A Vintage Riddle Limerick - In Summer . . .

In summer much clothing I wear
Birds all love to nest in my hair
But when cold it grows
I throw off my clothes
And sleep in the frigid night air.

Minnie McFinney - Vintage Limerick

Miss Minnie McFinney of Butte
Fed always and only, on frutte.
Said she, "Let the coarse
Eat of beef and of horse
I'm a peach, and that's all there is tutte."
