Limericks
There once was a lady named Bright,
Who could travel faster than light.
She set out one day,
In a relative way,
And came back the previous night.
A monkey sprang down from a tree
And angrily cursed Charles D.
"I hold with the Bible,"
He cried, "It's a libel
That man is descended from me!"
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter named Nan,
Ran away with a man,
And as for the bucket, Nan tucket.
There once was a person from Lyme
Who married three wives at a time.
When asked, "Why a third?"
He replied, "One's absurd,
And bigamy, sir, is a crime!"
A bather whose clothing was strewed
By winds that left her quite nude,
Saw a man come along,
And unless we are wrong,
You expected this line to be lewd.
