There's a would-be politician at the door
NO, I haven't the energy for more,

So his soul ascended to Heaven
And his sweetheart, with boyfriend in Devon
Tried to hide from the law
Didn't realise who saw
She didn't shut the curtains until seven.

There's a rumour The Baby's arrived!
He or she will never be deprived
Oh, but life in a gilded cage
certainly not the rage
And privacy always contrived

Let’s go back to henetha

His cottage was as neat as a pin
And he quickly plied her with gin
She was soon overcome
And according to some
She lost no time at all moving in.

And according to some
She committed the ultimate sin!

She eventually settled in Hove
Where she met an eccentric old cove
Well he had lots of dough
So worth giving it a go
Then to his brand new abode she drove.

(let's join them - v generous of you Juliet.)

So a pretty young lady from Eccles
Wanted to lose all her freckles
With a special solution she'd rub
Then have a soak in the tub
Before catching a fast train to Beccles

She eventually settled in Hove

*grandetante^ we should have put the thread rules at the start,but as we didn’t ,here they are-
Limericks are short poems of five lines having rhyme structure AABBA.
We each add a line in turn. smile

So a pretty young lady from Eccles
Wanted to lose all her freckles
With a special solution she'd rub
It took of her skin, not her freckles
She's now a sad lady from Eccles.

Grandma said, "Beauty is skin-deep"
