As wed reached the max on LIMERICKS 6 I'm starting this new one with its last entry

We're moving stuff for carpet laying
Must get it done, no more delaying
Husband's complaining
The effort’s so draining
Hope worth it for all that we're paying

Now that Limerick rhythm was great!

He once was a gorgeous Adonis
But I wish when we met I had known this
His gums are all bare
And he`s lost all his hair
I don't think the two of us will kiss.

My mum was a one-legged diver

My Mum was a one-legged diver
She'd get you a pearl for a fiver

My mum was a one-legged diver
Who snorkeled all over the Niger

Sorry bradford, we crossed lines. Let me try the next line.

My Mum was a one-legged diver
She'd get you a pearl for a fiver
On her way to the boat

My Mum was a one-legged diver
She'd get you a pearl for a fiver
On her way to the boat
She tripped and went afloat

That woman, she was some survivor.

She grabbed on to the foot of a tailor ...

Sorry, Sailor!

She grabbed on to the foot of a sailor...
Which turned him a shade much paler

Which turned him a shade much paler
He tried to shake her loose

Which turned him a shade much paler
He tried to shake her loose
She hung on like a moose

She hung on like a moose
"Help!" He shouted, "Where's my loud-hailer?"

His brother was a bookish bloke from Bury

His brother was a bookish bloke from Bury
While his sister owned a shop in county Kerry

His mother she did teach
And his father preached

While his sister owned a shop in county Kerry
His mother she did teach
And his father preached
A dreary family who never got merry!

Someone poisoned their ale

That put to an end my high jinks.

With all high spirits and mirth
Giggles and squeals
She served jellied eels
While forever increasing her girth
