July 23 Limerick (continuation of July 21)

My neighbour Rex, he is a pest
He makes sure I get no rest
He barks day and night !
He's not very bright
My other neighbour (Felix) is best

Either asleep or loves a stroke

Either asleep or loves a stroke
And, thank goodness, he's not yet 'woke'

Either asleep or loves a stroke
And, thank goodness, he's not yet 'woke'
He's here on the mat

Either asleep or loves a stroke
And, thank goodness, he’s not yet “woke”
He’s here on the mat
Beside the dear cat

Either asleep or loves a stroke
And, thank goodness, he’s not yet “woke”
He’s here on the mat
Beside the dear cat
Having a sip of Diet Coke

I’m paying the price, all bum and tum
Probably why I feel so glum
Wish I could be slim
Have to join a gym
And work out till it all feels numb

Great, but I'm going out for a hike,
The scenery is fine

Great, but I'm going out for a hike,
The scenery is fine
The sun might just shine
Gran will join me on her red trike

Like Pied Piper, kids follow her

Like Pied Piper, kids follow her
Though she sees everything in a blur

Like Pied Piper, kids follow her
Though she sees everything in a blur
A little deaf too

Though she sees everything in a blur
A little deaf too
And dressed all in blue

Though she sees everything in a blur
A little deaf too
And dressed all in blue
And a neck scarf made of fake fur

Stick his Airfix models with glue,
