New Limerick Thread II 2016 (following New Limerick Thread)

A young girl just happened to pass
He said she’s certainly my class
I went to warn her

A young girl just happened to pass
He said she’s certainly my class

Next morning there was a cool breeze
I did rather hope he would freeze
He shivered and shook
And promoted his book
And fell asleep under the trees

A young girl just happened to pass

Next morning there was a cold breeze
I did rather hope he would freeze
He shivered and shook
And promoted his book

Next morning there was a cold breeze
I did rather hope he would freeze
He shivered and shook

Next morning there was a cool breeze
I did rather hope he would freeze

He was older and really not bright
He wooed us with songs through the night
But we needed sleep
We had to count sheep
So we gave up without a fight

Next morning there was a cool breeze

Here we go, action on both.

This heatwave is getting to me
It's already one hundred and three
Stripped down to my bra
I need a cool spa
And shade under a loved oak tree

He was older and really not bright
He wooed us with songs through the night
But we needed sleep
We had to count sheep

(This one got cut off in mid-limerick.)

This heatwave is getting to me
It's already one hundred and three
Stripped down to my bra
I need a cool spa

He was older and really not bright
He wooed us with songs through the night
But we needed sleep

He wooed us with songs through the night
(sorry)

He was older and really not bright
He wooed with songs through the night

If only those stories were real
Those aristos were the real deal
I’d be that house-maid
Even if underpaid
Who ended up with Lord Neil

He was older and really not bright

This heatwave is getting to me
It's already one hundred and three
Stripped down to my bra

This heatwave is getting to me
It's already one hundred and three

If only those stories were real
Those aristos were the real deal
I'd be that house maid
Even if underpaid
If I could their secrets reveal

This heatwave is getting to me

If only those stories were real
Those aristos were the real deal
I’d be that house-maid
Even if underpaid

If only those stories were real
Those aristos were the real deal
I’d be that house-maid

If only those stories were real
Those aristos were the real deal

Those folks who appear in our books
Thrill me more than those onscreen cooks
'Riders' by Cooper
Sexy and super
With plenty of charm and good looks

If only those stories were real!

Apologies to Elrel for re-writing to fit Limerick pattern.

Those folks who appear in our books
Thrill me more than those onscreen cooks
'Riders' by Cooper
Sexy and super

The folks who appear in our books
Thrill me more than those onscreen cooks
Sexy riders by dear Jilly Cooper

The folks who appear in our books
Thrill me more than those onscreen cooks

Their story became a best seller
A book one would hide in the cellar
I read it at night
Until it was light
Gosh, I wish he was a real fella!

The folks who appear in our books
