    'Tis a favourite project of mine,
    A new value of pi to assign.
    I would fix it at 3,
    For it's simpler, you see,
    Than 3 point 1 4 1 5 9
    An exceedingly fat friend of mine,
    When asked at what hour he'd dine,
    Replied, "At eleven,
    At three, five, and seven,
    And eight and a quarter past nine.

    Dear Lollipop I simply loved those
    Verse is so much more interesting than prose
    If you love limmericks
    You'd get a huge kick
    By getting a daily dose

    Where do you find them you ask
    That is no difficult task
    Check the left column in my blog
    And there you can log
    In the joy of daily limmericks to bask

    There was an old woman who loved "scrabble"
    It was better than hearing herself babble
    So she signed up for a game
    No two games were the same
    She enjoyed in new words to dabble.


    There was a woman who was older
    That she was a mother-in-law made her a lot bolder
    She threw her weight around
    And everyone round her finger she wound
    But her daughter-in-law gave her a cold shoulder


    There was a woman so proud
    She lived with her in a cloud
    She ate jam and honey
    And had so much of money
    That of satin and gold they made her a shroud

    Hi Satchithanand... Here are are a few:


    A gal who seemed guileless and sweet
    Was nothing but a blatant cheat,
    She’d pretend and lie
    And when caught, she’d cry,
    Or Whine, whimper and bleat.


    A gal who seemed guileless and sweet,
    Would wheedle her pals for treat,
    She’d wash down full meal,
    And wolf down with zeal,
    And gobble up till she’s replete.


    A man who could never say ‘No’,
    Wanted to buy a swanky Peugeot
    But filled with all rancor
    His wife bought his Banker
    Who placed all his dough as escrow.


    A gal who could never say ‘No’
    Was spotted in Monaco’s casino
    Playing Blackjack or poker
    No one could stop ‘er
    from Pachinko, Bingo or Keno.


    A fellow was playing with fire
    When he got a good PI on hire
    To shadow his wife
    But ended in strife
    Her ire was all he did acquire


    .... and a raunchy one..... pardon me but limericks are meant to be raunchy...right?


    A fellow was playing with fire
    When he hitched up his kilt a bit higher
    As he twirled an’ he whirled
    His kilt got (oops!) unfurled
    Setting lasses afire with desire!
