Thanks Josie, for kicking off this string of limericks - what fun!
Cheers!
John X
Melrose Man
Our silly old man from Melrose
mistook his dear wife for his nose.
When he tried to blow it -
well, wouldn't you know it? -
their marital bliss simply froze.
Most contrite, he became lacrimose
and took to consulting his toes
on matters romantic.
He was really quite frantic -
what they told him, nobody knows.
His wife took to gin, as it goes,
and went through sheer hell, we suppose.
On calm reappraisal,
he still thinks she's nasal,
does our silly old man from Melrose.

Written by frenchy (19 comments posted) 8th March 2009 | Acrimonious man from Melrose
admonished his wife as it goes.
He made her abase,
she smacked him round the face,
now he’s out buying her clothes.

Who wore nothing but socks for his toes
When the cold wind did blow
And then we had snow
He found all his extremities froze (n) I suppose
Come on everyone, give him a rest:
Now:
A certain shopkeeper from Norwich - - - -
Liked to put salt on his porridge -
ha ha - Well done John! Glad you enjoyed that one. |
