As it is National Limerick Day, here are four limericks of mine.

 

Limerick #1

I murdered a woman named Stella

Her body is kept in the cellar

My alibi

Says I wasn't nearby

So it must have been some other fella

 

Limerick #2

A marathon runner named Mark

Went out for a jog in the park

He tripped on a log

And fell on a dog

Whose bite turned out worse than its bark

 

Limerick #3

A restorative stroll in the sun

Is a task that should daily be done

Here in the UK

It is best done in May

Between twelve and quarter to one

 

Limerick #4

I was ill, but it could have been worse

I was seen by a gorgeous young nurse

My proposal rejected

Instead I elected

To write of her beauty in verse
