There was a Young Lady of Norway,
Who casually sat on a doorway;
When the door squeezed her flat,
She exclaimed, 'What of that?'
This courageous Young Lady of Norway.
Limerick:There Was A Young Lady Of Russia

Who screamed so that no one could hush her;
Her screams were extreme,--

As was screamed by that Lady from Russia.
There Was A Young Lady Whose Eyes
by Edward Lear
There was a young lady whose eyes,
were unique as to colour and size;
When she opened them wide,
people all turned aside,
and started away in surprise.
Mr. Shyama Prasad
by Pallab Chaudhury
Being in love Mr. Shyama
Was looking like Fujiyama.
By now, he- a cool lover!
No one thinks for ever
He too, had carried magma!

Limerick: There Was A Young Lady Of Tyre
by Edward Lear
There was a Young Lady of Tyre,
Who swept the loud chords of a lyre;
At the sound of each sweep
She enraptured the deep,
And enchanted the city of Tyre.

with words like a wave on the sand
His verses would dance,
in a wild,rhythmic trance,
capturing life's beauty unplanned.

The Truth Beneath the Make-up (A Limerick)
by Graham Ereks
There was once a lady on whom I had a crush
She was crystal fair but never had a good brush
Stripped her of her make-up only to see the real her;
This lady I loved and cherished was but a pig-stir.
Ah, Lord knows I surely needed the inestimable dash!
Limerick
by Pijush Biswas
One bird was singing full mouthed on branch
And it's maxim made all humans dance
Thus days go on, but suddenly came storm
And the branch fell, the maxim had no norm
That she only shout'd, now hasn't chance.
