Limerick Poems
Longboat Key
by Joe Cyr
(limerick)
There’s a merchant from mid-Longboat Key
Where the City Council is quite uppity
“Your sign’s over an easement”
So he cut off in appeasement
Offending inches from his sign - barely three.
Limerick: There Was A Young Lady Of Norway,
by Edward Lear
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 Whose Chin
by Edward Lear
There was a Young Lady whose chin,
Resembled the point of a pin;
So she had it made sharp,
And purchased a harp,
And played several tunes with her chin.
Limerick: There Was An Old Man In A Boat
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man in a boat,
Who said, 'I'm afloat! I'm afloat!'
When they said, 'No! you aint!'
He was ready to faint,
That unhappy Old Man in a boat.
Limerick: There Was An Old Man Of Peru
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man of Peru,
Who never knew what he should do;
So he tore off his hair,
And behaved like a bear,
That intrinsic Old Man of Peru.
De mussen op het dak
by Mario Odekerken
De mussen,zo druk op het dak,
ze fluiten en vechten bij vlaag.
Met veren in draf,
en een vrolijke blaf,
maken zij van de dakrand een zaak.
Krugerpark
by Mario Odekerken
In Krugerpark loop leeus met trots,
langs olifante en buffels in klots.
Met sonsondergange,
en wild in die wange,
is dit wildernis sonder gebots.
Die alte Geige
by Mario Odekerken
Im Winkel,verstaubt und allein,
liegt eine Geige aus feinem Holzbein.
Ihr Klang längst verklungen,
doch Lieder gesungen
klingen nach-so zart und doch rein.
Never forget
by Mario Odekerken
There are moments we can't just reset,
etched in time like a sun that won't set.
Though years may go by,
and memories lie,
the heart holds on- never forget.
Europe
by Mario Odekerken
Through Europe we journey with flair,
past castles and markets and air.
From Rome to the Rhine,
with bread,cheese,and wine,
adventure awaits everywhere!
