Limericks 13

A buxom young lady from Pinner
Decided she wanted to be thinner
She measured her girth
And thought she was worth
it, so decided to go without dinner.

But oh, how her tummy rumbled in protest

oh, how her tummy rumbled in protest
And quickly she found she’d lost all her zest

oh, how her tummy rumbled in protest
And quickly she found she’d lost all her zest
Her energy was nil

oh, how her tummy rumbled in protest
And quickly she found she’d lost all her zest
Her energy was nil
So she ate her fill

I’ll join SlimmingWorld, and the fat will melt away
But it wasn't that easy

Oh well", she thought, tomorrow is another day
I’ll join SlimmingWorld, and the fat will melt away
But it wasn't that easy

But sad is the tale I must tell

But sad is the tale I must tell
Her appetite she just couldn’t quell

But sad is the tale I must tell
Her appetite she just couldn’t quell
Growing more obese

But sad is the tale I must tell
Her appetite she just couldn't quell
Growing more obese
Her eating didn't cease

But sad is the tale I must tell
Her appetite she just couldn't quell
Growing more obese
Her eating didn't cease
Slimming takes more than a magic spell

I can’t wait to go travelling again

I can’t wait to go travelling again
This lockdown will drive me insane

I can't wait to go travelling again
This lockdown will drive me insane
Oh! Those foreign climes

I can't wait to go travelling again
This lockdown will drive me insane
Oh! Those foreign climes
Such wonderful times

I can't wait to go travelling again
This lockdown will drive me insane
Oh! Those foreign climes
Such wonderful times,
but we're locked down, oh what a pain!

When it's over, I think I'll go mad

Welcome, grandtante

When it's over, I think I'll go mad
I'm ready on the launch pad

When it's over, I think I'll go mad
I'm ready on the launch pad
I won't be held back

When it's over, I think I'll go mad
I'm ready on the launch pad
I won't be held back
My cases I'll pack

When it's over, I think I'll go mad
I'm ready on the launch pad
I won't be held back
My cases I'll pack
And I'll be on my way to Trinidad

Just a week to Midsummer Day

Just a week to Midsummer Day
In Ireland it’s Beltane they say

Just a week to Midsummer Day
In Ireland it's Beltane they say
Whatever you call it

Just a week to Midsummer Day
In Ireland it's Beltane they say
Whatever you call it
Let's hope it's sunlit

Just a week to Midsummer Day
In Ireland it's Beltane they say
Whatever you call it
Let's hope it's sunlit
And not the usual dull and grey.
