Limericks (July 23)

I like to keep the land in sight
I fear the sea and all its might
I’d love to jump in
If there's no big fin
But I usually give in to my fright

Some people go swimming with sharks

I like to keep the land in sight
I fear the sea and all its might
I’d love to jump in
If there's no big fin

I like to keep the land in sight
I fear the sea and all its might
I’d love to jump in

I like to keep the land in sight
I fear the sea and its great might

There once was an old whale called Tin
Who had rope wrapped round a fin,
It caused him much pain
To swim was a strain
We freed him, he gave us a grin

There was an old whale called Tin
Who had rope wrapped around a fin,

There was an old whale called Tin
Who had rope wrapped around a fin
His cries could be heard

There was an old whale called Tin
Who had rope wrapped around a fin

Elephant said, ‘shelter in here’
I can offer a glass of beer
Some food would be good
With trifle for pud
Stay safe with me here and be near

There was an old whale called Tin

Elephant said, "shelter in here"
I can offer a glass of beer,
Some food would be good
With trifle for pud

Elephant said, "shelter in here"
I can offer a glass of beer,
Some food would be good

An elephant crossing the road
Came upon a small rain-soaked toad
He hopped round the bend
Looking for a friend
And hopefully, a dry abode

Elephant said, "shelter in here"

An elephant crossing the road
Came upon a small rain-soaked toad
He hopped round the bend
Looking for a friend

An elephant crossing the road
Came upon a small rain-soaked toad
He hopped round the bend

eat it slowly, piece by piece
The taste I savour with much ease
I love to eat cake
My senses awake
Hope my love for desserts never shall cease

An elephant crossing the road

eat it slowly, piece by piece
The taste I savour with much ease
I love to eat cake
My senses awake

I eat it slowly, piece by piece
The taste I savour with much ease
I love to eat cake

I eat it slowly, piece by piece
The taste I savour with much ease

Mum says I have a ‘vacant’ look
Especially when I have to cook
When she calls, I hide
Then made cake with pride
Which I put in a secret nook

I eat it slowly, piece by piece

Mum says I have a ‘vacant’ look
Especially when I have to cook
When she calls, I hide
Then made cake with pride

Mum says I have a ‘vacant’ look
Especially when I have to cook
When she calls, I hide

Mum says I have a ‘vacant’ look
Especially when I have to cook
