LIMERICKS (Apr ‘25)

Too many lines start with "Now"

Too many lines start with "Now"
But not too many start with "Pow!!!"

Sorry ignore. I thought there should be eight beats. It appears here should only be seven. My mistake.

Too many lines start with “Now”
This could start a great big row

(I assumed 8 8 5 5 8 in an ideal world but it doesn't matter overmuch to me? Or different here?)

Too many lines start with “Now”
This could start a great big row
We'd get in a fight

Too many lines start with a “Now”
This could start an almighty row
We'd get in a fight
Each saying ‘I’m right’

Too many lines start with a “Now”
This could start an almighty row
We'd get in a fight
Each saying ‘I’m right’
Till we make up and say "ciao"

I'd like to go to Sicily

I’d like to go to Sicily
I’ve heard there is so much to see

I'd like to go to Sicily
I've heard there is so much to see
Beautiful sights and fabulous wine

I’d like to go to Sicily
I’ve heard there is so much to see
It would be divine

I'd like to go to Sicily
I've heard there is so much to see
It would be divine
To eat and drink wine

I'd like to go to Sicily
I've heard there is so much to see
It would be divine
To eat and drink wine
And it isn't too far from Capri

Perhaps you could all come along

Perhaps you could all come along
And join me in Italian song

Perhaps you could all come along
And join me in Italian song
The words speak of love

Perhaps you could all come along
And join me in Italian song
The words speak of love
And feelings thereof

Perhaps you could all come along
And join me in Italian song
The words speak of love
And feelings thereof
Making our passions strong.

I once saw an elf in a tree

I once saw an elf in a tree
I beg you, you must believe me

I once saw an elf in a tree
I beg you, you must believe me
It was a real elf!

I once saw an elf in a tree
I beg you, you must believe me
It was a real elf!
I saw him myself

I once saw an elf in a tree
I beg you, you must believe me
It was a real elf!
I saw him myself
He said he had come from Dundee

Turned out that he was an actor

Turned out that he was an actor
Which was an important factor

Turned out he was an actor
Which was an important factor
His costume was good

Turned out he was an actor
Which was an important factor
His costume was good
With a hole in the hood

Turned out he was an actor
Which was an important factor
His costume was good
With a hole in the hood
But he drove off on a tractor

I would have liked to have a chat
