Limericks Appearing in Newspapers and Magazines



  I would call OAPs on a yacht
  Very peaceful. The Russians think not.
  For relaxing at sea,
  Shouldn't photographs be
  The sole meaning of taking a shot?

  Major

  Mighty poets have judged 'not to be'
  A relief, but for mighty old me,
  Judging Major at peace
  Offers no sweet release:
  RIP's no re-leaf for a tree!

  Happy

  Happy vowels are apt to convey
  A class background. But shouldn't the way
  Posher accent confounds
  Proletarian sounds
  Yell "Who cares?—if you're happy, hooray!"?

  Fans of sitcoms lay many a wreath
  For much-loved Dame Penelope Keith.
  She excelled at the job
  Of portraying a snob—
  With a genuine kindness beneath!
