Limericks Appearing in Newspapers and Magazines

  Salvo

  Sixty-two, forty-one gun salutes
  Are the king's birthday salvo, which toots,
  Loud and long, years progressed—
  Viz., two sevens abreast ...
  One is puzzled by how that computes!

  Sorry

  Say sorry, Keir Starmer. Good heavens!
  Obedient under-elevens
  Remained rather quiet,
  Refraining from riot ...
  Yet now they're at sixes and sevens!
