Best Local Limerick Awards 2007 - Selection of Entries So Far
Here are a few of our favourite entries so far. Thanks to everyone who's been taking part. There's still plenty of time to enter, so do have a go!
Yarm
There once was a fellow from Yarm, he
Took up (for some sport), origami.
But his wife simply scolded
(His marriage then folded) -
I don't blame him, he's left for the army!
by Doug Harris, Stockton-on-Tees
Rudheath
There was an old man from Rudheath
Who had trouble with a set of false teeth
They weren't his own
He had them on loan
From the chap he lived underneath
by Olwyn Dean, Northwich, Cheshire
York
There was a young Maiden from York,
Who thought she could sing just like Bjork.
She sang with a harp
But went terribly sharp
So they bunged up her throat with a cork.
by Don Nixon, Albrighton, Shropshire
Crouch End
I'm sure it would slightly offend
The professor who lives in Crouch End
If you described evolution
As a form of pollution
That was driving us all round the bend!
by Geoff Martin
Cheltenham
The Irish descend each year
On Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
To frequent the Gold Cup
Where they bet and they sup
On whisky, Guinness and beer
by Mrs Vivien Wiggall, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
