Deb was a Spider from Mars
Who loved to eat choc-o-late bars.
At Ljubljana or Laibach
She thought of England; that's kack!
She mozied to Munich for Oompahs.
A young man from a Heidelberg Korps
A young man from a Heidelberg Korps
Thought that most of the Prussians were bores
But a Teutonic Knight
Spoiling for a fight
Thought it right that he should declare war
By contrast, a soldier from Essen
Wanted to teach everybody a lesson
So he loaded his gun
With a large current bun
Which he'd bought from the delicatessen.
A custard and whipped cream confection
A custard and whipped cream confection
Went inside a tin for protection
They rolled through the streets
Through country, past bleats
They've now lost all sense of direction
An upstanding person from Warwick
And her very good friend, called Yorick
Were treated to lunch
By a friend named Rick Funch
When the bill came they said, "Are you sure, Rick?"
In a field near to Kettering fair
All the world flocked to Greenbelt, went there
When a hole in my tent
Made the canvas all rent
And let in the rain and cold air!
A three-legged hamster called Joe
Was concerned at the shape of each toe.
He climbed the high wire
His balance was dire
But said let's get on with the show!
I woke to grey clouds and damp rain
To rise from my bed was a pain
I stretched with a yawn
It was only just dawn
So I turned over and went to sleep again.
There was once a small infant called Dotty
Who woke wanting to use the potty.
She was one of quintuplets
Her mum had said "Rupe, let's
Now they had five cots - Cot A to Cot E
Now Rupe was so proud of his quiver
That he bought them a boat for the river.
The river, alas was the Nile
Where a hungry crocodile
Reduced A to E to a sliver.
So parents when choosing pursuits
That will educate your little shoots
So parents when choosing pursuits
That will educate your little shoots
Give them Potter and Finnigan
And some good ol Spike Milligan
To get them all laughing in hoots
A laughing hyena on the plain
Rejoiced in the name of Plain Jane
But another hyena
Had a name that was meaner
And it was that one that rose to quick fame.

Or have the correct rhythm for a limerick either ! Perhaps
A limerick penned by said Ken
Was read by a critic called Ben
Who said it was worse
Than most other verse
Because the last line didn’t have rhyme
I was happy with my version
Ha ha vg tick @Spike
A new start:
A spider creating a web
Began the first side in Zagreb
Began the first side in Zagreb
Shelob was her name
A demon of fame

Shelob was her name
A demon of fame
But was helped with the web by friend Deb

The fire of his eyes
Burning bright
An immortal hand framed his symmetry

If it’s a good old belly chuckle you’re after
