Intellectuals think limericks non de trop

The pain was excruciatingly  sharp

As she plucked on the strings of my heart.

What she was after

I never even asked her

But her bowing was, to my mind, not smart.

 

Intellectuals think limericks  non de trop;

Incrementally better than faux.

But when times are inclement

Enjoy  a bright moment.

For one day we each have to go.

 

My bowels are a nuisance to me

Yet without them how bereft we would be

In fact we’d be  dead

And  as St  Paul said

The  glass is now dark,but we’ll see.

 

Pain  must be approached with some stealth

As aggravating it’s bad for our health

Accept it  and bear it

And never,ever fear it.

Relaxation is the best form of wealth

 

 

 

 

 

His voice was torment to my ear

Excruciating as a saw

that screeches as  it chews and jaws

His voice was torment to my ear

His odour filled canals  with tears

In short I hated his loud voice

But my parents made him  their first choice.

To disobey was quite a wrench

Until I recalled his woeful stench

Yet some lifebuoy  soap and elocution

lessons might have made this persecution

lessen and so  I could have

pleased my parents ,would I had.

Oh aha ,I ran away

And here I am with you today.

But where he is,no-one will say

His hat was sold just yesterday.

Much money

Today I got my increment

It’s annually inclement

I got my increment and so

To the shops I now will go

 

It’s only just  ten pence a week

My finances do look very bleak

But it will pay  for my cat’s tea

When I take him out on Saturday.

 

The bank manager was inclement

I blame it  on his temperament

Some  people have a stormy way

Of getting other folk to pay.

 

An increment is very small

It may  even seem like naught at all

But depending on its frequency

It may add up to big money.

 

Inclement are this government

In increasing the poor folks’ rent

True freedom is perception

And so this government has none.

 

Oh,woe is me and woe is thee

Let’s brew ourselves a cup of tea.

We’ll play some songs and dance a bit

Make some jokes and use our wits.
