Limericks

Seagulls

Before they would flock to the ships
when trawlers returned from their trips.
But, now they don't bother,
just hang 'round the harbour,
it's easier, fishing for chips.


Nature

Old Cyril the Squirrel was worried.
With winter approaching he scurried
hither and yon
the whole day long
in search of the nuts he had buried.
