Three Critter Limericks
My turtle is really quite happy
He jokes in a voice that is yappy
He looks very well
Inside of his shell
But when he is out – oh, he’s snappy!
......
A gecko named Gary was gawking
At cute goslings as they were squawking
He hid in a rug
And gobbled a bug
Then slithered uphill without balking!
......
There was a young horsey named Maisie
Who loved being coddled and lazy
No “neigh”-sayer she
To cups of hay tea
Topped off with mint leaves and a daisy!
He jokes in a voice that is yappy
He looks very well
Inside of his shell
But when he is out – oh, he’s snappy!
......
A gecko named Gary was gawking
At cute goslings as they were squawking
He hid in a rug
And gobbled a bug
Then slithered uphill without balking!
......
There was a young horsey named Maisie
Who loved being coddled and lazy
No “neigh”-sayer she
To cups of hay tea
Topped off with mint leaves and a daisy!
