Today's poetry corner

Today's poetry is a selection of "friendly" limericks. I'm keeping them clean for all the little ones out there. Still, some are funny enough...

There once was a lady named Perkins,

Who constantly doted on gherkins.

Ignoring advice,

She ate so much spice,

That she pickeled her internal workins'.

There was a young farmer from Leeds,

Who swallowed four packets of seeds.

It soon came to pass,

He wsa covered with grass,

And he couldn't sit down for the weeds.

There once was a lady from Hyde,

Who ate a green apple and died.

The apple fermented

While her family lamented,

And made cider inside her inside.

Out dining, an old alligator,

Was asked if he'd have coffee later.

He just shook his head,

And casually said,

"I was planning on having the waiter."
