Lizzie Borden bought an axe
She made her father pay the tax
When she saw how much it was
she chopped him up and called the fuzz

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard,
To get her poor dog some bread;
When she got there,
The cupboard was bare,
So he ate Mother Hubbard instead.

There once was a man named Fred
Who discovered a flea on his head
He found eggs that it laid
So he kept spraying with Raid
Till both he and the flea were dead.

There once was a man from Nantucket

His wife was going to read
but in the bucket he'd peed
so she ended up saying " aw..f**k it "

I travel thru the cities
I entertain the biddies
When they say " Ask the bloke, if he knows a joke "
I say " No, all I do is ditties "

When I was in 8th grade I would sneak into my English class minutes before anyone else arrived and write a limerick on the chalkboard. I printed it with my left hand and would purposely misspell a word or two so the teacher couldn't recognize the handwriting. I did that every day for 3 weeks and she never said anything about it. One day I missed school because of a dentist appointment and when I showed up in class the next day the teacher came in right after I did and looked at the cleaned chalkboard and said " I missed you yesterday. " I asked her if she knew it was me the whole time and she replied, " Of course I did, you're the only one in my class with that kind of mind. " And to think I was worried about her recognizing my handwriting. I wrote a few more for her before the school year ended. Sometimes I wonder if all those limericks gave me the passing grade.

Hey diddle diddle, the cat has a riddle
" Why did the cow jump over the moon? "
The little dog pondered,then scratched his head
" I don't know, but I hope you tell me soon. "
