a boy stood on a burning deck
a pocket full crackers
the mouse ran up
Trousers and bit away his
KNACKERS!

hey madeleine, thanks for the fun. a word of caution: one of the following three limericks contains a direct reference to “Peshtigo pigeon pate”

A hard-working mother named May
Drove home in her old Chevrolet
The windows were frosted
And though May was exhausted
She felt pretty good anyway

A hard-working mother named May
Wrote this to her friend in Calais
“My kids drive me nuts
My husband’s a putz
Could I visit you for a day?”

A hard-working mother named May
Arranged her hors d’oeuvres on a tray:
Haggis with rice
Mothballs on ice
And Peshtigo pigeon pate

A hard-working mother named May
she now regrets this Mother’s day
for without having sex,
by reasons complex,
another two are on their way

Here’s the limerick I put in my Mum’s card on Mothers’ Day:

Here are some words just to say
I love you on this Mothers’ Day
You’re Thoughtful and Sharing
And Loving and Caring
And supportive in every way

It made her cry

You are the best that I can see.
You are the woman I wan to be.
Thank you mum for your caring touch,
Which means to me so much.
Dear mom, you mean the world to me…

There once was a wonderful mother,
who gave me a sister and brother,
though sometimes we fight,
it turns out all right,
’cause she is a mom like no other.

A mother cares not for your rank,
Or how much you have in the bank.
To her you’re the youngster
She reared and looked after,
And one day it’s her that you’ll thank.
