Limericks--By Gerald Heyder--United States

Limericks

Meet Moe the private detective
who is truly ineffective,
he wouldn’t know a clue
if it stuck to his shoe
so he’s called the “eye” that’s defective.

Joe bought a big fancy boat
with a hefty check he wrote.
It bounced like a ball
and that’s not all,
Joe’s big boat doesn’t float!

Let us pity poor Paul
who is simply no athlete at all,
try as he might
he can’t get a strike
using a square bowling ball.

Gerald Heyder is a published poet from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
