A fine effort sir.

There was a young poet from York
Who wrote many tomes about storks
You can't go wrong
With a bird that's so long
And brings babies to ladies and lords.

Man that one is walking a fine line! 😉

I try my luck (and hope that it not a complete failure)

Orange man

There was a man with orange hair
who led his friend to despair
he wouldn't accept
anything for a fact
that didn't come out of his rear.

Well it is much better than mine!

this bird of mine could not hold a tune
would sit in his cage stare at the moon
a songbird you're not
your throats in a knot
so I'll teach you how to play a bassoon

I'm done
this should get some thumbs up

lemondrop proclaimed he was out
but the temptation was much too stout
he's a freak and a cad
quasimodo type sad
all the rest us can do is pout

I know a lad who lies all the time
people forgive him he's very kind
sings in the choir
but still such a liar
would always help you out of a bind

I was truthful at the time
just getting bored
under lockdown again

A man who lived in the Bahamas
Got fed up with life's little dramas
So he gave up employment
Now he lives for enjoyment
And spends his life in his pyjamas.

Forgot to give it a title, let's call it;

Nightwear.

There was a man from Manchester
who had some fame as a jester
he created a rhyme
and spiced it with thyme
but that turned off his investor

off Topic: The Limerick Competition has the first eight places in the recommended thread list I think this is an achievement!

My bad, the cheese is called "Chester" in Germany but in Britain it is called Cheshire cheese…

So disregard the entry

You don't have to disregard anything. I didn't know Chester was what they called cheese in Germany. I'll have to look that up, you see one can always learn new things.

Entry accepted.

No one (as far as I know) has attempted to eat the city of Chester but there's a first time for everything. And Cheshire cheese isn't up to much.
