Drawing of a clown holding a circle that says JOKES.
Limericks

There is a young girl named Nelle,
Who never does anything swell
Her greatest of joys
Is to go with the boys.
And she captures them all quite well.


Mary, Mary quite contrary,
Where does your talent lie;
“Comedy, tragedy, drama or farce?
Just so it’s acting,” say I.


Minnie is a daisy,
Minnie is a dear;
And Everywhere that Minnie goes,
There’s sunshine and good cheer.


I know a young girl, who had lots of fellers,
Her first name is Pearl, her last name is Sellars.
At first ’twas an “Apple,” then ’twas a “Cook.”
Then Hal Kitchen gave her a look,
So when she takes her cooking,
And for a nice man is looking,
She’ll have to have “Money”
To capture her honey.
If she’s never S-T-U-N-G a bit
She’ll take the whole outfit.
The “Kitchen”, the “Cook,” the “Apple and the Sellar”,
And perhaps sometime she’ll get a “Keller.”
