The gown and the date are set,
caterers and florists I’ve met.
The hall has been booked,
no detail overlooked
Wait…I don’t have a groom just yet!
There once was a very young rat
who thought himself a big, black bat.
So, he leapt off a chair
and flew through the air
Straight into the jaws of a cat!

Loved them. How about this?
A Texas politician, once dead,
Was too big for the casket they said.
Then, although he had died,
An enema was tried.
Now he rests in a box made for bread.
These are a treat – and very clever. Limericks can be tricky to “pull off” … I’ve yet to write one that I’m satisfied with; though having-a-go at them is so much fun.
These are both well written limericks with strong rhymes and meter. They are humorous and I enjoyed them both. Keep on writing.
I think I know that rat!
