Friday Limericks   Written by Carol (9/24/2010 12:21 a.m.)
Are you new?

All right folks you asked for Friday, so here they are. I think we've got a good batch this week! Please Vote!

#1:Mrs. Norris goes to Sotherton

A party from Mansfield Park
To Sotherton went on a lark.
We had such a grand day,
And such gifts brought away!
And it all came from my chance remark.

#2

Aunt, you've been spunging, I see"
"Niece, I've done well, I agree
I tried to say no
But they wouldn't let me go
'Til they'd forced these goodies upon me."

#3
Miss Crawford remarked in the chapel
That each generation mayhap'll
Drift away more and more
From old customs that bore,
Yet STILL she was Edmund's eye's apple.

#4
Mr. Rushworth’s dullness abounds

Although he has 12,000 pounds

He is such a big dolt

In his taffeta coat

He’ll look just as dumb as he sounds.

#5
Maria is playing with fire

And getting herself in the mire

By flirting too much

With that ‘such and such’!

That Henry is such a big liar.

#6
Hey Ho they go to Sotherton
Yon is the locked gate of iron
so Rushworth goes back
for keys without slack
not knowing his going, a pun

#8 This one has two verses:

Prayers and parsons Miss Crawford did mock
So it came as a terrible shock
When Edmund explained
That he'll soon be ordained.
Thinks Mary -This plan I must block!

Young Fanny's too angry to speak.
Ed's reaction is really quite weak,
Which isn't so strange
For his wits are deranged
By the blush upon Mary's fair cheek.

#9
While Sir Thomas was gone far away
All at Mansfield were planning a play.
This suited Maria,
But there's reason to fear
Henry Crawford will lead her astray.

#10
Mrs N. thought it quite a good wheeze
Spunging eggs and a heath and a cheese.
She's mean and she's greedy
And claims that she's needy,
So free goodies are certain to please.

So how fun is this? Reward our authors by voting, please! VOTE!
