kids' (of all ages) limericks

Sir Cassie the Cross Eyed Cat, with magenta crossed eyes.

SIR CASSIE, THE CROSS-EYED CAT

You’ve heard of “The Cat in the Hat”?

(If you haven’t, drop this and read THAT!)

Well, the cat of this verse

Isn’t better or worse…

But he’s different—so I’ll explain that.


His left eye is sparkling and bright

But can only see things on the right.

His right eye is deft

At seeing things left

So his eyes cross a path day and night.


Our cross-eyed cat’s name was Miss Cassie

But he was a lad, not a lassie.

It made not a whit

Of difference—it

Just made him seem silly and sassy.


We thought her a girl when we got her

(A gift to our young son and daughter)

And her name wasn’t “Sir”

‘Cause we thought him a her

The man told us that when we bought her.


But quite soon we would realize that

Our cross-eyed  cat wasn’t just that—

Oh, my! She’s a he!

Just look at him—-see?

Miss Cassie’s a “sir” of a cat!


It’s a little bit weird and yet tender

To discover a pet’s a new gender!

We had known the eyes crossed

But the sex had been lost!

And that makes a great limerick ender!


FIDDLE WHITTLE RIDDLE

Dittany fittani whittle

I’m feeling as fit as a fiddle

How would  some fiddles  fit

If they don’t feel like it?

That’s a really, ideally  riddle!


TWO LIMERICKS FOR LITTLE ONES   

A farmer named Piddley-Puddle

Got all of his ducks in a muddle

Instead of “quack quack”

They said “stop and go back!”

And forgot even how they should waddle!


You’ve heard of old Lickety Split?

When young he could run quite a bit

But as he got old

So the story is told…..

His legs just got up and they git!

     

NURSERY RHYMES 

What cow ever high-jumped the moon?

That must have been said by some goon! 

A cow couldn’t jump
Over even a pump!
Oh—-maybe it went by balloon!! 


What spoon ran away with a dish?
Now you know, try as hard as you wish

Neither one is so fleet
Or even has feet!!!
Though....we do know there ARE flying fish!!! 


COMPUTER LEARNING

What’s it like to be schooled in your house?

Do you put on a clean shirt or blouse?

And neaten your hair

When the only one there

Is a screen (with some pics) and—a mouse!


Well, of course your teacher’s there too—

Working hard just so students like you

Can grow—sure,  it’s rough

Remote learning is tough!

But stick with it; you'll be proud when you’re through!


THE DOGLESS LAMENT

(not a limerick)

I’ve never had a dog, no sir,

I’ve never had a pup

I hate to tell you that, but see,

I’m anxious to ‘fess up


I had a kitty cat once—

Her name was George, but she

Was really feminine, and did

n’t stay too long with me


“Cause she belonged to someone else

Who’s mother, anti-cat—

Was visiting from overseas

So I (good friend) at that


Took George while mama visited

(My memory’s kinda foggy)—-

We got on well, did George and I

But I’ve never had a doggy!


ELECTION OVER

The election is over—it’s done!

But we can’t just relax and have fun!

The country is split

And the problem is it

Needs a lot of big problems undone!


Yes, we now have a big job to do—

And we all can help out, even you!

Try a walk in the shoes

Of the people who lose—

And you may find yourself helping, too!



HOW TO READ —and maybe write—A LIMERICK

There was a young lady named Pearl

Who lived all her life in a whirl

She would go out for sports

In her tee shirt and shorts

And the audience cried, “Atta girl!”


Now, read this next verse just like that:

Your voice should be lilting, not flat.

The middle, you see,

Could rhyme a, b, c, d,

But the last line? Sat, rat, fat or bat!


What’s hard is to do a good rhyme

(Tho you can do something silly, like I’m!)

If you stick to the patter

That makes it all matter

You’re a limerick writer, big time!


DINOSAURS  

(not a limerick)

(and not for the littlest ones)


Dinosaurs’ food was complicated!

Learning what one liked and ate, it

Seems an herbivore still traded

What we’d think was veggie plated.

Fish and bugs capitulated

To their appetite to sate it.


My info may be long out-dated

You’d better check to regulate it!


CELL PHONES

There’s a time and a place for that phone

(Did I just now hear all of you groan?)

If you go out to eat

With your parents—a treat!

Please, please PLEASE leave that gadget alone!

What, you say, YOUR parents use it?

Oh dear, let’s hope THEY don’t confuse it

With real conversation !

Misplaced concentration

Is what happens when folks tend to choose it.

A dinner out SHOULD be a treat!

Where you talk as a group when you meet

I say, please don’t let’s risk

Family time, tsk tsk tsk!

Won’t you try it the next time you eat?


BOOGERS 

That booger belongs in a tissue!

And not anywhere near where I kiss you

No, it isn’t like sugar

Please get rid of that booger!

Or someone is likely to squish you! 


BODY PARTS 

Your body goes down from the top—

You can tell me when I ought to stop!

The head holds your brain

(Like: get out of the rain!)

And your hair’s what a barber will chop!

Your eyes, nose and mouth fill your face.

Keep that clean or go down in disgrace!

Below those are your chin

Above your chin is your grin!

And your neck holds them all in their place.

Way down at the bottom are toes, ’n’

If it really gets cold, they get frozen!

They are part of your feet—

And can beat a retreat

If you’re chased by a bear—-just supposin’!
