Out on a Limerick

 Whale of a Tale

  

   If old Ahab had known of the sale,

   He could have bought himself a whale,

   But he grabbed his harpoon

   Then threw it too soon

   And the whale he failed to impale.

  

  

   Black Friday

  

   The ads for the Black Friday sale

   Filled my box with colorful mail.

   But on the big day

   Someone got in my way.

   I shoved her. They took me to jail.

  

  

  

   Gold Digger

  

   The cute chick for whom Fred did fall

   Could not stand him, no not at all.

   But Fred had money,

   So she called him “honey,”

   And let him take her to the ball.

  

  

   Eve of Destruction

  

   Poor, old Adam after the fall,

   Was sure Eve had way too much gall.

   She’d said, “Here, take a taste.”

   Which he did in haste.

   But he’d never liked apples at all.
