Five Limericks For Illustrious British Poets

George, an illustrious poet, no newcomer.
While planning a trip and enjoying a Rummer
Summed for Delhi the pros
But then changed and chose
To spend in Norwich his Indian Summer.

(for George Szirtes)
….............................................................








This capricious poet named Crucefix
Took no pleasure in rhyming limericks
The third and forth line
Indeed made him whine
And the fifth was too cumbersome to fix.

(for Martyn Crucefix)
….............................................................








A well-known poet of Mexborough
Sank in despondency and sorrough
For he knew of no song
To attract folks along
To the thoroughly worthseeing Mexborough.

(for Jan Park)
….................................................................








When Seán, poet and scholar, planned to retire
The students protested and cried in choir
Said he: “Now, it's time for leisure,
For amusement and pleasure.“
And set off to fulfil his plans and desires.

(for Seán Street)
…............................................................








Lucky Adele had a tree feller
Who couldn't wait to tell 'er
He wanted her photograph
As pay, and her autograph
On her latest best-seller.

(for Adele Ward)
