A sweet baritone from Havanna
while singing, slipped on a banana.
He took rest for one year,
then resumed his career -
as a promising lyric soprana.

There was a young lady named Twilling,
who went to her dentist for drilling.
Because of depravity

now Twilling is nursing her filling.

Just rescue whole mankind from sinning...
We hope, that the story
will end in God's glory -
but at present the other side's winning...

There was a young man from Nigeria,
Whose manners were very inferior.
He did that to a nun
What no man had done.
And now she's a Mother Superior.

There once was a dentist named Stone
Who saw all his patients alone.
In a fit of depravity
He filled the wrong cavity,
And my! how his practice has grown!

One more:
There was an old lady of Harrow
Whose views were exceedingly narrow;
At the end of her paths,
She built two bird baths -
For the different sexes of sparrow.

There was a young man who said "Gee -
it seems that I see that I see.
But what always escapes me
is that 'I' that sees me,
when I see that I see that I see!"
(Hatte ich vor vielen Jahren mal aus dem Englischen übersetzt, und
musste ihn jetzt rückübersetzen, weil ich das Original nicht mehr fand
)
it seems that I see that I see.
But what always escapes me
is that 'I' that sees me,
when I see that I see that I see!"

I copied this Limerick
There was a young lady from Thrace
whose corset grew too tight to lace.
Her mother said: "Nelly -
there's more in your belly
than ever went in through your face!"
