"Three Limericks About the Seaside"
A child on the beach, what a dear,
Said, “Mummy, let me bury you here!”
He buried her deep,
She started to weep,
Then drowned when the sea drew back near.
------
A swimmer who wandered too far
Felt a sting like the burn of a star.
He thrashed in the foam,
Too panicked to roam,
And sank while the jelly said "Ha!"
------
A couple who paddled with ease
Let their boat go slack in the breeze.
They bobbed in the deep,
In careless, calm sleep,
Till a tanker erased all their pleas.
