There once was a girl called Miranda,
Who was often inclined to philander,
She went to sleep
In the arms of a sheep,
And woke up in the arms of a parakeet

The Limerick Tinker

There was a young man from Nantucket.......on second thoughts,perhaps not.

The tune was the Limerick Tinker
But the key was a terrible stinker
Amid shouts and gripes
From the flutes and the pipes
The fiddlers couldn't be pinker!
