These limericks are rather clever. “Please, sir, I want some more.”
I been wukkin’ on de railroad
All de livelong day,
Ter pass de time away.
Doan’ yuh hyah de whistle blowin’?
Ris up, so uhly in de mawn;
Doan’ yuh hyah de cap’n shouin’,
“Dinah, blow yo’ hawn?”
Francis’ tombstones read…" He didn’t see it coming" ‼️
When chasing after some other / remember this, my dear brother: / a bit of free nookie / is no fortune cookie / and payback’s really a mother.
Strikingly effective as a sort of (mostly) “blank limerick” — with “blank” meaning unrhymed, as in blank verse. For it to actually be a limerick, Francis, Texas, and Census would have to actually rhyme, which (spoiler alert!) they don’t.
