Next Door Neighbors by Pat Sandy for May 12, 2023

Nantucket.

I know one where the 3rd and 4th don’t exactly rhyme: “A flea and a fly in a flu / Were imprisoned so what could they do? / Said the flea, ’Let us fly!” / Said the fly, “Let us flee!” / So they flew thru a flaw in the flue."

There was a young girl from PenzanceWho boarded the bus in a trance

All hail to ye old English ale…Norm.

County Limerick sits in Ireland’s southwest. Beside the Shannon Estuary, the city of Limerick is home to the 13th-century King John’s Castle, on an island in the river. Nearby, the Hunt Museum displays a vast collection of art and antiquities in the old customs house. Southeast of here, archaeological sites like the Grange Stone Circle dot the countryside around Lough Gur, in the Ballyhoura Mountains.

Limerick is one of Ireland’s oldest cities, with a Charter of Incorporation dating back to 1197!

The name ‘Limerick’ is an Anglicisation of the Irish name Luimneach, which means ‘the flat area’. This is an apt description of the county when compared to the mountainous terrain of the rest of Munster. Its highest point is Galtymore at 3,009ft.

…Okay!

A limerick packs laughs anatomical

In a form that is quite economical

But the good ones I’ve seen

So seldom are clean

And the clean ones so seldom are comical

There once was a man from NorwayWho hung by his heels from the doorwayAnd said to his spouse“Get off of the couchI think I’ve discovered one more way!”

Take a look at the comments over at “That Is Priceless”.

According to"Day by Dave" it’s also “Nutty Fudge Day” Certainly there must be a Fudge Limerick out there.
