1.   A creature of charm is the gerbil.  It's diets exclusively herbal:  It grazes all day on bundles of hay passing gas with an elegant burble.

 

2.   I know a school boy from Dubai, Who was baked by mistake in a pie, To his mother's disgust He emergized through the crust And exclaimed, "What a good boy am I."

 

3.   There once were two cats from Kilkenny.  Each thought that was cats too many.  So they started to fight and to scratch and to bite - now, instead of two cats, there aren't any.

 

4.   I know a young fellow named Vin Who is really remarkably thin.  When he carries a pole people say, "Bless my soul!!"    What a shock to find you've a twin!!

 

5.   There once was a man from Peru Who dreamt that he swallowed his shoe.  He woke up in a fright in the middle of the night To learn that his dream had come true.

 

6.   There was a princess named Jinx Who was asked what she thought of the Sphinx.  She replied with a smile, "That old fraud by the the Nile?"  "I presently think that she stinks."

 

7.   I know this big owl named Steve Who stays up all night yelling "Hoo" Once an old man walked by and he started to cry  And answered, "I don't have a clue."

 

8.   There once was a farmer from Leeds, Who swallowed a packet of seeds, It soon came to pass, He was covered with grass, But has all the tomatoes he needs.

 

9.   An elderly man called Keith, Mislaid his set of false teeth, They'd been laid on a chair, He's forgotten they were there, Sat down, and was bitten beneath.

 

10.   There once was a lady named Sue Who had nothing whatever to do And who did it so badly I thought she would gladly Have stopped before she was through.

@Lindsays Grandma 

I just wrote one myself

 

 

 

There once was a girl from the Q,
She laughed cause she knew what to do.
She hawked her product right,
And you ordered tonight.
And now it’s on it's way to you.
