CHRISTMAS LIMERICKS
SEASONABLE SENTIMENTS Yuletide is the season for greeting, Old friends are all happily meeting; Keep some of your store For the poor near your door, When a jolly good dinner you'ro eating. • * m » Here lies a maiden named Ida; Got 100 much plum pudding inside her. She cried: "Oh! What a thirst! I could drink till I burst!" So -she drank—and exploded "in cider." m 9 • ■ There was a young fellow named Smith Who waged Avar on the Santa Claus myth; But ere Christmas came rounds Out of work he was found, And Smith got a job as the myth. ■ * * ' * A careless young housewife in Crewe Stuffed the turkey, but upset some glue, Her guests sat repining, It suspended the dining, Till a dentist had sawn their teeth through, IB • • • There was a young lady of Wye, Baked a beautiful Christmas mincepie; But the family found, When the dainty went round, Each one feeding the dog on the sly.
