Limericks

Reminds me of great walks in Devon
The smells and sights are just heaven
And those gorgeous cream teas
The buzzing of the bees

Not long until The University Boat Race
Who this year will wear a red face?
If either boat sinks
The loser buys the drinks

Reminds me of great walks in Devon
The smells and sights are just heaven
All those gorgeous cream teas
The buzzing of the bees
And not having to get up until seven

My flight home was ruined by the French

Not long until The University Boat Race
Who this year will wear a red face ?
If either boat sinks
The loser buys the drinks
And goes home in a state of disgrace

Spring migration has started , at last

My flight home was ruined by the French
Enough stress there to make your teeth clench
Whatever did the Froggies do?

Spring migration has started , at last
Now we've lost winter's final cold blast
Swallows will soon fly in

My flight home was ruined by the French
Enough stress there to make your teeth clench
Whatever did the Froggies do ?
They go on strike more often than they go to the loo

Spring migration has started, at last
Now we`ve lost winter`s final cold blast
Swallows will soon fly in
And nesting will begin

My flight home was ruined by the French
Enough stress there to make your teeth clench
Whatever did the Froggies do ?
They go on strike more often than they go to the loo
And leave you to sit on a very hard bench

It is Easter tomorrow and thoughts turn to eggs

Spring migration has started, at last
Now we`ve lost winter`s final cold blast
Swallows will soon fly in
And nesting will begin
And finally memories of winter will pass

Road works a plenty, tis holiday time

It is Easter tomorrow and thoughts turn to eggs
The ones made of chocolate that every child begs
But not any egg, the bigger the better!

Road works a plenty, tis holiday time
They sprout up all over, it's really a crime
Drivers spend their holidays sitting in jams

It is Easter tomorrow and thoughts turn to eggs
The ones made of chocolate that every child begs
But not any egg,the bigger the better
And not choccie buttons but the latest trendsetter
Just as long as it`s within EU regs

Katie passed through this morning

Road Works a plenty, `tis holiday time
They sprout up all over,it`s really a crime
Drivers spend their holidays sitting in jams
We go to the slaughter,like meek little lambs
We just can`t drive anywhere, we just mime

What a good weekend for English sport

Katie passed through this morning
Who was Katie? I am not knowing


What a good weekend for English sport
Yes the women rowers really needed a port!!

Katie passed through this morning
Who was Katie? I am not knowing
She was a bit wild
Headlong into trouble she piled

What a good weekend for English sport
Yes the women rowers really needed a port!!
That river was rough
And the pump seemed to be duff

It seems that now all storms have names
GB has a mixture of guys and dames

And then, for once, Cambridge beat Oxford
And did not ship much water on board

It seems that now all storms have names
GB has a mixture of guys and dames
There was Gertrude and Frank
Both equally mank

And then, for once, Cambridge beat Oxford
And did not ship much water on board
They made it look easy
Although slightly outdated and queasy

Exaggeration is one of the problems
Do a few showers count as severe weather systems?


Then both coxes got thrown in the river
Which put them all in a dither

Exaggeration is one of the problems
Do a few showers count as severe weather systems ?
It depends where you are


Then both Coxes got thrown in the river
Which put them all in a dither
Because they`re quite small

Exaggeration is one of the problems
Do a few showers count as severe weather systems ?
It depends where you are
But it's better by far
On your bike, to take care riding tandem!

Then both Coxes got thrown in the river
Which put them all in a dither
Because they`re quite small
'T'was a long way to fall
And it made many an onlooker quiver!

I need to take my bike out for a ride

It's the London Marathon this Sunday

I need to take my bike out for a ride
But the hard saddle I just can`t abide


It`s the London Marathon this Sunday
But some won`t finish `til Monday

I need to take my bike out for a ride
But the hard saddle I just can`t abide
A soft sprung one is much better


It`s the London Marathon this Sunday
But some won`t finish `til Monday
A few may even give up
