A Month of Limericks

Part 2

Here’s the second batch of limericks. Let me know which ones you like in the comments.

10.
A man from Albuquerque
Was awfully fond of beef jerky.
There was never enough,
He even would stuff
It inside his Thanksgiving turkey.

11.
A man from New Mexico said,
“When the sun sets I stand on my head.
When I’m perched upside down
On top of my crown
It looks like it’s rising instead!”

12.
A magician once summoned a fiend;
In a pentagram quite quarantined.
The demon was mad
To be easily had,
But from taking revenge he was screened!

13.
A woman of wealth was quite fond
Of the frogs that lived in her pond.
She made them a swing,
And a jungle-gym thing,
So they’d stay there and never abscond.

14.
A dog chased a cat up a tree;
He barked in ecstatical glee.
‘Til his man gave a shout,
And gave him a clout,
And the cat was then able to flee.

15.
A man from the Rio Grande Valley
Kept such an accurate tally
Of his bulls and his cows,
His boars and his sows,
We all thought math right up his alley!

16.
A woman from Alamogordo
Drove trucks made only by Ford, oh!
She thought Jeeps were swell,
And GMs as well,
But her One-fifty she just adored, oh!

17.
Lovecraft wrote fantastic fiction
Of such eerie and cosmic depiction
Of eldritch nightmares,
And uncanny scares,
His tales can become an addiction.

18.
Vincent Price movies are fun;
No film he’s in I’d ever shun.
Though some are quite cheesy,
And make me uneasy,
I still think I’ve watched every one!

19.
Frankenstein made him a creature,
But would not serve as his teacher.
So the thing he made found
Naught but hatred around
And that hatred became its main feature.

20.
A man who drove drunk got a dent
On his fender, and was discontent.
His friend said, “You’re lucky!
It could have been yucky
If you’d hit that big wall of cement!”
