The Old Man from Brazil
       There was an old man from Brazil
       Who ate 'til he made himself ill.
        "It's always a treat to eat mangled meat.
      I relish the taste of road kill!"

The Old Man from Brazil I
There was an old man from Brazil
Who ate 'til he made himself ill.
He gave up the ghost, said good-bye to his host,
And flew home to his house on the hill.

The Man in Galloway Bay

Limericks by Dawn Pisturino


The Man in Galloway Bay

A man lost in Galloway Bay,
Cried out in a very loud bray,
"Please come rescue me, hungry sharks can't agree,
Am I breakfast or dinner entree?"

The Man in Galloway Bay II

A man lost in Galloway Bay,
Cried out in a very loud bray,
"I'm lost in the sea, someone please rescue me!
The fishermen think I'm filet!"

The Man in Galloway Bay I

A man lost in Galloway Bay,
Cried out in a very loud bray,
"I'm lost in the sea, someone please rescue me!
I've been swimming for more than a day!"

Ophelia is Dead

by Dawn Pisturino

Dead! Ophelia is dead!
Her hair bound with daisies,
Gold locks floating free,
She drowned in the river,
       Cursing me.

She told me I was ugly,
She pulled my frizzy hair,
She teased me by the water,
And I pushed her there.

Dead! Ophelia is dead!
And I really don't care.
