Some glasses to cure my strabismus.

I've said my baruchs

And kept off all hooches
Software
A day of good kosher joy
Marc
If you want we could meet at the pub
Knobbly
For a pint and a nice syllabub
(Slight failure of rhymage in line 4 of previous. Mind you, what English word rhymes with
'baruchs'
?
Raak
[Knobbly] "loud heuchs"?

Hopefully there's trivia

For the Tailor Dance Cup
KagomeShuko
Which takes place promptly at noon!
cfm
She liked her hair long and skirts short
ImNotJohn
And to drink: a small lime and port
Chalky
But question 'her' gender
... interesting that the last ten limericks bar one have been started by the same two contributors ...
Pablo
Is "she" really a bender?
Darren
I'd check but I'd end up in court
Chalky
As we journey through life, we should try
Excellent finish Darren
cfm
To have ready a good alibi

And to question the fitness

Of each expert witness

For the craic, a pint, and some grub
Darren
Perhaps a quick song
cfm
Then, if nothing goes wrong
Chalky
I'll be throwing some shapes at a club
CdM
And if I'm in luck, then I'll pull
KagomeShuko
A fancy trick on a bull
Giertrud
It won't buck me off
Marc
If I don't start to cough
cfm
And my evening would then count as full.
irach
When I
do
take the bull by the horns
Software
The damn thing stands on my corns
Darren
But after some bellows
cfm
My misery mellows
Marc
'til I take 'nother Gin spiked with thorns...
Marc
My carpenter hammered and screwed

A breath of fresh air for my lice
Darren
And my worms like the view
Marc
As I visit the loo
Raak
And dispose of my dodgy fried rice.
Tuj
I'm learning to trust my optician
irach
But I still have a nagging suspicion
cfm
He's paid just to flatter
Chalky
Which shouldn't much matter
Software
As I already have perfect vision
Tuj
With one of my ears on the floor
CdM
And the other one nailed to the door
cfm
I'm over-extended
Marc
Much more than intended
irach
But my ears do not ring anymore
Tuj
I think that my tongue's swelling up!
Software
I find my pint I cannot sup
cfm
But if I had a straw
Darren
Or two, three, or more
irach
I'd sip from this large china cup
Marc
One day we will run out of air
cfm
You'll inhale--and it just won't be there
Darren
And no-one will hear

Your screaming with fear

And there will be noone to care

I hope when I breathe my last breath

Of the fumes from that sweet crystal meth

That I'll be in the arms
