Waheeda Hussain

Limericks

"A zebra married a doe,

And wanted her to wear stripes for a show.

She did not yield to his demand,

And refused his command.

And ran away with her deer Joe.”

"On the day the queen lost her crown

Her brow wrinkled into a permanent frown

In a fit of anger

With a clangour

She ran in her chamber and had a breakdown. 

“There was a donkey

Who was swanky.

He walked the aisle

With grace and poise.

And allured his bride, Jenny.”

“An Elephant married an Ant

And they chose to live in a tent.

A storm came down one morn

And their abode was all gone.

Now poor Elephant lives with in- laws and laments day and 

night.”

“There was a jolly good fellow in New Jersey

Who lived on his wife's mercy.

Earning he had none

Never any work for living he had done.

He was known by the name Hen pecked Percy.”
