Limericks

1

A bloke with a car and a bike

Decided one day he would hike

To London and back

With a driver called Jack

And his hairy assistant called Mike.

2

A Welsh-speaking lady from Wales

Went to town and spent up in the sales

She had to get a lift back, see

So she ordered a Tacsi

To avoid walking back in the gales

3

The PM was called Mrs May

In Europe she wanted to stay

But the rest wanted exit

So they organised Brexit

And then voted on that every day!

4

“The climate’s not changing,” said Trump

With a great intellectual jump

As the wind and the rain

Came again and again

And the icebergs broke off with a bump.

5

We aren’t selling too many arms

To countries with few or no charms

It prevents unemployment

While providing enjoyment

And workers for strawberry farms.

6

Take Britain back, said a man

Whose grandparents came from Japan

His wife was half Chilean

And his housemaid Brazilian

While his girlfriend was born in Bhutan.
