Loopy Limericks

I have a surprise in the trunk of my car
It’s a brand new Fender guitar
That I stole from a guy
I met in junior high
I’ll show you when we go to the bar

I’ve recently painted my toes

My collection is complete

93 million miles from earth

93 million miles from earth
The sun blazes hot, full of mirth

93 million miles from earth
The sun blazes hot, full of mirth
The moon makes evil plans

93 million miles from earth
The sun blazes hot, full of mirth
The moon makes evil plans
If we don’t meet its demands

93 million miles from earth
The sun blazes hot, full of mirth
The moon makes evil plans
If we don’t meet its demands

There was a spectre in the dark
Which held hostage the Holy Ark
Its demands were quite small
Just a rasp in the hall
Asking fot a walk in the park.

My friend Sam is a hoot and a half

My friend Sam is a hoot and a half
Not very nice but good for a laugh

My friend Sam is a hoot and a half
Not very nice but good for a laugh
The way he eats mice

My friend Sam is a hoot and a half;
She’s everyone’s fount for a laugh.

My friend Sam is a hoot and a half
Not very nice but good for a laugh
The way he eats mice
Betrays an old vice

My friend Sam is a hoot and a half
Not very nice but good for a laugh
The way he eats mice
Betrays an old vice
and I regret that we’ve kept him on staff
