Not sure how the teacher will react to Sticks poem.

“Forensic Humor: Limericks to Die for” --by Stick

I think she’s got a winner.

One night, when my younger daughter was about 5, I was giving her a bath. She was standing in the tub, when she just started saying a little poem, making it up right on the spot, her foot tapping out the rhythm. I asked her if she could remember it, and she said yes. I rushed the rest of her bath, wrapped her in a big towel, brought her over to my computer, and asked her to say it again: “Sunny yellow / Cloudy grey / Rainy dark / Snowy light / All the colors, black and white / Every color of the weather / They go all the time together”

The wife of William Hurst, Fed him a can of wurst. Said Hurst with a frown, “That hurt doing down, Next time take the can off first!”

Here in pieces lies Fred Twain, Who tried to catch a moving train. The train caught Twain, as you can see. Instead of one Fred, now there’s three.

There was a young man name of Tabor, who lived by the rule, love your neighbour

Which he did with a roar to the lady next door and the result was 20 years of hard labour

or

The Norfolk School chant, We don’t smoke, we don’t drink…

A rectal recital I created 30 years ago

The bum and the game

Is one and the same.

Stick’s poem was copyright as soon as she fixed it on that piece of paper.
