A Limerick Lullaby
I've been itching to write one of these
There was a young doggy called Teddy
He loved to climb up on the beddy
But something was wrong
after his bedtime song!
And Teddy he started to fretty...
For there once was a bedbug named Bert
His family he bit, and it hurt!
To squash him, they tried
But Bert- he would hide
Then at night they would feel their blood SQUIRT
***with apologies to Kelli and anyone else who read my last Tall Tails entry before bed***
I'm loving the limerick invasion lately (thanks, Paul!) and I hope there will be a limerick challenge soon...the more laughs here the better!
Okay, friends, keep it going!!

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Oh my goodness, did you manifest the limerick challenge? 😆
Lol, I am reading this in the wrong order, but this was hilarious! Loved the limericks! Glad to welcome you to the limerick train, all aboard - bound for Nantucket!
Haha!
hahaha
I enjoyed the playful tone of the limerick and how it highlighted the unique beauty of the hairless cat.
HeHe! More bed bugs! Are they coming from Teddy? Or is the source bipedal? Hmmm? Since true limericks are supposed to be "dirty" I guess this fits nicely into the category. 😁
Haha, such a perfect match for your Tall Tails story!
hahahah. Great job.
Ew? And haha!!
Wow nice
It might have been bed bugs or lice I still think the story was nice!
HAHAHA!!! Those suckers are no joke!! This was great! And I did read that story :) Now I feel itchy, lol.
Lol...no apologies necessary. This was great. I feel a theme coming on
