Animal Limericks

I love the lilt of limericks, and trying to produce a fun surprise with the last line. These are all about animals, with one exception. Please enjoy!

There once was a jumpy young horse

Who threw every person, of course

'Til a girl held on tight

And she rode through the night

She defied gravitational force.

A dog stood up high on a ledge

And hollered, “Quack, quack,” from the edge

“What ya doin’?” asked his pal

To discern rationale

He said, “Learning a foreign language.”

There once was a cat with no hair

Who said he was feeling quite bare

So he knitted some ties

For a clever disguise

Now the neighbor cats jealously stare.

My friend has a bird with no feet

Which tries not to land on her seat

But she fumbles instead

And she bruises her head

Then for months the poor birdie can’t tweet.

There once was a frog who could sing

With rhythm and tune in full swing

People traveled for days

To be pleased and amazed

But in concert, he sat there, croaking.

I hope my words pleased you as penned

And I hope that you now comprehend

All God’s critters belong

Can't we all get along?

So, I bid you, "Farewell," and, “The end.”
