limericks THERE was a young man named Buzek, Who was terribly fond of good music, To see him dance You’d fall in a trance, Or laugh until it made you sick. There is a young lady named Beck, Of studying she does not a speck, But near the exams, Her studies she crams. Until she’s pronounced quite a wreck. Then there is our President Kirby, Whose head is too big for a derby, In shorthand he is fine, In English divine, Although his discourse is too verby. There are the Pearls of great price, Whose lessons arc learned in a trice, Where you see the red hair, The other is there, And every one thinks they are so nice. There’s Emma and Louise, the great chums, Who together work out all their sums, They arc always together In all kinds of weather, Inseparable, like as two bums. There’s that Miss Julia Mae Creer, And isn’t that terribly queer. With her at the head, There nothing is dead, And all the boys think she’s a dear. There’s Madigan who could make a good speech, But he had no desire to teach, If you give him a dime, He will speak his full time, And all the girls think he’s a peach. 130
