Limericks There once was a Senior named Tappan, When he ate soup you heard his tongue slappin! His soup he would slurp. He’d belch and he’d burp, “I’m not slurpin,” said Tappan, “I’m lappjn!” You always see Barbara somewhere. And the reason that she is so fair, Each night, it is said. Before going to bed, In peroxide she bathes her fair hair! There once was a damsel named Metz, When asked to get married, said “Let’s.” But alas for her dove, He fell out of love, Now she’s pining her small self away. Pete Cooper did not feel so well, He had Kemple worried a spell: “I’ll have to flunk you, Your theme’s overdue.” He said you can go straight to — Mr. Watson and see what he thinks about it. My Sailboat The slap-happy waves shake their sharp tops in glee, So I guess we’ll be going, my sailboat and me. The white seagulls wheeling between sea and sky. Like a painting made real by a happy bird’s cry, And the powder-puff clouds which in number are seven Leave the sky dome so clear you can see into heaven. Oh, the cutter will roll back the jello-like sea. So I guess we’ll be going, my sailboat and me. And the seven white clouds keep the blue sky brushed clean Till the sky is as bright as the gay water’s sheen The seagulls are dipping their wings in the sea, So I guess we’ll be going, my sailboat and me. On the edge I will poise and my lungs I will till For the season’s first dip in the blue water’s chill Where the golden blue sunbeams ’neath the water crisscross And float toward the bottom to lie in the moss. I’ll climb up on the boat and drip back in the sea, Yes, I guess we’ll be going, my sailboat and me. Robert VonBorgen. Page 22
