Limericks

I once saw a man called Zacchaeus
Who got stuck on the branch of a tree(us)
He climbed up the tree
As the Bible decreed
But he found himself dropping down free(us).

The checkout girl just couldn't see
Why her customer acted so twee,
"I'm twenty-three now,
You miserable cow,
So stop talking to me like I'm three!"

Go ahead! Name your girl Klahryn.
Add a Y to make it more darlin',
But don't be dismayed
If she comes of age
And legally changes to Karin.

There once was a girl called Marie
Who said that her home was Paree.
Found out as a liar,
She died in a fire
And was found among the debris.

The first three limericks were written for Literary Writing. The final one was for AP Lit.
