You will now sing every new limerick you hear for the rest of your life.
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.
There was a young woman named Bright.
Whose speed was much faster than light.
She departed one day,
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night!
This is set to music at the end and beginning of the Alphaville album Afternoons in Utopia.
There was a young lady called Jean
Who fell in a washing machine
She tumbled around
Till she almost drowned
But she came out remarkably clean
‘Theeeere once was a girl from Nantucket’ … well, sort of works.
I couldn’t remember the tune to Home on the Range, so I used Piano Man, and that worked.
Yeah that is a limerick
