Hadn’t seen this one before but I saw this in a book:
There once was a man from Peru,
Whose limericks stopped at line two
and then later in the same book they had
There once was a man from Verdun
There once was a bard from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan
When told this was so
He replied, 'Yes, I know"
“But I always try and fit as many words into the last line as I possibly can.”
there’s really no need to say more
The audience always wants more
Reminds me of an oldie:
“Roses are red, Violets are blue. Some poems rhyme, This one don’t.”
I will occasionally go out of my way to put together birthday cards etc for friends and family rather than buy something off the rack. One year I made this for my cousin:
Roses are red

Violets are too

open
I ran out of cyan
Happy birthday
