    There once was a woman called Bright
    Who travelled at the speed of light
    She went out one day
    In a relative way
    And came back the previous night

    I love CR's Video Vaults
    I would sure shed a tear if he halts
    These clips from the past
    Are really a blast
    I just cannot find any faults
    (I'd love to know the bleeped out Limerick yer man at the end said)

    My father ,the late Arthur Lysaght was a parochial poet from Athlunkard St. He always won first prize with his Limericks in Christy Le Gears pub across the road from us. We had one framed in our hall at home. It went like this."There was a young fella called Hannan Who was employed night and day catching salmon. Until the doctor said "Stop or one day you will drop".Which he did the poor fella, of Famine.

    There once was a Lady from Glin.
    Who sat by the fire to sing.
    A spark of coal, went up her hole.
    And burnt a hair on her thing.

    The stone walls of the church bore witness to baptisms, weddings, and tearful farewells. The rolling hills outside whispered secrets to the wind, and the ancient yew tree in the churchyard cradled generations of memories. RJG

    It’s funny because every limerick I know, or can recall from memory, came from the pages of that particular magazine with the rabbit on it.

      Methinks that you are referring to HARVEY, Havey The Rabbit, that very dear friend James Stewart who loved nothing more than sitting at the bar having a few drinks telling great stories
