Heard around the house
My dad came by to grab some homemade kimchi and Junior was doing her homework:
Poppa: What kind of homework are you doing?
Junior: I need to do a limerick.
Poppa: Want some help?
Junior: Sure
Me: It better not involve a man from Nantucket.

There Once was a woman from Clyde
Who ate some green apples and died
The apples fermented
inside the lamented
and turned to cider inside her insides

There was an old man of Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket;
But his daughter, named Nan
Ran away with a man —
And as far as the bucket, Nantucket.

nk cites the original, first limerick ever written. Also, I believe it to be the only non-dirty mention of Nantucket ever penned. You can win bar bets with that.

There once was a lady who triplets begat,
Nat, Pat, and Tat;
Twas fun in the breeding,
But trouble for feeding,
Because she didn’t have a tit for Tat.

“There once was a man from Nantucket.
He came from the northeast.
I hate writing limericks.”

There was once a thief from Nantucket
Who presented his girl with a locket
She said, “Thank you, I love it
But how could you ever afford it?”
He said, “Oh, I just picked some guy’s pocket.”

For nk –
“Nan and the man ran away to Pawtucket
Where they kept the cash in the bucket.
Then Nan’s paw found the man,
And said ‘You are welcome to Nan.’
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.”

Two thumbs up, Garibaldi.

Gariblaid: I’d always heard that verse as:
“He followed the pair to Pawtucket
The man and the girl with the bucket
He said to the man
You are free to have nan
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket”
