Did you know that today is Limerick Day? A limerick is a five-line poem that is humorous, nonsensical and often naughty. Here are a few limericks about our four legged friend – all courtesy of King Poetry. They are the more subdued ones.
Limerick #1
I met this incredible sheilah
I took her home, then tried to feel her
But there on her couch
I gave a loud “OUCH!”
Her chaperone was a Rottweiler!
Limerick #2
I went to a dog show at Krupps
Unfortunately, deep in my cups,
A Basset Hound, lying
Tripped me, I went flying
Into trophies and ribbons and pups!
Limerick #3
I lived in Alaska with ease
No worries, not one did I freeze
I slept with my pinscher
And when it was winter
I dragged in my three Pekinese!
