Okay, well...

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Bookstore:Looney Limericks by Frank Jacobs

Ooh...bummer for that guy!

 

 

A collection of humorous limericks(including a few by the limerick king himself, Edward Lear) starring such unforgettable folks as the young man from Bengal who goes to a fancy dress ball garbed as a hamburger bun(with an outcome he didn't forsee...), the old man of Blackheath who accidentally sits on his false teeth(YEOWCH!), the knowing young raccoon who doesn't believe in the moon, the young woman of Niger who takes a ride on the back of a tiger(This won't end well...), the skunk from the dell who dislikes people because of their smell(Wow, how hypocritical is that?), the spotted hyena who takes an aardvark named Lena to the dance, the barber from Bahavia who has his hands full when a large brown bear comes into his shop, and the snail and the tortoise who brag to each other about how fast they are. If you like wacky limericks, this is the book for you!

 

 

Here are a couple of my faves:

Hmm, he spoils those horses...and doesn't spoil himself enough! :-D
