PEAR TREE LOG

pear tree log: I started this blog to keep my younger son, Jonny, in touch with life in Lincolnshire, while he spent a year working in China. That year turned into five! Now he is home and training to become a physics teacher. This is simply a patchwork quilt of some of the things I enjoy - life in rural Lincolnshire, our animals, friends, architecture, books, the gardens, and things of passing interest.

HAVING OFFENDED LBM and CHRIS, HERE GOES WITH SOME MORE..

This one is for you Janet, Revising Life, I hope you enjoy it.


A horse-riding duck from Texas
Abandoned her horse for a Lexus
She quickly drove to a farm
Did horse-vaulting with charm
Was one of their best chicken sexers


Sorry, I struggled with the rhymes for Texas!




Now then, The Viking! - Belleau Cottage


I have to admit a great liking
For vegetarian duck - 'The Viking'
He is tall and engaging
Conversation's wide ranging
Can be seen on The Wolds, bi-cycling




A middle-aged duck lost some feathers
While rolling around in the Heathers
Heather got up
Drank wine from a cup
Rode off on a Harley, in leathers

    These are so impressive. I love how you rhymed things with Texas.

    I need some duck sexers... I can't tell the boy-ducks from the girl-ducks!

    Fabulous limericks. Uplifted my evening they did!

    Hi Lena, Fine set of whiskers you've got there! Really pleased that you got a chuckle out of my nonsense. I gave my undisciplined mind the job of writing one limerick for Natalie and hey presto, I can't find the off switch. I think output is slowing now though!

    Oh my! I never thought to go in that direction. That was laugh out loud funny! (But I don't think "chicken sexing" is in my future ... I hope.)

    Hi Janet, You are a good sport! Perhaps you could do more of the equine vaulting!
