Now the Laughing Cavalier <br />does scoff and sometimes sneer <br />but often I think <br />he gives me the wink <br />as I rub up against the old dear. <br /> <br />I really don't know why <br />but I thought I'd better try <br />to write a rhyme <br />in 2/4 time <br />before I bake cherry pie. <br /> <br />A sailor who drifted ashore <br />proclaimed civi' life was a bore <br />he preferred life at sea <br />no land lubber he <br />so he pulled up his anchor thrice more.<br /><br />Ruth Walters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-trios-of-limericks-i-don-t-know-why/
