I Can't Tell a Toad From . . .

JOSIE'S POEMS

L I M E R I C K S

By Josie Whitehead

I can’t tell a toad from a shark.

Perhaps that’s because it is dark.

But in daylight it’s clear –

Oh, there’s nothing to fear,

For you’ll recognize each by their bark.

A fairy’s abnormal, it’s true,

But most ‘normal’ fairies are blue.

If you think that’s a lie,

Well just look at the sky!

Oh! What I’ve just told you’s untrue!!!

There was an old man with no hair

Who said: ‘Tell me just why should I care?

My old comb’s never used

And I’m far less confused

With a head that is cool now it’s bare.’

There was an old man from Peru

Who said: ‘My goodness’ and ‘What shall I do?

My llama has strayed

And I’m sadly dismayed

For I think that he’s gone to a zoo.’
