'LIMERICKS, OR LINES WRITTEN IN THE BACK OF A 'BUS
Travelling around in a bus
There were 27 of us.
I sat and wrote down
These lines of my own.
I hope you find they're humorous.
3 Russell
No group, it seems, is complete
Without one who, to judge by his feet, (Which, while we were talking
Were off again, walking)
Would feel more at home on the beat.

Jean and Ian

There's one chap who went for a swim,
And his wife just sat and watched him.
I think he was silly.
Coz he lost his willy.
At least - it went terribly thin
Laura and Clark
For Brits, it is always quite pleasing
To have Americans around, just for teasing.
But hey - let's be fair,
They're a jolly nice pair.
(Do you think that I sound too appeasing?)
9 Andrew
He's tall, unassuming and blond.
Of food, he's inordinately fond,
Though you'd never know,
Coz it just doesn't show.
He's not what the French would call "ronde".
11 Gaye and Peter
There's one couple, they're quite romantic.
I'd describe them as "transatlantic".
The long and the short
2 I've described all the members in verse.
Some are better but some are much worse.
If any feel cheated
By how they've been treated
The complements they may reverse.
4 Mary

This next lady don't make a fuss.
She just sits at the back of the bus.
'It's comfy,' she said
But she's banged her head
On the roof more than any of us.
Marlene
This lawyer from Lancaster-shire
Has the nicest accent you'll hear.
I'm afraid it would grate
If I tried t'imitate,
So listen to her, she's just here.
8 Gillian and Peter
The next one is also a pair.
They've travelled a lot, here and there.
'When we were in Iran
We lived in a barn.
It was much worse than this. So there!'
10 Leona and Victor
She bought an ethnic cardigan,
And hardly took it off again.
He has more endurance.
Perhaps it's insurance,
Or maybe he's terribly vain.
12 Janet

The next lady's also a Yankee.
She don't stand for no hanky-panky.
She keeps getting passes
