#FolkloreThursday
An elderly man called Keith,
Mislaid his set of false teeth.
They'd been laid on a chair,
He'd forgot they were there,
Sat down, and was bitten beneath.
- Old Irish Limerick
“There was an old man of Dumbree, who taught little owls to drink tea; For he said, ‘To eat mice, is not very proper or nice’, That amiable Man of Dumbree.” #NationalLimerickDay

There was a cartographer named Bart
The land and the oceans did chart
He mapped them all
But instead of a ball 🌍
He turned the world into a heart❤️

“And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon.”
― Edward Lear, author of The Owl and the Pussycat, was born #OTD in 1812. Although best known for his nonsensical poems & limericks, Lear was also an accomplished painter & composer.

To fuck is far preferable than to shit
To compare love-making to defecating in a pit
The word suits you
If you prefer "poo"
Myself, I'm less offended by fuck than your shit
