Uilleann Pipes
1

there was a wee man from devon, who bought his pipes n thought he was in heaven.
alone in his quest he craves the company of a fellow piper so he can achieve his best.
a friend close to devon he seeks, to improve his piping through occasional meets.
but alas he has no joy, on this quest he trudges the road of happy destiny,
a lonesome newbee with heart & intensity.
so pipers in devon if behind the hedges your hiding, drop me a line with cheer & good tiding.
and perhaps one day we will meet and cheer, pipers unite, ok i will buy the beer.

There once was a man from Limerick,

who like to try and write, well..er…Limericks,

No matter how hard he tried,

And broke down and cried,

He just couldn’t ever get them to work out!!!

Albert,

There are several pipers in an approx 50 mile radius of Plumerff. Contact someone at SouthWest Assoc., http://www.swaup.org They used to have a list of pipers in the South West. They are there, it’s just a matter of time…

My favorite Limerick:

There was once a young man from the sticks,
Who wanted to learn to write Limericks.
But he failed at the sport,
He wrote them too short.

My two favorites:

There once was a man from Honshu
Who’s Limericks would end at line two.




There once was a man from Verdun.

Wheras I appreciate the subtlety, I had to ponder it for a minute or two. Unfortunately, when the light came on I managed to snarf a few ounces of Mountain Dew, depositing them on my screen… hence I must say:

I admire this thread’s bold progenitors,
that includes Joseph Smith our shrewd editor,
yet, when I first read his post,
the joke didn’t osmose,
When it did, I snarfed Dew on my monitor.

Peace!
