Another Month of Limericks (Alphabetical) #10 "J is for Jonathan's Jockey's"

All of Jonathan's Jockeys are new.
He went shopping and bought quite a few.
But he's shy and discreet
And impeccably neat,
And he modestly keeps them from view.

Another Month of Limericks (Alphabetical) #9 "I is for I"

The Art Critic: Relativism; or, Ay, Ay, Ay

It isn't a thing for which I
Could give you a nay or an aye.
It isn't exact,
Not fiction or fact -
It can only be judged by the eye.

Another Month of Limericks (Alphabetical) #8 "H is for St. Hildegard"

St. Hildegard's holiest miracle?
To make herself totally spherical
And bounce like a ball
Down the long abbey hall
Singing chants that were blesséd and lyrical.

Another Month of Limericks (Alphabetical) #7 "G is for Gamba" (and Greensleeves and Galliard)

A consort of gambas in Rio
Played "Greensleeves" and galliards with brio.
They adapted the gamba
To playing the samba,
And transcribed the "Saudades" of Milhaud.

Another Month of Limericks (Alphabetical) #6 "F is for Fritz"

Said a fellow in Frankfurt named Fritz,
"I love my fair Fräulein to bits,
For though she has faults
She can foxtrot and waltz,
And dance 'til the band calls it quits."

Another Month of Limericks (Alphabetical) #5 "E is for Eel Pie" (What else?)

An Englishman's pie made with eel
Inspires epicurean zeal.
But he must eat it quickly,
For it starts to look sickly
When the fats at the bottom congeal.

Another Month of Limericks (Alphabetical) #4 "D is for Delicious"

Declaring his dinner delicious,
A dilettante chef got ambitious.
He vowed to devour
A new dish each hour,
With results that were less than auspicious.
