Puns Upon A Rhyme

By Kevin Lucas

Puns Upon a Rhyme: A Collection of Limericks to Tickle Your Fancy showcases Kevin Lucas’s unique humor and take on the every day occurrences around us.
Webster’s Dictionary defines a limerick as: “a light or humorous verse form of five ... lines”

Lucas has penned over 3,000 limericks to date and chose to share over two-hundred in this collection for your amusement. 

“On a clean-living lifestyle, I pride myself.
By the teachings of Jesus, I guide myself.
But my ne'er-do-well twin,
Who's conjoined, lives in sin,
And I'm greatly distressed—I'm beside myself!”

Dedication

To my daughter Lindsay, my greatest creation.

Acknowledgements

There are too many people to thank for the honed limericks you will read in these pages. I would, however, like to acknowledge four people who have helped immensely in this fine-tuning process—Chris J. Strolin, Janet McConnaughey, Joanna Keene, and Jesse Frankovich.

Thank you.

Sue walks by with a strut and a sway,

Prompting guys to cast eyeballs her way.

They can't help it; they're drawn

To that gal who's real gone.

And their girlfriends are left to cry, "Hey!"

I was critical, toeing the ledge

Between health and becoming a veg.

On TV? The election.

The final projection

Has pushed me right over the edge.

That smell is horrendous.  Yes. Quite.

You're to blame.  "Absolutely. You're right.

That's a fact. No disputin'.

For certain. Darn tootin'.

Those beans have me tootin' all night."

Your head's on the chopping block, Fred.

It's not just getting canned that I dread;

I so angered my boss

That I'm facing a loss

Execution style—Off with his head!

Post cardiac surgery, Kim

Expressed love to her doc on a whim.
