Pluck

~

~
You are such a funny duck,
That I admire your plucky pluck,
Now it's time to go to bed,
And sleep your sleepy  little head,
So, much good night and way good luck.

Pectoral

He had pains trapezial and pectoral,
Which he located by azimuth and vectoral.
He took seven pills,
And left for the hills,
'Cause the city was way too inspectoral.

He used to watch films about rocks,
On cable tv via Cox
Until he found trouble,
Crashing into some rubble,
While traveling on Route Sexy Socks.

Once a young tyro from Cairo,
Who married a maniac; pyro,
At the fires she sniffed,
Got mightily miffed,
And  fled in her autogiro.

Bare

My rabbit is un-furred, hence bare,
The fur feels 'twas treated unfair,
It hopped on  a pony,
And beat up a coney,
So beware of the hair of my hare.

Rutabagas

~
I planted a passle of new potatoes,
Right next to a patch of rutabagas,
Once they got ripe,
I lit my pipe,
And piled them all up in my Studebakers.

Pickle

-
I used to pay a nickel for a pickle,
Before the reaper gets me with his sickle,
I hope and pray,
And loudly say,
Don't be fickle, give me a pickle for a nickle.

Stems and roots, whatever would settle,
He rolled up his sleeves,
And pulled out the leaves,
And put the pretty petal to the mettle.

Kittens

A pretty maid had twenty kittens,
Who had no use for "no admittance",
They went where they chose,
And often would doze,
In unearthed kitchen-middens.

Chamomile

~
A singer, Lovett, namely Lyle,
Was barging up and down the Nile,
When Julia came aboard,
He put away his sword,
And served a cup of chamomile.

To illustrate the other pronunciation of the word chamomile,
a limerick contributed by Gloria Nelson:

A lady so fine and genteel,
While sipping her hot chamomile,
Went into a tizzy,
When her tea became fizzy,
And out jumped a slippery eel.

Core

~

~
A man who was sore to the core,
Went where no man had been; to the store,
He trampled and scampered,
And refused to be pampered,
So soon was more sore than before.

Raisins

His fitness for his many liaisons,
In back rooms, broad streets and maisons,
Was based on greens,
Tomatoes and beans,
Laced with nuts and occasional raisins.

Nemesis

He read in the book of Genesis,
About a dangerous nemesis,
Set out to defeat it,
Decisively beat it,
By hexing his land and the premises.
