Two Limericks

TWO LIMERICKS
BY ELIZABETH SOUTHWOOD
(c) 1999

A muscular, musical lady
Hummed Bach in a glade that was shady.
Then a rattlesnake came.
She was heard to exclaim,
“The snake’s got my hum, I’m a fraidy!”

******************************
A newcomer to San Francisco
craved sourdough, even al fresco.
He from cable cars leapt
when past bakeshops they swept,
Bought bread which he gobbled with gusto.
