There once was a lass from Verdun
There once was a man from Manchu
Who tried to write a haiku
But he

That the chemists have poisoned her brain
The cause of her sorrow

A dozen, a gross and a score
Plus 3 times the square root of 4
Divide it by 7
Add 5 times 11

@Natasha_Jay There was a young man from Dundee.
Who was stung on the arm by a bee.
When asked "Does it hurt?"
He replied "No it doesn't!"
"It can do it again if it wants!"
There was a young man from Japan.
He wrote limericks that never would scan.
When he was asked why.
He said, in reply.
It's because I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can.

A decrepit old gas man named Peter
Went hunting about for the meter
Struck a leak with his light
He arose out of sight
And as anyone can see by reading this, he also destroyed the meter.
Oh come on now, you canโt
Leave us hanging like that

There was a young man from China
Who wrote poems; none were finer
But they did end suddenly
There was a young man from the sticks
Whose limericks' lines numbered six
His meter would jive
'til the end of line five
Then a problem he never could fix
Was the fact that he had more to say after the final rhyme.

An alergic old lady from Bree
Who sadly got stung by a bee
Couldn't breathe no more
So she died at line four
This was harder than I thought
