It is quite a long way to Harbin
That knife was of best steel, with carbon
It is quite a long way to Harbin
That knife was of best steel, with carbon
I travelled through China
To kill Carolina
With a fish that I'd left the barb in.
(McT - I assumed it was HarBIN and could rhyme with IN --- you took the road less travelled and that made all the difference)
Remember the panic 'bout bird flu?
Bird flu started in China, in Har Bin? Who knew? Certainly not me.
Remember the panic 'bout bird 'flu?
That's one ailment out there to get you
Remember the panic 'bout bird 'flu?
That's one ailment out there to get you
But there are loads more -
Like kwashiorkor
Or a surfeit of Carlsberg beer - Special Brew.
A febrile old Scot called McTag
A febrile old Scot called McTag
Had a dictionary in a bag
So he looked up "febrile"
Which took quite a while
A febrile old Scot called McTag
Had a dictionary in a bag
So he looked up "febrile"
Which took quite a while
They say feverishness is in style
A nyaff fun a bool in a poke
A nyaff fun a bool in a poke
But not so much gan as her bloke
She whiffled and then
Whiffled blottly and then
A nyaff fun a bool in a poke
But not so much gan as her bloke
She whiffled and then
Whiffled blottly and then
Decided that something was broke.

Knowing LITTLE of England or France
Is a shame; why not visit perchance?
England's quite green,
Though the food's still obscene,
I am poor, "Woe is me", is my stance.
The sunshine is bright, but its fickle..

If you want to try fishing, a stick'll
Do nicely, for line
A good length of twine
And a pin bent resembling a sickle
Oh the joys of the chase and the shoot
(fantastic McTag-- great limerick)
Oh the joys of the chase and the shoot
And the bounty you get is "to boot"--
Oh the joys of the chase and the shoot
And the bounty you get is "to boot"
Rods and guns that can fold
May be preciously old
Oh the joys of the chase and the shoot
And the bounty you get is "to boot"
Rods and guns that can fold
May be preciously old
But the air is worth more than the loot.

While vending her oranges Nell went
Stage left an' an eagle swooped smell scent
While vending her oranges Nell went
Stage left an' an eagle swooped smell scent.
So her princely love
Turned into a dove -
To save Nell her really was hellbent.
Impossible rhymes are a challenge.

But not when you're chewing a mallenge
Hey, but look... that's a car
Not a sweet candy bar
Not to race If you're on a bal binge!!

Leads to rhymes indescribably awful
