The Grandfather Suite (Limerick) by -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I.
Grandfather's Beard
Grandfather has an old beard.
With butter 'tis lavishly smear'd.
When Grandfather died,
It shrivel'd and dried,
But still to his dead face adher'd.
Grandfather's Eye
Grandfather's lifeless red eye
Can through walls all naughty deeds spy.
If you bare your lip,
You may earn a trip
To the bony expanse of his thigh.
Grandfather's Vest
Grandfather's vest, brown of leather,
Secretes a brown scent in wet weather.
I once took a smell
And was forcef'lly propell'd
To the end of my safe-keeping tether!!
Grandfather's Stump
Grandfather's stump, it is rumour'd,
Has three rows of teeth, and a tumour.
No-one has seen it,
Or ever dared clean it,
Or even approach'd his stain'd bloomers.
Grandfather's Box
What's inside Grandfather's box?
Why has it so many locks?
Perhaps it is owls!
Perhaps it is jowls!
Perhaps it is balm for his socks.

He kept time with the hall clock's slow tickin'
It wasn't the pain
That made us insane
But so long to his stump to be stickin'
