Three Massachusetts Limericks

None from Nantucket

Art by Elliot Skow

Harvard Yard it now welcomes the public
These buildings are older than fublic
And before you leave
First wipe with your sleeve
Then give Johnny’s boot a good love-lick.



There once was a man from Wachusett
Whose pet was a small kangarooset
Since her joey, named Larry,
Was too big to carry,
Instead when she skiied she’d papoose it.



There was an old man up in Leyden 
Who promised to vote for Joe Biden 
Election day came
And, eager for fame,
Instead he grew wings and went flyden.
