Three limericks I wrote:

There once was a very small cat 

but he began to get very fat

He wanted to implode 

but he started to explode

and that was the end of that

There once was a very big bean

but he began to get very lean

He decided to eat

a lot through his feet

but then he became the queen

There once was a very sad dog 

who always sat on a log

He drifted down river

and began to shiver

but then he was killed by frog

My favorite poem by Nicholas:

There once was a cat named Splat

Who had a very large plait,

His plait got cut,

By a nut,

And that was the end of that.
