St. Patrick's Day Cheer

There once was an old man of Esser,
Whose knowledge grew lesser and lesser,
It at last grew so small
He knew nothing at all,
And now he's a college professor.

A macho young swimmer named Dwyer,
Really liked playing with fire.
One night in the dark
He swam with a shark,
And his voice is now two octaves higher.

An accident really uncanny
Occurred to my elderly granny.
She sat down in a chair,
While her false teeth lay there.
And bit herself right in the fanny.

All the illustrations are examples of Celtic knots.  Sometimes called "Irish knots" or "Mystic knots," Celtic knots are patterns of lines with no visible beginning and no apparent end.
 
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!  I'm observing the wearin' of the green.  Are you?  Have a great day!

    1. You need to go shopping! You'd look good in green. Glad you enjoyed the limericks.
