for freeing the unhappy broad.
A transsexual girl of Cape Ann
dreamed of becoming a man.
She thought it quite odd
that she hadn't a rod

Love conquered their hearts
so they swapped all their parts
and they figured what's what and who's who.

Who found studying less than entrancing
Till she started to cram
For the entrance exam

Psycho - Limerick 24
Young Norman from the Motel Bates
was known to slash more than the rates.
As he cut and plundered
the poor boy wondered
Why he had such bad luck getting dates.
Once a young girl checked in for the night
so pleasing to look at, so slight.
Said the beautiful flower
I need a room with a shower.
He said I can fix you just right
Through a two-way mirror he grooved
as each item of clothes was removed.
He'd had girls in the past
but his love wouldn't last
because Mother had never approved.
So he lived with his mom on the hill.
He would die for his mom or he'd kill.
As the girl was dismembered
the young man remembered
his mom and it gave him a thrill.

A man who piled beans on his waffle
had farts that smelled much worse than awful.
When he added some fruit

for a man to pile beans on his waffle
but if the man's smart
and has beans in his heart
he will pile them on pate foie gras'ful.

When he swallowed her mittens and overcoat
