A bright little woman called "Mrs."
A doctor eccentric though wise
A foolish old person called Peter
A Gorgeous Bird is the Pelican (7 pelicans)
A lady once purchased some myrrh
A lovely young lady named Sally
A man had a bout of bronchitis
A marvelous gap has the toucan (text below image)
A regular young swell was having a drink
A tutor who tooted the flute

A young man who wanted to roam
All the year, from winter till summer
An excessively proper old caper
Arrayed thus, his joy is complete
Do you know her, this maiden forlorn
Don Juan isn't in it with me
Golf may be a dull game to watch
He came on Parade very late
He has a profound, learned air
He said "It is not to be
He's the real thing, first notice his hair
His Motto is still do or die

His outfit is quite uptodate
I admire the bold millners grit
If a chap had the choice of these two
I'm the king of the highway and street
In a bootmakers shop down in Luton
In London there lived a dear Cook
I've Won
I've won the Limerick
Limerick Department Promises
Looking for a word to rhyme with work
Miss Jones on a holiday wending (picture on wall)
Miss Prudence Humility Gray

My mistress is called Little Mary
Oh, Lawdy, please deliber me
On poetry and gush he is strong
One little girl and three boys
Our cook has it bad
Said little boy blue to the Tramp
She always addressed him as Mr.
She is husky and strong, stout of limb
She is monarch of all she surveys
She knows how to smile and look coy
She thinks she's so wise none can fool her
She's caught a poor cat and a bird

Some reciters are terrible bores
The artist starts out with high hope
The ball player thinks he's ‘the’ stuff
The Captain said to his Lieutenant
The-Char Lady came empty handed
The Chemist explained to his daughter!
The gambler is lucky, they say
The Governess said! -'I've a notion
The messenger boy looking for a word
The Mistress said to the Maid, `Bridget
The prince of all liars is he
The Villager said! - "It do seem
