Limericks, handwritten, n.d. (Samuel P. Capen Papers, 1894-1955, 4/7/19, #24.15):
|
|
An accomplished musician named Nellie
Simultaneously played on two celli
She did not use two bows
One she plucked with her toes,
And the other she sawed 'gainst her belly.
|
|
|
|
There once was an old lady named Packer
Whose belly was painted with lacquer
Now lacquer's tough stuff
If you put on enough
You could drop the old dame and not crack her.
