BEWARE THE IDES OF MAY LIMERICK

Beware of the ides of May
If your in-laws are coming to stay,
They will not leave soon,
Until the fall harvest moon,
When they head back to Florida to play.

BASIL AND HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW LIMERICK

The thing that old Basil feared the very most,
Was when his mother-in-law became a ghost,
She would not go away,
She stayed night and day,
She used his mistress’s body as a host.
