Finish the Limmerick

There once was a woman named Fay
Who visited Vegas each May.
When she would play the slots,
She always won lots...

of requests to visit again to "play".
maybe tomorrow will be her lucky day.

There once was a crocodile who on demand
Produced tears with a silent command
Especially if missing dinner
Meant that he'd be thinner

He produced tears that were grand.

There once was a Delft plate from Holland
Which was deviously stolen by Gollum
Accused of stealing a ring --
He didn't need a thing ...

...except a hard whack on his bottum.

I went out for dinner last night
in hopes of having a bite
of hamburger steak
with fries and a shake...

However was served a potato with blight.

One winter in Kalamazoo
On a plane arrived a kangaroo
But it was so darn cold
The kangaroo sold

...The world's biggest kazoo.

There once was a cute, young fawn
Who decided to eat a chess pawn.
After eating the plastic,
His stomach got spastic...

...and she barfed it all up on my lawn.

Excuse me, I don't mean to boast
but I am the best-looking ghost
that would ever say "Boo"
to such mortals as you...

...At a Dean Martin comedy roast.

There once was a slice of cheese
Whose asthma made him wheeze.
A crooked old sailor
Took his only inhaler...

...so the Cheese shoved the skeeze in the seas.

A long, trailing column of ants
was making its way up his pants
in order to find
the most fragrant kind...

Of fruit to bite, to make him prance.

A silly mathematician
Argued with a statistician
That numbers were holy
And made academics cozy

...But the best thing in life is cognition.

There once was an old leather belt
Who wanted to be made of felt.
He wished on the moon
That he would be changed soon...

But his lot in life was already dealt.

There once was a woman from Venus
Who thought men from Mars were the meanest
But then the sudden birth
Of in-between planet Earth

...Made her think Earthlings were greenest.

There once was an old, grumpy owl
Who always had on a big scowl.
If you tried to make the owl smile
By telling jokes for a while...

...be careful of language that's "fowl".

A naughty boy named Johnny Zitti
was putting up lots of graffiti
Though he didn't mean
to be so obscene...

...He just had drunk too many martinis.

A bartender named Saul
Had the nastiest fall.
He broke his arm and his leg
And had bruises the size of an egg...
