A Pickle Limerick


There was a young man named Perkins

Who was specially fond of small gherkins

One fine day at tea he ate forty-three

Which pickled his internal workin's.
 

From the Great Food Almanac
by Irena Chalmers (1994)

There was an old person of Leeds,

whose head was infested with beads;

she sat on a stool,

and ate gooseberry fool,

which agreed with that person of Leeds

Edward Lead
