A Few Retiree Limericks


Ahhh...now let's all sit back and listen to a few limericks of our retirees by our resident Limerick Fairy (Don't even think about making a comment!)

There once was a retiree named Loma

Who was built like a light named Noma

The peanut butter was spread

Without the pleasure of any bread

Poor Bill almost went into a coma


Tom Lebert was a fine Liberal

He considered himself an electoral

As he sat down to vote

He voted on a municipal note

And considered himself quite mayoral

A fine fellow retiree named Dann

Was classified as a fine fire man

He jumped on the hose

Fell flat on his nose

Now poor Dann is considered a stunt man


A new retired fellow named Greg

Noticed one day he had a bowed leg

He said in a mutter

My heart’s in a flutter

Pass the pencils: I need to beg

A retiree by the name of Tim

Opted out of a trip to the gym

Consuming beans to lose extra pounds

And surprised by new vibrant sounds

Tim’s wind can now play a hymn


There once was a gal named Karen

Who loved the sound of the siren

She hailed from the Isle of P.I

Was an expert at the art of Private Eye

Now she is tracking a Heron

A retiree by the name of Martin

Gathered all of his stuff in a carton

Working fire prevention he said

Caused him so much darned dread

That on the floor he would be startin’


An old retiree named Al

Was sure he was everyone’s pal

He retired as Assistant Chief

But caused so much unnecessary grief

That poor Al was put out to corral

The retiree by the name of Ron

Would often take naps on his lawn

Decided to give his technique a whirl

He nicknamed it the Trofin Curl

Challenge was chairs and try to stay on


An old retiree named Stroud

Everyone knew he was rather proud

He watched so much TV

It was plain for everyone to see

That he resided in somewhat of a cloud

(Hey .. they're not always classics! You try and make up a limerick!!!)

There once was a retiree named Arpan

To Headquarters apparatus floor he ran

Trying to catch the descending door

His judgment was rather poor

Jim’s broken leg was never the plan


There once was a retiree named Vernes

Who over the years had a few burns

He’d itch and he’d scratch

Sat at the hall waiting for a dispatch

And discovered the law of diminishing returns
