A Limerick Meal (Poetry Prompt)

I hope you’ll join me in writing a limerick with this as a first line:

A wealthy old fellow named Bart…

Here’s mine:

A Limerick Meal
By Madeleine Begun Kane

A wealthy old fellow named Bart
Began ev’ry meal with a fart.
When guests came to dine
They’d pretend all was fine
Cuz they hoped to inherit his art.

Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you’re on Facebook, I hope you’ll join my friends in that same activity in my Limerick-Offs.

    A wealthy old fellow named Bart
    Married a girl friends called a tart.
    He said “All is fine
    And she is all mine”
    My heart says I’ve done something smart!

  2. A wealthy old fellow named Bart,
    Asked his doctor to take off a wart
    The thing was so jumbo,
    They used it in gumbo,
    And played catch with the spongier part

  3. Dr. Goose says:

    A wealthy old fellow named Bart
    Knew the Moonlight Sonata by heart;
    As he sat at the Steinway
    He said: “It’s a fine way
    To cover the noise when I fart!”

    Thanks Linkmeister and Robert. And Dr. Goose, the musician in me is still ROFLing over yours.

  5. Lisa Christian says:

    A wealthy old fellow named Bart
    Was in Mensa; he really was smart.
    He’d used all of his brains
    To make capital gains–
    Then some gold-digging tart stole his heart.

  6. A wealthy old fellow named Bart
    With finances, this fellow was smart
    When the stock market fizzled
    He stole and he chiseled
    And invested it all in Walmart.

  7. Allison says:

    A wealthy old fellow named Bart
    Was happy he’d gotten a start.
    From his family’s finances
    He had so many chances,
    He thought he was a breed apart.

  8. A wealthy old fellow named Bart
    Said he and his money won’t part.
    When out on a limb,
    his future looked dim,
    He married a rich broker quite smart!

  9. A wealthy old fellow named Bart
    Wheeled his genitals round in a cart
    He said, “My real wealth
    may lie beneath my belt
    but testes don’t buy apple tart.”

  10. A wealthy old fellow named Bart
    decided to sell his old heart.
    When we all asked “Why?”
    he said “I’d like to die.”
    He really was a greedy fart.
