 Hooks And Cooks  

By Paul Mc Cann

 

There  once was a cod on a hook ,

Caught by a hungry Captains Cook .

The good Captain and all the crew ,

They sat down to cod liver stew ,

And the cod at last lost the hook .

 

 

 

 

Footnote 

 



Irish soldiers on returning from war to their home town of Limerick began reciting a line of poetry to kill the time. One by one each soldier added a line to the verse which they affectionately called The Limerick.

Edward Lear introduced the Limerick to English Poetry .

The basic rule is that lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme, while lines 3 and 4 rhyme
