From Nantucket: A Series

• Artist: Pixi4Life
• Description: These are classified as limericks. They were first popularized in 1845 by a man named Edward Lear.
  The first known version of the "Man from Nantucket" was so popular, in 1924, The Chicago Tribune started a "Limerick Challenge" open to anyone, to come up with a sequel.
  I came up with my own. I was in Spanish class, when I was in grade ten, and I wrote these to kill some time. I even made them in to little books with drawings and everything.
  Any structured criticism is welcomed. Thanks for voting.

There once was a man from Nantucket.
Who ate KFC from the bucket.
_____One day he looked in,
_____And inside the bin,
There was nothing there.
So he starved!


There once was a wife from Nantucket.
Whose husband ate KFC from the bucket.
_____One day she took his chicken,
_____And Hid it the kitchen,
Then waited for his hunger to starve him.
Then she ate it by his coffin!


There once was a son from Nantucket.
Who longed to eat KFC from the bucket.
_____But he feared his mother,
_____Who he knew killed his father,
And stuck to her cooking to please her!


There once was a daughter from Nantucket.
Who feared KFC in a bucket.
_____It ruined her family,
_____Made her mother go crazy,
And her brother got sick from her cooking!
