A Limerick from Nantucket

Two men planned to go to Nantucket,

A ferry was found, they did book it,

At the pier said Michelle,

“You are first, you did swell!”

Then the boat arrived and they took it!

.

To the island the couple did hop,

From the boat arriving at the dock,

That PM they did choose,

To purchase shirts and shoes,

As they frequented shop after shop!

.

The wandering was an awful fright, 

Due to the birthday hangover blight,

To their room they did flee,

And watched H-G-T-V,

And took to bed for an early night!

.

On Sunday morn the weather was wet,

Time for a run to build up a sweat,

But Mark went the wrong way,

The right route, ‘Chelle did say,

The run ending at nine kilomet!

.

After the run, energy was due,

They hunted for a pizza or two,

Watched the golf in the cold,

Where wine and clams were sold,

And warmed in a super-heated loo!

.

The final day the sun was a star,

The Handlebar Cafe, not that far,

They drank cups of Nit-ro,

Working a route to go,

On to Chatham, a drive in the car!
