Limerick Poems About Canary | Canary Limerick Poems

Queen of her stage

There once was a canary full of rage.
Who shrewdly trapped a sly cat in her cage.
Without a feather ruffled
and Kittie's meows muffled,
she now ruled the roost, as queen of her stage!

Seventh Inning Streach

Seventh Inning Stretch 
Limerick

I once knew a man, first name Harry,
A “Cubbie” fan, last name was Carey
He sang at each Cub game,
When the 7th inning came,
And was never mistaken for a canary;

“Take me out to the ball game”

Napoleon Complex

I sense a Napoleon complex
As Joe the canary his wings flex
He stretches tall and proud
Squawks and shrieks really loud
At the Seagull who has huge, huge pecs  

Joe the Canary

Joe the Yellow Canary
Lives  next door to sweet Mary
A frog came in her house
Poor Mary gave a big rouse
Joe gave a shriek like fury 

No Canary Was She

Knew a young lady named Cherie
Had an attitude that was always merry
Tripped on a stone
Broke a few bones
She certainly didn't sing like a canary

Cagey Canary Cat Caught

You love to chase the old cow,
and make the kitten go meow,
I have put you in your place,
now no one left to chase.
I got you~let me take a bow.

sky witch

once an old witch from dunderry

would ride on something quite scary

did it sing did it dance

did it wear checkered pants

no twas a hairy canary.

Big Bird

A famous TV star is called 'Big Bird'
At Thanksgiving he's at a loss for words --
   His fellow birds are eaten
   Down is his spirit beaten --
What eight-foot canary is not absurd?

Cagey Canary

The canary sat atop his cage,
And thought to himself, I got you Paige!
While Paige sat trapped in tight,
Thinking about the fight,
And plotting to kill in angry rage.

Lithe As a Fairy

Eating sensibly is the name of the game
No more gorging, that's not good for our frame
Getting lithe as a fairy
Singing like a canary
Happy as poop I'm no longer shamed

Tact

Just saying my canary was alive before you got here
Could it be your perfume? No offence to you, my dear
Common sense has eluded me
Need more tact I agree
Should have said, you're prettier that you appear!

A Tone-Deaf Woman

A tone-deaf woman in Tucumcari 
made a wish to sing like a canary
Her perpetual sadness
has now turned to gladness
It’s just eat, tweet and be merry!

A Talking Canary

Three manic morons: Moe, Curly, Larry
  Ante up for a talking canary ~
    It attracts boobirds
    They cry, 'How absurd' ~ 
  Clever jokers rename her 'Miss Carrie'

Witchcraft

Two drops of blood a pinch of fur
In the pot she started to stir
Then a magic word
That none of us heard
We wondered what next would occur

The boiling water was scary
A monster ugly and hairy
We were all afraid
For what had she made
It was just a green canary

Cheshire's Chagrin

Cat and canary at odds through the day
A game of chase hunts his delicious prey
But Tweety turns tables
Just like Aesop’s fables 
End game birdy tweets, hubris doesn’t pay!

Tweeter My Canary

Judy said her friend's perfume was much too severe
Her canary Tweeter, was alive before she got there
Loved Tweeter so much
He was so old, he needed a crutch
Flew with a limp, I cried when he died, buckets of tears

A Canary and Cat Tale

A clever, caged yellow canary
tricked his foe, a cat big and scary.
He flew out with some luck.
Cat walked in and got stuck.
 Silly cat should have been more wary.

Saw Trump In a Cemetary

Saw Trump In A Cemetary

We just saw Trump in a cemetary
Looking at grave of his cute canary;
With all his followers;
Blooming idiot flowers;
Moved to city declared a sanctuary.

Cagey Canary

Tom thought in his nine lives he saw it all, 
He languorously preyed on weak and small, 
Times change, tweet they, 
Tom’s now the prey - 
His predator triumphantly stands tall

Bush Had Become Legendary

Bush Had Become Legendary

In choir, Bush was known to be legendary; 
Had heard he could sing just like a canary; 
We realized, 
Milk homogenized; 
Scare cows who they did milk daily in dairy.

He never tried to milk anyone and was the
kindest President we will have ever known.

Sage Bird

There once was a yellow canary sage, 
Who trapped a naughty cat in a cage
With feathers so bright, 
It plotted all night, 
Till the cat escaped and ate it in rage.

Leery Canary

My canary keeps a pet cat;
that used to be sat on a mat,
but now it is caged
and slightly enraged;
to the bird, it’s just tit for tat!

Crafty Maneuver

The house cat unlatched the cage door;

Squeezed in to then find he's done for.

A quick turn-about

Canary flew out!

Cat's stuck, and bird's free to explore!

UH-OH—SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG!
SO NOW I'M SUPPOSED TO BURST INTO SONG?
            I'LL TEACH THAT BIRD A NOTE
            JUST LET ME AT HIS THROAT
THEN I'LL SING DINNER MUSIC ALL DAY LONG!

The life of a magicians cat is dread
Especially when old spells are misread
He magicked a canary
But alas, O'contrary
I ended up in the darn cage instead
