Anyone up for a Limerick?

Tough year so far...how about a limerick or two for the fun of it?
An auction was held back in June.
A coin there I wanted real soon.
With the onset of Covid,
I placed the next high bid,
Now the price is over the moon.
Walked into a well known old coin shoppe,
the clerk held his hand out & yelled Stop!
There's one thing I ask,
you must wear a mask,
now hat, scarf, and gloves are still your opt.

I've written limericks a number of times
And have developed a talent for rhymes
I might even turn pro
If it paid any dough
Since it doesn't, I'll stick to my dimes
Coin limericks are OK.....As long as you're not from Nantucket.

He who knows he has enough is rich.
I knew an old collector named Bill
He pursued his passion just for the thrill
When in came to retire
The collection looked dire
and so now he works 'hind the till
“We are only their care-takers,” he posed, “if we take good care of them, then centuries from now they may still be here … ”

I like my coins of gold
Really quite pretty I'm told
With rising spot,
The market is hot,
So buying is presently on hold.
Cheers, RickO
There once was a man from Texas
Who traded his coins for a Lexus
But the his wife got the car
Now he sits in a bar
Plotting the fate of his Exes.
There once was a man who at birth
was given a coin of great worth.
He spent all he had
Which made him quite sad
So he tried to sell that coin of great worth.
But to add to his mistake
The coin was a fake.
Alas ... No more coin of great worth.
And keep your coins in a bucket?
I’m in the mood for a raspberry lime rickey while reading limericks
Chance favors the prepared mind.
From my youth:
Roses are red
Lincoln is dead
His house is empty
And so is your head.

I have some good ones, but not for this forum.....
Used to compose them on mid-watch in the Navy (at sea, when all was quiet in the Radio Shack). We would post them on the message board... The Old Man (Captain for you land lubbers) would make a daily visit just to read them. When there were no new one's he would ask why.... Cheers, RickO

Keep your day jobs.
Ricko's non-published ones may be a bit more interesting.

I don't come here for poetry
It's just coins that I want to see
If I wanted your prose
In lieu of photos
Then somewhere else I'd be
There once was a man from Nantucket
who said oh what I'd do for a Ducat
Not an Austrian, not a Belgian
Not a Dutch or a German
No, but a Russian
for which he'd be blushin...
You want me to write down a rhyme,
with rhythm, tempo, and time...
can't do it now, but
can't hear you, say what??
too busy studying a dime.
There once was a Man from Nantucket
Who kept his Gold coins in a bucket
His Wife came along
And sang in a song
Can I fish around for a Ducat?
