Poems From the Island of Nantucket: Limericks of the Rich and Famous

1. There once was a guy in L.A.,
   Who was a wood-worker by trade.
   But, now he's a star,
   And he still has a scar.
   And, 20 million per movie he's paid.
2. There once was a guy named Chuck,
   Who was always down on his luck.
   So he drew some cartoons
   And called them legumes.
   But he still thought himself a schmuck.
3. There once was a woman who penned,
   Novels and plays for West End.
   In many domains,
   Like indians and trains,
   But murders were always a trend.
4. There once was a guy named Zimmerman,
   Whose Freewheelin' album went platinum.
   He gave his old name a rest
   'cause the new one was best.
   And it came from a poet from Britain.
5. A woman was famous from Chicago,
   Though she grew up in a town called Kosciusko.
   But what still isn't plain,
   Did she just like the name,
   Or was her favorite Marx Brother Harpo?
6. There once was a woman from Cali,
   Who was a star in music and TV.
   You may not believe this,
   But she dueted with Beavis,
   And also made lots of movies.
7. There once was a man form New York,
   Whose religion forbade eating pork.
   His first name may sound phallic,
   But it's not metallic.
   And in his movies he stars as a dork.
8. There once was a gal from the North,
   Whose wealth has risen in worth,
   Since she was John's mate,
   And incited debate,
   About what she'd seen from her porch.
9. There once was a guy from New Jersey,
   With great athletic ability.
   But, in Kalamazoo
   Is where he went to school,
   Before signing on with the Yankees.
10. There once was a martial arts guy,
    Who threw in his hat to vie,
    For control of the state,
    As a candidate,
    From the party of Rent's too damn high.
