There was a poor girl from Penang

Who charmed birds from the trees when she sang

It's worthwhile narrating

The birds were migrating

And smothered the girl from Penang
Now then - I think this is humorous even though it ends in tragedy, so I have put it in the Limerick category.

It might raise an upturned curvy lip, even if it doesn't produce a grin or guffaw.

Rev 1 - removed the word "poor" from the last line to keep the timing right(ish)

It does have good flow. The tregedy is fine. I agree it still belongs in the limerick section. No guffaw but definitely an upcurled lip!
