Great Gatsby Limericks


Coming to West Egg
West egg is where my rented home’s at
My home is not  much more than a flat
the unfashionable side
where new money resides
My neighbor, is quite the cool cat.


~ Nick Caraway





A Broken Nose
Shes my mistress but shes not my friend
Ten dollars for her dog I will spend
But When she crosses a line
Naming that woman who’s mine
I’ll ill hit and Her nose’l never mend

~Tom Buchanan 



He’s Back!
Gatsby? What gatsby? oh right!
My old love is back in the light
Tom? I don’t care.
I’ll start an affair
this feeling I just cannot fight.

Daisy Buchanan 



She’s Here!
Five years I’ve waited and planned
I’ve been grooming my own brand of grand
At first there was gloom
But then we filled the room
With love. This was better than planned

~Jay Gatzby



My Son Jimmy Gatz
When He left home young I was sad
but I see the great life that he had
He changed his name
and gathered fame
No matter, I’m still Jimmy’s dad


~Henry Gatz



Funeral
I want someone to show their grief
that Gatsby’s life was brief
but no one will come
these people are dumb
They all just show signs of relief.

~Nick Carraway
