With bucket and spade by the sea,
Sue gathers shellfish for her tea.
When she sat on a winkle
it got stuck in her wrinkle,
now she’s all bunged up and can’t pee.

Author Notes
Translations:
'Tea' is what some UK English speakers call dinner, or the evening meal.
The word 'winkle' is short for periwinkle, the name of a marine or freshwater snail. Periwinkle is ultimately derived from Latin pina, the name of a mussel, and Old English wincle, a snail shell.
Please keep in mind that limericks are traditionally pitched towards rather rude topics. Some people might think this should have a warning for sexual content. Haha! Wait till you see some of my other limericks!
