Two limericks

There was a young lady from Ryde
Who ate some apples and died.
The apples fermented
Inside the lamented
And made cider inside her inside.

There was a young lady of Rio
Who tried to play Handel's Grand Trio
But her pace was so scanty
She took it Andante
Instead of Allegro con brio.

A 'limerick' is a humorous poem, popularized by Edward Lear, made up of five lines:
lines 1, 2 and 5 have seven to ten syllables and rhyme with one another; lines 3 and 4 have five to seven syllables and rhyme with each other (see also: www.poetry-online.org/limericks.htm).
