Limerick schimerick

Does a swan sleep on a lake?
In the cold does it quiver and quake?
In the dead of the night
Under the pale moonlight
What a beautiful sight it must make.

The duck slept on a pond
When it woke it stretched and yawned
It set off with a flourish
To catch a scurrying catfish
The day had finally dawned.

A limerick must be nonsensical
As far as possible, farcical
It must have in it
An inkling of wit
And at least one end of a popsicle
