I shivered and shook the night long,
Thought that it would be my "Swan Song",
'Cept daylight's pink glow,
And warmth that would grow,
Showed that I was stupid, yet strong.
--- Chris Papa

We struggled through the icy shore,
Feet freezing, cold, damp and sore,
Some lures we threw out,
And despite my doubt,
Found very good fishing in store.
--- Chris Papa

Decamping with half dozen trout,
Met boozers there on our way out.
All loaded with beer,
Not nice to be near,
It was a good move, without doubt.
--- Chris Papa

No sooner we hit the trail head,
Were struck with a thunderstorm dread.
Wet with dirt and grime,
We'd made it in time,
And felt in real need of a bed.
--- Chris Papa

We stopped at the Rural Motel,
I guessed we both looked quite like hell,
Like silence of tombs,
Were told, "Ain't no rooms."
Our hopes and our long faces fell.
--- Chris Papa

Lady owner relented in haste,
Assured her our motives were chaste,
As rooming we shared,
Wood pile we cared,
And thought of some food for the waist.
--- Chris Papa

On seeing our fine string of trout,
The welcome mat really rolled out.
And soon we would dine,
On sauteed trout fine.
A meal that was worth praise and shout.
--- Chris Papa

That night was the sleep of the dead,
With downy sweet warmth of soft bed,
Large breakfast delight,
Remarkable sight,
Hummingbirds there to be fed.
--- Chris Papa

The best of travails, you see,
Is that with a description free,
For years I've retold,
This true story bold,
Called, "How Dennis tried to kill me!"
--- Chris Papa

I once knew a lad who loved fishing.
At school he would sit there just wishing
To be out with his line;
To forget about time.
What angling hours he'd be missing.
--- Helen Dowd

One day he thought he would wander
To find a new stream way out yonder.
Some bait he did dig;
Then he picked up his rig.
With his dog, the day he would squander.
--- Helen Dowd

Down the trail, to the train tracks, he ambled.
There below, amongst bush, shrub, and bramble,
Lay a bubbling brook.
With excitement he shook,
As his rod, line and hook he unscrambled.
--- Helen Dowd

So the lad sat down perched on the trestle,
His mind on the fish he would wrestle.
With the line in the brook,
The worm on the hook,
He was deaf to the piercing train's whistle.
--- Helen Dowd

The dog from a dead sleep did jump,
When the freight train hit him with a thump.
The boy it did graze,
Leaving him in a daze,
With hardly a scratch or a bump.
--- Helen Dowd

With a screech, the train came to a stop;
From the engine the driver did hop.
His heart in his throat,
He managed to croak,
"Didn't see you, up there on the top.
--- Helen Dowd

The lad got all red in the face;
With outrage, back and forth, he did pace.
He spewed out his rage
Like a bear in a cage,
On the train for disturbing the peace.
--- Helen Dowd

How dare you give us such a fright!
The fish were just starting to bite.
My dog you did wake;
Just look at him shake.
With your train, you just hit us for spite.
--- Helen Dowd

He ran down the path in a temper;
The dog, quick for home now did scamper.
The lad's fun was gone
So he headed for home.
The mishap on his mood put a damper.
--- Helen Dowd

The moral of the story is this:
If one day you decide you will fish,
Don't be like this lad,
Ending up blazing mad.
'Cause he couldn't just fish where he wished.
--- Helen Dowd

We fish 'neath the blue Aussie sky,
'Tho hot western winds bake us dry;
But it gives us no cheer
Having drunk all our beer,
To find at the end a dead fly.
--- Q

"Fishing without beer is a bore!
Hang on, ain't that Johnsy on the shore?
Aw, what a good mate,
He's brought us a crate!
They just don't make mates like that anymore!"
--- Q

And the beer, oh how they did scull it;
But for the heat they couldn't dull it.
Johnsy dunked in his hair,
In it a fish ensnared,
Thus catching mullet with a mullet!
--- Big Mick Q

So he took it home, asked wife to fry it.
She said "Piss off mate, how 'bout YOU try it?"
He turned on the frypan
And then he burnt his hand.
So he said "Bugger this! We'll BirdsEye it!"
--- Big Mick Q

So he grabbed the salad and Caesar,
As he pulled fish fingers from freezer.
"Cooking for the wife
Always gets me in strife",
So he resolved never to try to please her!
--- Big Mick Q

My fishing trip rated as 'grand,'
I'm glad, though, to be back on land;
I've stored all my gear,
Except one thing dear:
I still have my pole here in hand.
--- Anon

I've tied down the sails, stashed the oars,
And hauled home the fish by the scores;
With all that now done
It's time to have fun
With all of you limerick whores.
--- Anon

In Morocco the weather's just right;
Breeze blowing, the sun shining bright.
For Branson again
To prove he's insane,
Attempting his round-the-world flight.

(he is a balloonist 1998)
--- Tiddy Ogg

When Timothy wanted to fly
He stood on a hilltop to try.
But he very soon found
That you can't leave the ground
Just by flapping your ears in the sky.
--- Funfax Limericks

A huge brightly-colored balloon
Soared aloft, one would think, for the moon.
To the passengers fright,
The gas failed to light,
And the costly trip ended too soon.
--- Frank Spectra

Now they sip at the end of the flight,
Some champagne, the balloonists' delight.
But that little band
Was so happy to land,
They'd be glad to swig cola that night.
--- Frank Spectra

There once was a glider, Advanced,
Who's antics resembled a dance.
While not quite divergent,
The trim was convergent,
Somewhere near the seat-of-the-pants.
--- Anon

As the para-glider floated nearby,
Its pilot called down from the sky,
"You'll more cautious become
Knowing what you hang from,
And also just what you hang by."
--- Richard Grant

Flying bagwings that came "off the rack",
She loved to go over the back.
Till one day in a rotor,
The ground rose and smote her,
And now she's much broader...and flat.

A naked hang-glider named Cass,
Was practicing landings on grass.
But she sailed past the lawn
And landed upon
The sidewalk and skinned up her ass!
--- Jim Weaver Collection

There was a young Welsh girl name Wanda,
Who came from the valley, from Rhonda.
At school she's not bright,
But all day and all night,
At hang-gliding she'll soar like a condor!
--- Arthur Pattaffy

His hobby -- a large hot air balloon;
His ambition -- to rise to the moon.
But a mishap in the flight,
The fabric grew too tight,
And it burst. His life ended too soon.
--- Arthur Pattaffy

The large hot air balloon is a wow;
It's black and white; looks like a cow.
A mistake by the trade
As it was being made;
It's three times its planned size. What comes now?
--- Arthur Pattaffy

Gliding is to fly like a bird.
It sounds crazy? Think. It's not absurd.
You are sailing quite high
'Tween the earth and the sky,
Where only sounds of nature are heard.
--- Arthur Pattaffy

The late Carleton C Conway had found,
That an Immelman turn was unsound!
If your co-pilot's dead
Or giving you head,
Or your sail-plane is still on the ground.

There was a young boy in Shanghai,
Who made kites that could rise to the sky.
When to heaven they'd soar,
And he'd see them no more,
He thought gods needed kites they could fly.
--- Warrick Elrod

The student-from-hell took a flight,
But ended up geting a fright.
Above the LZ
He locked up. You see,
He just couldn't get landings right.

(LZ - landing zone)
--- John Little

There was a young fellow called Guy,
Who desperately wished he could fly,
He made himself wings,
Out of paper and things,
And very soon fell from the sky.
--- Guy Phillips age 10,P0112

There was a young man they called Gumbo,
Who wanted to fly in a Jumbo;
He'd look in the sky
Whilst eating a pie,
And fantasized that he was Dumbo.
--- Anon

A cock-stroking slacker named Gumbo
Would wank to old drawings of Dumbo.
He'd come by the pound,
And float off the ground,
While farting like jets on a Jumbo.
--- Anon

Remember that fellow named Bly,
The one who had thought he could fly...
Well he took to the air,
With magnificent flair
On -- you guessed it -- the 4th of July.
--- Bob Birch P0800

There was once an old mother quite spry,
Who go shot by a cannon very quite high.
She woke up in fright,
On a plane in mid-flight,
And landed in a country near by!
--- Anon

There was an old lady of Tooting
Who wanted to learn parachuting.
Though they tried to repress her,
She jumped from the dresser,
A perfect vol-plane executing.
--- Linda Marsh Coll

Lets find ourselves a small plane;
We'll parachute, my dear Jayne,
And do something new
For this limerick crew,
Though I'm not sure if it's really sane.
--- Archie

Our parachutes are not off the shelf;
I've packed them and checked them myself.
They're now very safe
(Barring a bad gaffe)
So your butterflies you should quellf.
--- Archie

So we jump and now start to screw,
As down through the air we both flew.
At three thousand feet,
Our ripcords we greet --
And just before that, I withdrew.
--- Archie

Our landing is right on the dot,
And injured? Of course, we are not.
But you're in a muddle,
Why land in a puddle?
Once again you've found the wet spot.
--- Archie

"Why, yes, Sir," he said, "I'm an ace.
I've scored after many a chase,
And got in more pants
In England and France
Than Ireland, where I had a brace."
--- John Miller

"Aloft, there is only the wind,"
The lecherous glider jock grinned.
"The beauty of scoring
While peacefully soaring --
She's hardly aware when she's sinned."

When you fly in the sky, be aware
That the middle contains the most air!
So don't soar near the edge
Or beneath a hedge,
As it's likely you'll get a bad scare.
--- David Miller

No matter, when getting a boff
I've found (Please refrain from your scoff!)
A hair-raising stunt
While deep in their cunt,
Does wonders at getting them off.
--- John Miller

A hyper young lady named Jean
Made a jump from a huge trampoline;
She bounced to the sky
So incredibly high;
To this day, she has yet to be seen.
--- Cap'n Bean P0505

There was a young man from New Haven,
Who thought he could fly like a raven.
His extremities flapped
As the onlookers clapped,
But his undercarriage caught in the paven.
--- Richard Jean

This story is true, not a fable:
A chap on a bridge said "I'm able,
Though bungy I lack,
To bounce down and back,
By using this bit of old cable."
--- Anon

No sooner 'twas said than decided.
Around his left leg the fool tied it.
So over he started,
At the end his foot parted;
He wishes now that he'd not tried it.
--- Anon

His efforts we must then applaud,
Though he fell from the end of that cord;
His foot's never discovered
But the moron's recovered,
And did not win the Darwin Award.
--- Anon

There once was a fellow Gymnastic
Whose feats were a trifle fantastic;
He jumped from Big Ben,
And then sprang back again,
With the aid of a piece of elastic.
--- P8306

A girl who lived out in Balwearie
Thought her life dull, boring, and dreary.
So she went bungee-jumping,
But took quite a bumping,
And her vision became a bit bleary.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

A man who loved to bungee jump
Once jumped off a big camel's hump.
But it didn't hold fast,
And that jump was his last;
He crashed in a big camel dump.
--- Anon

So Archie, have you copulated?
Or mutually masturbated
With a chick on elastic?
Was it fantastic?
Was she the best that you've mated?
--- Jayne

So Jayne, you are scared of heights too?
Now tell me, what did I do,
On that scary jump.
Well -- who did I hump?
For I had my eyes closed tight too!
--- Archie
