The violence which mankind has hurled,
In massacres which have unfurled,
In many a far place,
Is the brutal face
Of our GRAND GUIGNOL of the world.
--- Chris Papa

A hot-blooded GRANDEE of Spain
Bedded his wife, once again.
She said, "It is true
That your blood is blue,
But with PID, I have great pain.

(PID - pelvic inflammatory disease, usually gonorrhea)
--- Chris Papa

Elevated to the rank of GRANDEE,
He chuckled with internal glee.
"To demonstrate my might,
Today, from great height,
On my inferiors I will pee."
--- Norm Brust

There once was a GRANDEE named Fletcher,
Who had an idea to catch her!
He was doomed from the start;
He had a faint heart.
They carried him out on a stretcher.
--- Barb

GRATUITOUS, "free as the larks",
Like passes at old baseball parks,
Is something too grand;
On the other hand,
When GRATUITOUS precedes "remarks".
--- Chris Papa

GRATUITOUS violence and sex?
Don't go to local cineplex;
What's seen on TV,
Here or across sea --
What most we abhore, news reflects.
--- Darryl

Superfluous is GRATUITOUS,
As slimy gobs are pituitous.
When in spitting war,
The cad evens score,
With bombs and tries to spit two at us.
--- Daniel Ford

The GRAVAMEN of suing spouse,
In shedding her hubby, the louse,
Was "sex on the side",
To help judge decide
That she should keep more than the house.
--- Chris Papa

GRAVAMEN, to court we travel,
And in Halls of Justice unravel,
Mid conflicting pleas,
Why Monica's knees,
Look like abrasions from gravel.
--- Chris Papa

She doesn't quite live in a hovel,
Or work with a long-handled shovel,
So one might surmise,
What's seen with our eyes,
Is not from some gravel, but grovel.
--- Chris Papa

A trogdolyte monk of depravity,
Lured lass to iniquitous cavity.
She liked to play there,
And soon his dark lair,
Became her new center of GRAVITY.
--- Chris Papa

A heavenly body's GRAVITY
Attracts some others of suavity.
But if their joint motion
Ain't slowed by devotion,
It may lead to some concavity.
--- Daniel Ford

The GRAVITY here on the ground
Is bound to surround you, I've found.
But in space there's no weight
And no diets; that's great!
And no further I'll need to expound.
--- Gary Hallock

Some poor ladies suffer the fate,
Selecting some guy for a mate,
Who says that he will
While he has his fill,
With GREEK CALENDS as nuptual date.
--- Chris Papa

Financial piracy of GREENMAIL
In the face of Enron does seem pale.
Hijacking the states'
Right to set the rates
Is at odds with the judge who would deem bail.
--- Daniel Ford

The gaggle of geese GREGARIOUS
Were hopping and honking hilarious,
As barking dogs raced
Through droppings that graced
The lakefront lawns so nefarious.
--- Daniel Ford

The Archer's sign, Sagittarius,
And Water-Bearer Aquarius,
At once cantankerous
And a wee rancorous;
Nonetheless, both are GREGARIOUS.
--- Larry McGrath

Young ladies by nature GREGARIOUS,
Who hope to remain nulliparous,
The hermits in these
Rhymes should not tease,
Lest rectitude become precarious.
--- J'Carlin

One's health is always precarious,
Exposed to germs, many and various.
So it makes good sense
To practice self-defense
By avoiding activities GREGARIOUS.
--- Norm Brust

A young lad with manner GREGARIOUS,
Sought girls in new ways various,
But all he could find
Were men of like mind,
Seeking action nefarious.
--- Chris Papa

I think it is so hilarious
That some gals are so GREGARIOUS;
But often thought bold
With charms to be sold,
By guys who are really nefarious!
--- Barb

Couples hot, unable to wait,
All eager to rush wedding date,
To GRETNA GREEN run
To jump start the fun,
And honeymoon really first-rate.
--- Chris Papa

The quickie marriage on GRETNA GREEN
May not be soon smashed to smithereens,
But note at parkside,
That less cautious bride
Who was known as Lady Mondegreen.
--- Daniel Ford

It's really a comical scene,
Those quicky nups in GRETNA GREEN.
A hurried "I do";
Forget "I love you."
Life is simple when you're seventeen.
--- Norm Brust

I am here today to confide,
That K-Y with bort on inside,
Won't lubricate much,
Is painful to touch,
And will make most moist organs GRIDE.
--- Chris Papa

Like some say, we'll treat those who GRIFT,
When they have our decency miffed,
With sublime objects,
Like stretching their necks,
Using the just hangman's lift.
--- Chris Papa

Let us hope that justice is swift
For those who would perpetrate GRIFT,
So they may join flocks
Of those pounding rocks,
That's jail-time, if you catch my drift.
--- Chris Papa

The ease with which grifters gain GRIFT
Often has me feeling quite miffed.
It's just not enough
To complain of such stuff,
'Cause now I'm the one who's been stiffed.
--- Daniel Ford

The con man who engages in GRIFT
In society's fabric makes rift.
Losing public trust,
Civilities rust,
And rough justice, hanging, should come swift.
--- Daniel Ford

As lively and bright as a GRIG,
Who dances so sprightly a jig.
I never have been
Since when I was thin
And people then called me a sprig.
--- Daniel Ford

But now that you have a big rump,
With waistline in which fat rolls clump,
Too bad that you're taller,
Since if you were smaller,
I'd certainly call you a stump.
--- Chris Papa

Grimalkins are cats old and grey,
All dozing their way through the day.
Except when a mouse
Runs right through the house,
And gets caught, much to its dismay.
--- Barb

I'm sure to the Toms it makes sense,
To love our GRIMALKIN, instense.
Except I don't care
To know they are there;
Serenading our puss on the fence.
--- Chris Papa

This is file ivl

A sparky and profligate welder
Seduced a young girl called GRISELDA.
She, meek while he welded,
Was swiftly Zeigfelded --
No wiser, but certainly elder.
--- Nick Lanyon

When it comes to amassing of shoes,
The champ we are certain to choose
Is Marco's Imelda,
Who was no GRISELDA
And still hardly has paid her dues.
--- Chris Papa

Sand in Vaseline isn't pretty.
We, the unwiting users, pity.
Expecting smooth glide
Along with the ride,
But greeted with plowing GRITTY.
--- Chris Papa

The persistent ones seen as GRITTY,
Are not often thought of as witty.
While they are plucky,
We hope they're not schmucky
Or nebbishes like Walter Mitty.
--- Daniel Ford

When Brittania did rule the waves,
Which kept tars from too early graves,
And scurvy's dark fog,
Was lime with their GROG,
A pleasant elixir for saves.
--- Chris Papa

Diluted rum was quickly called GROG,
Which sailors throught more suited to frog.
But French did not whine
For any but wine,
Leaving those tars aground in the bog.
--- Daniel Ford

A new word I learn now and then,
GROK is Martian way to say "ken",
Or "dig it", you see,
And obviously,
A usage for teen denizen.
--- Chris Papa

The reinforced eyelet is GROMMET,
Through which goes the aglet as comet,
Zipping thus right through
To lace up your shoe;
Any more cute stuff and I'll vomit.
--- Daniel Ford

A GROMMET to pull the lace through,
Works best when you're tying your shoe.
First left, then the right,
You pull it real tight.
Then start it all over anew.
--- Observer

The GROTESQUE limerick unreasonable,
With such lax morals treasonable,
Is but brought to mind
With weather, the kind
That makes such bad thought only seasonable.
--- Chris Papa

In Greenland there was GROTESQUE guy,
Who thought native girls he might try.
But none of them "poked"
And so he then yoked
With reindeer who were grazing by.
--- Chris Papa

In Alaska, never you fear,
Yens sexual for any reindeer
Are never quite sought,
Or GROTESQUELY thought,
With Musk Oxen conveniently near.
--- Barb

The GROUNDLING of ignoble birth
Finds in his farts unbidled mirth;
Though poor and despised
And in rags disguised,
'Tis said he'll "inherit the Earth."
--- Chris Papa

The GROUNDLING life's often the pits;
For in the mud is where he sits.
He's seeing the play,
But that's not to say,
He avoids where the upper crust spits.
--- Daniel Ford

Sometimes small investment we make,
By offering up a GRUBSTAKE.
Don't know if return
Will be enough to earn,
Or simply the grubbing of fake.
--- Chris Papa

Investors' seed money, GRUBSTAKE,
Is proffered in hope they can take
Ten to hundred fold
Investment in gold,
Then do it again for greed's sake.
--- Daniel Ford

Entrepreneurs jump at the chance,
With hardly any backward glance,
For building coffers
With other's proffers,
And slipping the gold in their pants.
--- Daniel Ford

To be GUDGEON, with senses dulled,
Like widgeon, an odd bird, thick skulled.
One waits for a crook,
To set out his hook,
Then, Wham!, a new sucker is gulled.
--- Chris Papa

The term "guinea pig" is abused,
Since in lay terms it's often used
To describe what I fear
Was once called "volunteer",
Which may keep some doctors confused.
--- Harold

There was a guy in every sex gig,
Great handfuls of garlic would swig.
Till Rosina said,
As he hopped into bed,
"Geddout, you dumba "GUINEA PIG!"
--- Chris Papa

There are those who think Guinea Pigs cute
But they are certainly not mute.
In plastic houses they zoom
Inside your classroom,
And you get to clean them, to boot.
--- Barb

The under-chin skin folds are GULAR,
Evidence of an aged ruler,
Whose table setting
Wattle is getting,
Like man, a rakish old schooler.
--- Daniel Ford

Our President, a gifted tooler,
With ladies, more hot than cooler,
Regardless of votes,
Has yen for "Deep Throats",
Beats "oral" sex, when it is "GULAR".
--- Chris Papa

Though lust with gust some prudes would dis,
Its vitalness we must not miss.
The practice, it's clear,
Is how come we're here;
As source of pure humor, it's bliss.
--- Elois

Over limericks some have fumed and fussed,
Because verse is of sex and lust.
To those few I'd say,
'Tis better to play
And hail with lascivious GUST.
--- Chris Papa

An oenophile takes keen delight, GUST,
In varieties coming from must,
When flavors golden
Hint of molds olden,
Have escaped the most killing leaf rust.
--- Daniel Ford

"Consume" is a nice way to say "eat".
As euphemism, "ingest" is neat.
But we stop being subtle
When we use the word GUTTLE,
To describe how men inhale meat.
--- Norm Brust

Potatoes, the staple of Mick,
Gave him a pot belly thick.
The spuds he'd guttle;
There's no rebuttal --
He's now diabetic and sick.
--- Chris Papa

Voracious, onmivirous, devouring,
Gourmandise, Falstaffian, empowering;
There's nothing subtle
About the verb "To GUTTLE."
It conjures up an appetite that's towering.
--- Norm Brust

The guzzling gourmand does oft GUTTLE
His food in such a shuffling shuttle,
That one must take care
He takes not your share,
As he strives starvation to scuttle.
--- Daniel Ford

Guys from den to kitchen shuttle,
Getting beer and chips to GUTTLE.
Then with big head,
Go off to bed,
Leaving mess for wife to buttle.
--- Elois

The honeymoon bride would perplex
And with some bladder problems, there vex.
But still, all in all,
Was held in great thrall
By the regular GYMKHANA of sex.
--- Chris Papa

There certainly wouldn't be anarchy
If editing limericks were a GYNARCHY,
Monks would be flailed,
And hermits all jailed,
And pols all chided just for malarkey.
--- J'Carlin

Women govern -- GYNOCRACY,
As subtle form of democracy,
Wherein GYNOCRACY
Starts at menarche,
And men discover autocracy.
--- Daniel Ford
