This is file jam
It's true, I'm a talented genius, In limericks it's often the plan The truth of the matter, I fear, The juxtaposition of consonants So visiting's out, but who cares? A good limerick is certain to vex Most limericks that I have seen I've given up sex for a while; Azul will so seldom attack us (Azul - Frequently Asked Questions for alt.arts.limericks)
Can a limerick be funny yet clean? If limerick writers seem lecherous, Danny? Hey Danny! Stop snoring!

In front a rug to us inspire,
As we lay side by side,
Love burns in my eyes
And my fingers explore with desire.

God this just feels so right.
I'd like to pretend
The night never ends,
But a new one will start at twilight.

The verse for a poet at play;
But for old maids and prudes
And Puritan dudes,
It's the sign of vile moral decay.

And don't get your nose in a snooty.
If you rhyme just for fun
And don't dangle a pun,
Your bananas won't taste quite as fruity.

It's a fruit with a peel
And you're winning the deal,
With a fresh bite of old yellow, Jack.

If you do it right.
But POETIC? I've not found a lot.

But deep in December,
They're sweet to remember
'Neath skies that are sullen and gray.

This limerick, without any profanity.

The limerick's brevity
Encourages levity,
And keeps one from getting too serious

The in satisfaction to sunbathe. (bask)

Which is still just as witty,
Without sounding shitty,
Or using some stock word like "quim."

As a form fixed, unmoved and unshaken.
There is room to explore
Rhyme, rhythm, and more,
As long as the mickey is taken. (mickey finn??)

But soon he'll be making amends,
For committing the crime
Of trailing his rhymes,
With a pen name he stole from two pens.

Distorted and strange, hollow sounding.
No lims in the air;
I lurk in dispair.
All I hear is my own heartbeat bounding.

Through long barren halls and rebounding
From ceiling and floor,
Obscuring the door
Where the Reaper is silently pounding.

Has now got me pondering,
If ladies are wandering
Around in 'per verse' resolution.

He said with a laugh
"I cut them in half,
The pay is much better for two."

The ones with those wicked hard toys?
Who every night
Could rhyme at the sight
Of pussies and titties -- such joy!

Though gentleness I will not knock.
As tragedy bores
In G & S scores,
So lims should allude to some cock!

The fault is paternal
Or could be maternal:
Depends on which one has the itch!
--- Anon
I haunt it to get my week's ration
Of lims, raunch and bawdy;
Then hide it, by gawdy,
To be ribald is just not in fashion!

They just might be naughty
Or possibly bawdy --
But much that is naughty is nice.

Though they think we oughter,
Use just holy water,
We'd rather use rude bawdy verse.

And all one can do
Is appealing as poo;
It's certain one can't be too bright.

Something dirty, incredibly lewd;
Like an underaged louse
Getting screwed by a mouse,
Or the queen-mum is bathing all nude!'

To all of you wizards,
I say: "Leaping Lizards!
"Good Heavens!" and "My goodness gracious!"

Those tales about Titian
And dumb mathematician,
Were writ on the walls of the ark.

That bilingual wench
Even tried it in French.
But her quest to profane was patheticut!

No 'wrong' words will ever be seen
In limericks I write
Or prosily shite,
Since I'm apt to say what I mien.

Our verses are rude
And are frequently crude;
They would likely cause Grandma to splutter.

Quite covered the table for diners,
With horrible scraps
Of sexual mishaps,
Of those who agreed and decliners.

Written with pure glee;
I've even read some that are rude!

But, a secret, if kept here betweenius,
Is that chicks who like lims
Deny me their quims,
Because of my penius teenius.

Who did this or that
With a dog or a cat,
That few of the rest of us can.

Most work-a-day folks
On reading those jokes,
Would wonder why we think them queer.

And an opus of vowels
Thrills me through to my bowels,
And causes a stir in my underpants.

A Limerick can catch unawares.
So words we may trade;
Get verbally laid.

The 15 percent
Of adults who lament
That TV is more thrilling than sex.

A bunch that are actually clean!

Till my willy has shrunk,
And avoid all things vulgar and vile.

Instead of a fucking machine,
Could you write about shopping,
Or cooking or mopping,
Now I'm joking, and just being mean.

They're often as mild
As an infant or child --
On that you can jolly well bet yourous.

You; lims with no sex
Which I trust won't perplex
You. (But fuck it; they're awfully boring).

Our staid population
Proscribes copulation,
And won't let me use the word 'fuck'."

It's certainly not a disgrace --
But the ones that are dirty,
Sexy, sassy, and flirty,
Sure put a smile on my face!

The rhymes must be right,
The meter set tight,
The wit should be clever and keen.

And charmingly sleazy,
So don't decent verses malign!

The obscenities clouding my mind
Have all vanished away.
On this glorious day
I feel dignified, clean and refined.

So I'd better quit, (not before time,)
And I'm getting quite maud-
lin and you'll be bored,
So farewell, 'fore I'm dropped in the slime.

We must compose all our words without haste.
With allusions, be crafty;
Without clothes, it's drafty!
Those fingers keep well interlaced!

To create a clean limerick.
It's so hard to do that it's MEAN!

But not being entendre'd
Is usually quite ineffectual.

Would temper his tension
And interfere with his insanity.

Those accordion pleats,
Full of airy conceits,
Take it up like a kite on a string.

Oh well, guess that's life.
I'll play with my fife
And try to improve this foul mood.

Nor of hermits we speak,
So give them more slime at the cores.

With Dantesque depth -- allegoric;
In lieu of the drivel
Which makes our brains shrivel,
I crave some phantasmagoric.

I prefer that humor be shrewed
Or rather subtle,
So in rebuttal,
Rarely do I need to be crude.

Of those I have read,
There's no mention of head,
Nor of doggy-positions with nurses.
