With the size of the guys;
Now there's bigger things rocking the earth.

A sheep or a goose or a duck.
But ladies beware,
And check over there.
Some seem to be just out of luck.

I'm trying to play in the game.
Whatever I try,
It seems bye and bye,
Is simply just more of the same.
--- Rich Grise
It might take a bit of your time
To find words that match.
But there is a catch!
Writing stupid crap should be a crime.

In dreaming of girls that I've missed.
I see them go by
And while wondering why,
I service myself with my fist.

Male limerickers, when they are grouped,
Start struttin' and crowin'
(Thank gods they ain't showin')
And brag how their gizmos ain't drooped.

My Gizmo now stands to attention.
I'll not masturbate,
Instead I will wait
And pray for your prompt intervention.

I'd be ground to pulp
Before I could gulp --
Or do anything else obscene.
--- Anon
Whose addiction some folks think is a curse.
Somewhere it is written
That when you are smitten,
There's nothing on earth can be worse.
--- Don Tidwell
Dictating at will what you say.
You write them all down,
And then say with a frown,
Why the hell am I acting this way.

With cock and balls,
Titties and quims on the shell.

The West as they knew it --
With grit to get through it --
And decided to rise to the test.

And not merely wander like mules,
So here Jeane and Gwen
Both wielded a pen,

The blessed thing came out a tercet!

Some five line crescendo
Of lewd innuendo?
Well you're wrong. This is anything but!

Verse that is clever and funny.
But alas and alack,
I'm just a poor hack,
And I can't even make this last line rhyme.

And my rhyming is fine;
I structure each line;
But oh, how I wish I could spel!

Unable to find
A match in the mind,

"I get going," he said,
"Have ideas in my head.
Then find I just simply can't." (end 'em)
--- J A Lindon P9505
Found it rather a job to impart 'em.
When asked at the time,
Why is this? Don't they rhyme?
Said the poet of Chartam, can't start 'em.
--- A Lindon P9505
Who was naughty, though really quite shy.
Not a man the tease met
Saw her ****. Don't be upset,
But they've censored this. Don't ask me why.

Gross, titillating, and crude.
But this one is clean,
Unless you are seen
Reading it aloud in the nude.

And Beethoven deaf,
Now worst of all left
Me minus a clever last line.

But were too dumb to cuss,
So this limerick's encountered a hitch.

On transcripts we're no longer stuck.
The solution is here.
It is perfectly clear,
That the expletive missing is [expletive deleted].

Will surely displease us a bunch.
It may be just fine
But without a punch-line,
The whole thing just falls apart.
--- Neal Wilgus P8505
The second one came out just fine.
The third was a chore.
Barely made it through four.
But the fifth, I can't get to work.

It takes too long to make a rhyme.
So, if it' s OK by you,
Here's what I think I ought to do:
Finish this limerick right now.

They fail a punchline to impart.

I won't say it twice:
Just finish whatever you ...

Or finished abruptly.

Could never complete
Any poem with feet,
Saying: "Idiots! Can't you see what I'm writing

No words foul or offensive did speak he.
Only words fit and fine
Until the last line.
And the mood I'll say seemed...fucking freaky!

Was constrained to cry "Whoops,
This get viler, gets viler, get viler..."

Got progressively worse,
And someone has washed it with soap well.)

But the reason I hired her,
Was to help with my gramer and speling!

Though some I have seen in my time
Do neither one well,
And as you can tell,
This one will have one hell of a last line.
--- Fred Cohen P8311
We limerickers should be aware
That we must strive
To keep line five.

A sort of upside-down song.
But this is the worst,
The last line comes first,

He'd put 'this' after 'that',
And 'dog' after 'cat',
And he hated this sort of last line.

Built a limerick-writing computer.
The meter was fine
And the rhymes quite divine,
But for some reason the damn thing always

He said, "Just for fun
And I think I know why. It's..."

Keep syllable counts
To metered amounts.
At least one should, if at all possible, be somewhat close.

You soon learn the score:
Leave them wanting some more .

While hunting around for the meter,
Touched a leak with his light.
He arose out of sight,
And, as anyone can see by reading this,

Whose sense of verse was much finer.
He thought it divine,
To end the last line,
Quite suddenly.

Is a verse-form that's hard to extinguish.
Once Congress in session
Decreed its suppression,
But people got around it by writing the last

Confronted a difficult riddle:
Da dum de de dum,
Da dum de de dum,
He could end and begin, but not middle!

Declared limerick writing a crime.
But late in the night,
All the scribes would write
Poems without rhyme or meter.

You'll have to use bucket,
And there's no telling where you will end.

But then blow the punch line
When the tuna fish covered the coffin.

Of tilting the quilty.
You're lucky you didn't go blind.

And bugger Satan, (the Devil,)
I really don't think that we'll ignite. (burn)
