Unlike all the poof and the queers, My favorite limerick bits I'm sorry for the prose I have wrote; For me, it's the play of the words Our poetry's simply sublime While the limerick's known for its content, The limerick life is impure The moral of the story is this: There was a young lady of Where? A good limerick reminds me of you, I laugh and I laugh till I cry, The next time you find yourself start You may think my limerick unsightly; Rowdy Jack's new obsessions sure are (fish) (Comment to Toast Point Sage on a previous rhyme)
A poem of five lines and a rhyme The cloth of the limerick's coat Limerick writing's no cinch. Said the thoughtful old Dean, looking haughty: The limerick's a lot like a shoe -- Your limericks now are sent in; The limerick that has the appeal Pat Kain was all up in a snit, We may start then with Solomaon's Song; If you pull me, I'll chase you to bed. This newsgroup's in need of some verses; Cybergeezer, through motives quite chaste, (cybergeezer runs limerick page -'was arrested' is mandated)
Look guy, just wipe off that grin; (Dave and Nantucket)
Though some limericks today are risque Our existence would be that much grimmer ex- You writers should not turn out birds At Harvard, a randy old dean You may well curse it and moan, Limericks, tasteful and clean, My Dear Wife, when asked to hear Then scorn not the limerick either, The limerick's more suited to fun Limericks are not intellectual; Composing a limerick line I have written some limericks quite fateful, It may speak of fucking and shit, Yes, crude is the limericks's intent, A limerick's for breaking the rules, Of all the limericks ever writ, The limerick's a verse form spectacular, The limericks that men like the best A limerick contest is fine; If you don't find them funny, I'm sad. Of all the verse forms used by men, Sighed a saddened young lady named Conner, A limerick smacks some of smut, There are limericks wholesome and glad; Though I've searched from Sumatra to Kush A mystery thus-far unsolved: There's a subtle new craze in dispersal An erudite monsieur from Brest, With syllables two or else three, The risque verse has its attraction; (I just collect them, I make no moral judgments - McW)
The limerick, like drugs, is addictive, There once was a limerick named Zed There once was a lassie named Cass, I only save limericks sublime; I've limericks writ by the score; The limericks that I like the best In writing a limerick that clicks, If the object of rhyming is pleasure, In limericks, he would disperse
Who walk around looking at rears,
Appearing in tales
And causing great gales
Of laughter, when they reach our ears.
--- Archie
Are when we're discussing big tits.
For forty four D's
And thirty eight C's
Attract both my lips and my mitts.
--- Archie
I feel like a clumsy old scrote.
I know you write poems
For great leaned tomes
But my talent's less than a mote.
--- Archie
That separates whey from the curds,
Though I seldom would quarrel
With topics amoral,
Such as incest, or buggering herds.
--- Anon
And inspiring in meter and rhyme;
It expresses but nought
Of intelligent thought,
But uses up acres of time.
--- Peter Wilkins
It's frequently fancy or nonsense;
Should the reader be antsy,
There's nonsense and fancy,
But the rules may not seem to be constant.
--- J Maynard Kaplan
And has never been subject to cure.
Its topics are wild,
Anatomically styled --
A versified form of manure.
--- Archie
The tales of a mister or miss,
When lascivious or crude,
Are nothing but rude;
But witty is never remiss!
--- Jim Weaver Collection a
Whose limerick likings most share;
Old faithfuls like these
That are certain to please,
For they always seem to have been there.

My Darling: small waist beneath two
Starting points to begin a yen
For a trip through rhymes feminine
To find at the bottom a screw.
--- Don Moore P9106
Gasping for breath ere I die.
It's always the naughty,
Outageously bawdy
Limerick that does it for I.
--- Mike Perry
To put down this venerable art,
Instead set your mind
To creating a rhyme
About a bishop who's eating a tart!
--- Tim
Maybe you think it quite rightly.
Though I sweated and fretted,
I never regretted.
If you don't like my limerick, then BITE ME!"
--- Jim Weaver Collection A
Rather strange, maybe even bizarre (fish)
But a limerick so good,
Don't you think that it should,
Net that maritime minstrel a star (fish)?
--- Stargazer
Scheme AABBA and a climb
Down to depths of depravity
In each body cavity,
Is my favorite, limerick sublime.

Is cut from the groin of a goat.
So throttle your noses,
And don't expect roses,
You won't hear a word you can quote.
--- Joseph Kesselring P8312
Sometimes one gets in a pinch.
It's rather a strain
To wrack one's own brain
In order the fifth line to clinch.
--- Macsam
"The real funny things are all naughty.
Clean humor is boring --
No sex and no whoring --
Folks only laugh when it's bawdy.

It follows whatever I do.
Quite often I put
In my mouth my left foot.
My limericks come out that way too.
--- Neal Wilgus P8505
Today we'll find out who's to win.
The best ones we'll share
With you, live on air;
And the rest go straight in the bin.

Is penned by the quill that's facile
In the sordid, grotesque,
And in bawdy burlesque,
And in contorted reports imbecile.
--- Albin Chaplin P8502
'Bout the evil of Limericks, the twit.
He's up in high dudgeon,
The sorry curmudgeon,
But I really could not give a shit.
--- Sandy L
It is scripture, so quoting's not wrong.
Sol's a very good bard,
Though he made some things hard.
(The hardest was Solomon's dong.)
--- Sandy L
I rejoice in you, toes to your head.
I remember you love
More than wine, my sweet dove.
And upright I will love thee, I said.

Some limericks with subtle reverses.
So make up your mind
To craft well designed
Innuendoes with cute terse inverses.
--- J Gould
Was arrested for showing bad taste,
Accepting at times
Some exceeding bad rhymes,
While letting some good go to waste!
--- Regina Cuta
My patience with this has worn thin.
Of all limericks writ,
Seems just two make a hit,
In minds that have gone a bit dim.
--- Annie Jay
And are viewed by a few with dismay,
It's as sure as you're born
That this stuff seen as "porn"
Is undoubtedly destined to stay.
--- R J Winkler P8505
Cept for the solace of limericks.
A fact that's unknown
To two groups alone:
The drearier dons and the dimmer hicks.
--- Robert Conquest
Of a feather to Legman's coarse herds,
Who go for vile gore
Or a downtrodden whore,
With ailings too loathsome for words.
--- Bill Backe-Hansen P8512
Said, "The funniest jokes are obscene.
To bowdlerize wit
Takes the shit out of it.
Who wants a limerick that's clean?"
--- Grand Prix Lim 500 G2310
But it has long been well known.
With its meter and rhyme
And subject sublime,
That the limerick's the epitome of poem!
--- Tim
Are not a big part of my scene.
But if they have screwing,
Or other such doing,
I find them erotic and keen.
--- Anon
This is file jum
The limericks included here,
Would kneel and pray
In hopes that they
Would exit out her other ear.
--- Irving Superior P8505
Though as Tennyson said, who know why the
Fuck such a rhyme
Makes the Grim Reaper, Time,
Such a markedly blither old Scyther.
--- Anon
And clever word play, and the pun.
The cadence is wrong
For a teary love song,
Or to brag of a battle just won.
--- John Miller
For the most part they're quite ineffectual.
But with a flick of the nib,
And a wit, oh so glib,
They'll imply something fightfully sexual!
--- Emmanuel Lamprecht
Gives pleasure that few can define.
And verses that rate
As "good!" or as "great!"
Are treasures -- I wish they were mine.

Malicious and vicious and hateful;
But I've torn up the jokes
That would sicken most folks,
And humanity ought to be grateful.

Of asshole, of cunt, cock, or tit.
But no matter how clean
Or how greatly obscene,
A good limerick has to have wit.

And lewd at its best we consent.
But us ladies of breeding,
When doing the reading,
Heard most of them in the convent.

For showing up churls, prigs, and fools;
'Tis for flashing one's voc-
Abulary, as spoke,
And exposing and honing one's tools.

The bawdy ones -- half raw, half wit --
Are worst when read aloud.
So poets, if you're proud,
On hearing one, you should 'shhh' it.

That uses a slangy vernacular
To tell dirty jokes
And make vicious pokes --
Though some of them suck just like Drackular.

Are morally banned and suppressed.
But the orally sprout
For there's rich soil about
And they leave all the ladies distressed.

Not the contest to run,
But my place in the sun,
With a zinger to end the last line.

These pert limericks
Play rediculous tricks.
When you laugh at them, Honey, I'm glad!

The limerick is -- from one to ten --
Perhaps about a three.
Five lines then mentally
Exhausted we lay down our pen.

"In a limerick, where is there honor?
If a miss ever strayed
Into one as a maid,
In the last line the lechers were on her!"

I don't care for clean;
Give me slime and green cream,
That smells like an overused slut.

But as long as they're droll, some,
I relish the whole sum,
As I like girls both clad and unclad.

Nothing else worked as well
As the berries that fell
Off of the limerick bush?

Leaves persnickety listeners appalled.

Is advised; best prepare
All your limericks with care.
This next fashion will go loonyversal!

For with rhyming renditions,
And anal emissions,
One's own always beats all the rest.

(Whatever it happens to be),
To lim-er-ick freaks
A lime-rick bespeaks
Delectable moments of glee.

The ribald may give satisfaction;
But I never have fancied
The nastily rancid
Or verses of sick putrefaction.

And it often is cruel and vindictive.
Backed by laws that are bold,
It must needs be controlled
By a doctor's prescription restrictive.

Whose meter went right to his head.
In fact, his great meter
He confused with his peter,
Which is why he was no good in bed.

She thought sex a gimmick;
She'd make up a lim'rick,
But she screwed up the rhyme scheme, alas!

Is six came from Malo,
And none of the suckers were mine.

But not one'd know it,
Since you don't write real poems any more."

On things biological
And matters illogical,
Which are all in a nutshell compressed.

The bawd and the subtle should mix;
With subtlety first,
In writing a verse,
Use language that our fancy pricks.
--- Irving Superior P8505
To the reader our searching for treasure,
And a limerick suffices
To keep seeker from vices;
Is it classified penance or leisure?

Allusions that made his foes curse.
But subpoenas soon came
With his claim to defame,
And the damages sought were perverse.
