Whose nose was abnormally sniffy;
She sniffed out a skunk
That was under her bunk,
And he gave her the works in a jiffy.
--- Limber Limericks

There once was a sailor named Pink,
Whose mates rushed him off to the clink.
Said he, "I've a skunk
As a pet in my bunk.
That's no reason for raising a stink."
--- Anon

Said the skunk, "I must try not to think.
If I do it will drive me to drink;
Human beings are odd,
Look at me, say "My God!"
And won't love me until I'm ex-stinked."
--- Ann Gasser P9406

Who kept a live skunk as a friend.

But nearer, 'twas wont to offend.

A mean-mannered kid found it fittin'
To pick up a cat and start hittin'.
But the surly young blade
Had got thoroughly sprayed;
He had picked up a skunk, not a kitten.

The stink of a skunk's really rank;
Ain't no stink just like that skunk stank.
Naming it, my friend,
Will drive you 'round the bend,
Where that dismal skunk stinks dark and dank.
--- Tony Burrell

I've thought and I've thinked and I've thunk,
While lying awake in my bunk.
There's truly no word,
Sublime or absurd,
Describing the stink of a skunk.

There once was a dude from the city,
Who strayed to Vermont -- what a pity!
He took off mighty fast,
Like a rocket in blast,
With fuel from a black and white "kitty".

There once was a man from the city
Who picked up what he thought a kitty.
Though the black and white stripes
Weren't really his type,
The smell made him rethink his pity.

A punk who was drunk stole a skunk
From the junk in the trunk of a monk.
He was soon in bad odor
So rightly bestowed her
On Monk-in-a-funk, whom it stunk.

What few Biblical scholars may know--
"...and then to the skunks, Noah, "No!
With forty nights/days
And all of those sprays!
But we'll tie on a rope for a tow."

The skunk is a beast with a smell
That he likes to eject and expel;
From the state of the air,
I am bound to declare
That he doesn't smell good or too well.
--- Lims Unlimited

A shepherd who hailed from Ghent
Kept quite a few skunks in his tent.
When asked, "Do they smell?"
He answered, "Too well,
They took one whiff of me and they went."

Two polecats who once went astray,
Decided a church to survey.
The jist of the service
Left them feeling nervous;
One said to the other, "Let's spray."

We all know that weasels are vermin;
Except in the winter, they're ermine.
But still, weasels stink
And so do the mink.
This is my do-not-wear-fur sermon.
--- Marlene Lewis

There was a young man from the city,
Who saw what he thought was a kitty.
To make sure of that,
He gave it a pat.
They buried his clothes. What a pity!

Barney, that creature with no dick,
Is so offensive he makes my dog sick.
With weird vacant eyes,
And felt-covered thighs,
He's hardly what I'd call Jurassic.

A young dinosaur named Barney,
Whose treatment of kids was quite smarmy;
He'd probe every hole,
Then swallow them whole,
Till his shit looked like children con carne.

To meet someone who had,
For starters, at least a Bigfoot.

There was an old man from Cape Verde
Who caught a remarkable bird;
It flew on its back
Straight into his sack
And stayed there till April the third.
--- William K Alsop P8910

Who captured a fabulous bird;
The nest that it built
Was lined with a quilt,
And the eggs that it sat on were shirred.
--- William K Alsop P8910

There was an old man from Cape Verde
Who discovered a fossilized bird;
A tremendous Great Awk
With a petrified squawk
So loud it could faintly be heard.

Who had room in her nest
For an overnight guest,
Who didn't come back if he erred.

There was an old man from Cape Verde
Who saw an unusual bird;
When it followed a hearse
It flew in reverse
And uttered a very bad word.

In the mythical world of horse racing,
The famed Centaur was most self-effacing.
If no win, place or show,
He did not want to go
And spend all his energy chasing.
--- J Maynard Kaplan

Mythic Racing Forms wisely confide:
Favored Centaur looks good for the ride;
If he stays the course
And behaves like a horse,
Then he won't miss the jockey astride.
--- J Maynard Kaplan

The Centaur's in a sorry plight,
For what is there to do at night;
His torso will scare
The nice cosy mare;
And his rear fills maidens with fright.
--- Lims Unlimited

A sly serpentine monster near Nice
Was the deadly and swift cockatrice;
It could kill with a glance
And crow "Vive La France",
All before you could call the police.

This morning you're feeling real loose,
But sleep has not loosened it's noose.
No coffee intake
To get you awake;
That's how Easter Bunny got goosed.
--- Anon

Easter Bunny got into the shed
With my flop-eared Angora, pure-bred.
They'll be no eggs this Easter,
I shot off his keister;
Not kielbasa, there's rabbit instead.

And we'll eat her on Friday, with chips!"

I own a grown flickedy-ding.
Normally a compludful thing.
But one day in the rain
It started to quane
And let out a B minor ring.
--- June Sullivan P8403

This is file mak

I examined its flickus to see
Just what its trouble could be.
But I touched a sore spot
And quick as a shot
It put a green malcus on me.
--- June Sullivan P8403

I gave it a shot of blue ink
Mixed with gin, which I brewed in the sink.
With a hum and a whir
It flexed its gurbur.
Now it goes, but it first wants a drink.
--- June Sullivan P8403

I was thankful it wasn't a flock;
Seeing one was enough of a shock.
In the mountains that day
I found I'd lost my way
Right between a hard place and a ROC.

There's a nip in the air, love, tonight.
Fiddler crabs have evolved powered flight.
Hear their violins screech
As they soar down the beach...
And watch out, 'cause the fly at butt height.

If there's shit on your hat, declare it.
As for me, I don't think I could bear it.
It was dropped by a Foo
(A big bird at the zoo),
And if the foo shits, you must wear it.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

A sad situation, it's true --
A run-in involving a Foo --
It's really a shame
That it's got such good aim.
Without, thanks a lot, I could do.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

My very best Sunday-church hat
Was the item upon which it shat.
Said I, with a sigh,
"That creature must die,"
So I'm off to the zoo with a bat.

In Alaska there once lived a gnome
And his chilly headquarters was Nome.
The cold made him shiver,
And his liver quiver.
He asked: "May I transfer to Rome?"

A short little man, like a gnome,
Spouts riddles on how to get home.
Is he for real?
Just what is the deal?
But darn it, Just look! Now he's gone!.

The Griffins, so strong and so bold,
Constructed their nests all of gold;
They all have four legs,
But they MUST lay eggs,
Which leaves them outdoors rather cold.

In Archaeology they think
The reason 'grrdlus' are extinct.
That in the dark,
They missed the Ark
And must have been the Missing Link

Pink budgies are often contrary,
While vultures with teeth can be scary.
But of all absurd birds
(Please take heed of my words)
Beware the rare hairy canary!

So please don't get mad or reprovy,
Those guys that were horny and hoovy,
Had one thing in mind,
Like rest of mankind,
They saw it swell to get groovy.

Is the one they call "The Jolly Green".
He is on cans of beets,
Veggies, peas, but not meats.
This giant is not very mean.

Who are rarely if ever been seen.
Each little leprechaun
Is conceived and born
In the base of a jug of poteen.

So quick is the monster (Loch Ness),
The instant your camera you press,
The monster will dive.
So if it's alive,
The proof is now one photo less.

A clam-digger, searchin' and wadin',
Enraptured a nymph, -- then the jade in
Her amorous glee
Pulled him under the sea,
So he died of the mal-de-mer-maiden.

No more on the earth do they roam;
They're not in the darkest catacomb.
The male has his play
And got carried away,
And turned all the females to loam.

An ungly old hag named Medusa
Couldn't get any man to seduce her.
But even if not,
She would always get hot
When the snakes on her head used to goose her.

A man from the south of the Somme
Was charged with molesting a gnome.

Men trap naugas and strip off their side,
Which they process to make the hyde.
There are many people who
Can't find naugas at the zoo,
Although they are known far and wide.

From the ooze at the bottom, awaking;
Tossing sleep away, shivering, shaking;
Climbing up toward the light
Where wait those who seek fright;
Nessie's workday begins at dawn's breaking.

A swimmer who swims in Loch Ness
Admits that she wants to confess.
"The monster's a hoax,
Just listen here, folks,
It's me with my hair in a mess!"

Should you catch the bad beast of Loch Ness,
You'll fail, I'm afraid, to impress
Drumnadrochit's young men,
Who detest your sort when
They get called out to clean up the mess.

I saw a sight that made me weak;
It was Nessie...well, I guess
She'd swum in from Loch Ness --
She's swimming by me as we speak!

A laddie of Scottish extraction
Had never felt sexual attraction,
Or made himself messy.
But when he met Nessie,
His kilt lifted more than a fraction.

I went to a county craft fair;
In the stalls I inspected the wares.
On one I did spy
Some wool octopi,
Which gazed with malevolent stares.
--- Tiddy Ogg

The stall holder smiled up at me;
"A tradional craft, sir," said she.
"In days long gone by,
Such green octopi,
Roamed over the meadow and lea."
--- Tiddy Ogg

"So the folk hereabouts knitted these,
And used them for lures, if you please,
For those great herds of squid.
Whereupon the men hid,
And launched their attack from the trees.
--- Tiddy Ogg

"When fried they made meals of distinction,
But were hunted, alas, to extinction.
Her words were sincere
And her voice was so clear,
I accepted her tale with conviction.

I completed my purchase; she rose,
Said, "They mostly would hunt with no clothes,
For that octopus ink
Really made such a stink,
And such cleaning problems did pose.
--- Tiddy Ogg

So that's how the copper found me,
A-sitting up high in a tree,
Stark naked, near Poole,
With a green ball of wool,
And binoculars, so I could see.
