Okay....this one is PG....
In a small Kansas town known as Lebo
Churning ice cream within a gazebo
He said with elation
"It's quite near gelation"
And posted an invite on Bebo.

When Stanley delivered his load,
Nothing was safe on the road.
He ran down some yokel,
Two deer and a local,
A tortoise, three cats, and a toad.

That's a good one Beck!  Ask about accent, meter or stich, For it's true - we know which is which. Please don't stigmatizeLimericks as unwise. We just fill our "poems" full of kitsch. STREAM - STRETCH

Pity Gomez, the unlucky wretch
Far at sea in his undersized ketch.
He woke from a dream
And fell into the stream.
One should wake up, look well, and then stretch.

A wannabee linguist named Bush
Studied accents in far Hindu Kush,
But repetitive truancy
Affected his fluency,
Causing acres of fakirs to flush.

The Hermit on the heath by the side of the road
asked me please would I carry his load.
I said: "No, but I will
ask the Fool on the hill;
it's too heavy". Then he croaked like a toad.

Out of words poets may craft a pun:
"Once in Baghdad, while buying a bun,
Heard a BANG! from a van.
Grabbed a rack, and I ran."
Why, I did it here! Son-of-a-gun.

A fellow with spirits to lift
Sought a medium, born with the gift.
Her fee was the most,
Yet she brought him no ghost:
She just "maybe'd" and "sorry'd" and "if'd."
I think that'll be my last for now - it's been fun!

Here's one for Luke, using all the words in his last post here. WARNING - Off color, strong sexual content (but not too bad.) The girls all thought Heinrich a rake.
He'd screw them well - all they could take.
Just when he got off, he
Would step out for coffee,
Hearing, "Don't quit now! Just take a break!"

Terrific!
You just cannot get them out of your system once you start, can
you? I find myself thinking in the 'beat' or 'rhythm' or whatever
it is called.
Too bad about your last one, however. Charlie is a SHE.
Sorry about that. 1/2 King Charles Spaniel/1/2 chihuahua.
That's where I got the name.
But I'm sure you can revise it. Have at it! I'm waiting
breath abated......

A spaniel (from Charles, once a king)
And a chihuahua (the poor little thing)
Were mated by force,
And the offspring, of course,
Was a mutt. And she's Luke's! Ba-da-bing!

My last limerick ever
I will use to endeavour
to refute the blame
on a pretty dog's name
as a lack of good taste and not clever.

The limerick: let's not eschew it!
This thread is a good place to do it.
Perhaps we'll all soften
If we don't post so often,
But if nobody wants to, then screw it.

The limerick's are fun, I must say -
But I don't log online every day.
Yet now and again
(Can I get an amen?)
They bring a smile to a long, crazy day.

Gee, ModScop is back in the saddle!
Though up the creek, she had a paddle.
If she leaves us again
For, say, five days or ten,
Then we'll just give her e-cage a rattle!

I wrote my check to the I.R.S.
A painful moment, I must confess.
But things could be worse,
I could be in a hearse.
I just wish that it caused less distress.

The government's eyeing my wealth.
They're trying to take it by stealth:
My light bulbs, my car,
My Cuban cigar,
And now they've come after my health!

I must have been out of my head
As I danced to the Grateful Dead:
The mushroom was risky
But I felt so frisky…
And woke up face down in a roadbed.

I like it! My wife would love it, Dead-Head that she is (was?)
They went to the Polk County fair
And felt themselves quite debonair.
They ate a great deal
Of a cheap, greasy meal,
Then, on the rides, puked in midair.

When dressing your crops with fertilizer,
Bat guano's a great appetizer,
But easier to find,
It comes from behind,
And the your Guernsey cow is none the wiser!

When from the garden they had to leave."
It made us all baffle,
We could only haffle!
Twosleepy's smile I hope I've achieved!

Completing his work in pathology,
Benjamin made no apology:
He developed a pattern
For slaying each slattern
And compiled a killer anthology.

Bob eyeballed his prof in psychology
Who displayed a distinctive pathology.
Her behavioral pattern
Was that of a slattern,

There once was a fellow named Ezra
Whose face was a terrible mess-ra,
With just one thick eyebrow.
One can see the lad now
In a clinic just outside Bethesda
(Whew, is that bad.)

Let's go with this, instead:
Though born with just one thick eyebrow,
And lips that might work on a cow,
This ugly guy, Ezra,
Saw docs at Bethesda,
And - boy! - is he popular now!

He likes a sandwich that's full of cold cuts.
It's easy to make - no ifs, ands or buts...
Says the mayo's adhesive
(or is that cohesive?)
But don't add onions or olives - That's NUTS!

People don't think most snakes are real cute.
When one looms from the scrub, it's a hoot.
Was it coral or viper?
(Either'd soil your diaper)
One should check for the loreal scute.

Carlita met Donald on Facebook.
In his prose amateurish
He offered to nourish
Her body and soul, as a good cook.

Showed a prudent lass, Katie C. Stacy,
His worn first edition
Of "Nuns in Perdition,"
But she found it not at all racy.

CDs and cellphones she strictly forbid.
"Nose to the grindstone!"
She said in a shrill tone.
She doesn't know there's a TV he hid.
