People should not be so thin-skinned, but then neither is it right
for some people to be rude to others.

There once was a fellow named Leon:
His enemies thought him a peon.
But in a fight rough and frictional
His actions proved far from fictional;
And they found his blood to be colder than Freon.

Uh-oh. A frank and vulgar conversation between two friends. Don't look if that doesn't sound like your sort of limerick.

Click to reveal..
Lee's neighbor, his life-long friend, Sydney,
Asked Lee if he might have Lee's kidney.
"I hope you don't mind, Lee,"
Sid asked him most kindly.
Lee answered, "F**k you! Are you kiddin' me?"

A guilty young man he once found,
A rather disagreeable mound,
'Oh no a gumma!'
He cried to his mamma,
And fainted right there on the ground.

His dentist had sadly forgotten
To pack Al's tooth sockets with cotton.
Mouth, once hale, grew verminous
In the sockets coterminous,
And his jawbone began to go rotten.

A bone of contention
Requiring ample comprehension
To relieve the tension,
Necessity is the mother of all invention.

Her ability to inspire a multitude
Is often misconstrued, seeming to intrude
And even pooh-poohed.
Relax and try not to come unglued.

When the young lady stood at the podium,
She observed her reflection with odium.
"My God! I've grown plump!
I can't see past my rump!
I will just have to lay off the sodium."

No vulgarity, but pretty darned off color, nonetheless.

"Let's stop Lee, I have to go tee-tee,"
Bob said as he looked at his grigri.
"Golly gee whiz, Lee
You're as rough as a grizzly.
With a knot in it, how can I pee-pee?"

Santa returned at daybreak
Having one hell of a headache
The victim of a deadfall trap,
Sarcasm and vitriol on tap.
Oh, for Christ's sake, I need a nap!


Spotty rhythm and rhyme...the limerick is no gift of mine. Guess I'll have to imbibe with a little wine.

(With apologies to crash:)

With its spotty rythmn and rhyme,
The limerick's no friend of mine:
"There once was a man...?"
Shoot, I don't give a damn.
I'll just sit here and drink me some wine.

I think of the form as psycho-haiku: The sky's the limit, but so is the meter and rhyme.

hmmm CARD and CARL...

I think I shall abandon my (pretty rubbish) limericks and leave those to Beck...much better at it than me!

A young Scottish carl was quite interestingly facially scarred - must have been that hit on the head with a large metal card

ahaha!

A snobbish old platypus kaiser
had a wife, but he seemed to despise 'er:
She was too short at court;
but I'm pleased to report
he invented a re-platicizer.

(Sorry, but I can't find a definition for that word. Apparently I'm not alone.)

There was a teacher with a chrome dome
Stopped by a fence on his way home,
Looking to smell the roses
He found only chrysanthemums,
said "they'll do in a pinch, as would my pate do a comb."

Pathetic I know. I'm none to good with limericks.
But I had a favorite teacher once whom everyone called
Chrome Dome, and I had to give it a try.

Someone can do better: keep the same words

No, it inspired me to have a go.....


The editor of the local newspaper called Pearl,
was asked to print a epitaph and gave it a whirl
the title was 'The Pedagogue'
and was such a long monologue
it ended up making people want to hurl.


(and ▼ was the alternative)

Said my aunt who was called Pearl,
'In my day, schoolgirls never went for a whirl'.
'er father was once a pedagogue
known for his evangelistic sermons in the synagogue.
That was enough to make any young gentleman, squi'rrel.

QUEEN - RAFFLED


You've heard about Ellery Queen.
He'd show up at any crime sceen.
The clues could be raffled
Policemen were baffled
But Ellery never has been.

There was a young racketeer pol
who got rave reviews from his moll:
"His bod is so hot,
and he gives me good pot,
and he talks like a young Gore Vidal."

And then when the new day came dawning,
Trevor opened his bedroom's awning;
Wiping sleep from his eye,
He nodded his head and said "Aye",
Yet jumped back into bed with great longing.

Dave Router was very good on the lathe
and as he wanted privacy in the bathroom when he needed to bathe
to the workshop he dispatched
to grind himself a latch
so he could attend to his hygiene unscathed.

Peter knew that in college his future lay,
But for that he had no way to pay
So he applied for a loan
by computer and by phone
Of person-to-person skills,all said, "No way".

A fortune Luke strove to amass,
but his prices! He charged lots of brass;
yet he gave a discount
of twice that amount,
and the enterprise ran out of gas.

Gas prices rising the way they are, I may have to invest
in some reins and the critter to go with them.
