ok...I'm not good at this, but here's my contribution (you are very excellent, Peter, by the way). A striving young artist called Branshee set up her easel in a tepee when her nude models became a spectacle the flow became terminal which sent Bran looking for bran-dee! Disclaimer

A well dressed artist named Branshea
Was proud of her name in her late day
And quite shaken was she
That a certain Branshee
Was corrupting her name in a nude way. ;-)

Must add and admit I don't really know what "the flow became terminal" means, I just followed the flow of the limericks for fun. Disclaimer Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or on this forum, is purely coincidental

Okay, it's crude. Most limericks are. She keeps cop stuff locked in a drawer;
At night, she knows what it is for:
Her favorite gadget's
An officer's badge, it's
What gives her orgasms galore.

Yes, when I started with a limerick,
Beck gave me the AABB stuff, rhythm, rhyming, et. al.
But he says at the end:
"Ideally five lines AABBA, rhyming, suggestive in content, with
a clever hook in the last line".
Of course back when Reader's Digest had a different one each
week, they were never "suggestive", but then again that was
Reader's Digest.
This is great Peter.

A priest with purity un-mistakable
whom all thought completely unshakable,
opened his missal at mass
and fell right on his ass
for some porn there caught him unplacable.

June found it most hard to convince
Any girlfriends to date her ex, Vince.
They chose not to cope
With the fact he's a dope,
And June hasn't been friends with them since.

There was a girl with a garden filled with peppermint
Who sold it to improve her financial betterment.
With a peony, rose, and many other herbs
She had quite a showy home out in the 'burbs.
But it was the rabbits who had the most merriment.

Her tent had a charming blue ruffle
That made old-timers fidget and shuffle.
They would gnash, spit, and grumble,
Punch, kick, start up a rumble:
Major scuffle, that duffel kerfuffle.

There was a young lady named Dot
Who engaged in a lewd midnight trot.
Her menses went truant
(With a child pursuant.)
Now to men she replies, "'Drather not."

appeared. Happy Day,Beck!

Poor Maggie had a bleeding fistula which
left her feeling much like she lived in a ditch
but she promised to stay
firmly on meds every day
till her life returned to near perfect pitch.

She slipped off to bed a bit early
To escape the young man, big and burly.
As she lay at her ease,
She remembered his pleas
Which she though rather pompous and squirrely.

Bob was a compulsive graverobber
(No everyday merchant or jobber.)
Whenever he'd pass
Freshly-overturned grass
It was all he could do not to slobber.

She likes to wear absolute minimum
While she dances and drones out a tinny hum.
She dons a mink stole
which hides her pink shoul-
ders but shows off a lot of her skinny tum.

Right now I can't go on-line every day,
But here's a quick thought for you anyway:
From L.A. to Manhattan
There are rhymes for "Pig Latin,"
But it's hard to make rhymes using "idginpay."

The starship is made of some laminate,
But their force field won't let us examine it.
Since the aliens landed
Guess-work has expanded,
And science is generally damnin' it.

Tired mouse in need of clemency
Said, "You use the net with such frequency,
You could use a stick
Yet you prefer to click
It's really the height of indecency."
U-oh! My dictionary is not with me.
Can I just choose a random pair?

"We take all our rides quite at random.
When we hit the road,
Though the world should explode,
Our trips all work out as we planned 'em."

Very nice peter. Could be used as an anthem for all highway enthusiasts. Much better than this line, "bulandiyon ke musafir ko kaun samjhaaye ke aage raah mein dhalaan aati hai"
Losely translated : who is to tell the one who is bent on climbing heights that up ahead is a valley.

Thanks, Avy. Ha!: "bulandiyon…" (or the translation) might work as a billboard, but as a standard traffic sign a driver would never have enough time to read it. Well, the same might be said of a limerick. Not sure about which is more singable.

We play a limerick game on another forum I frequent, but we have to make up the next line only...............we get results like this................
Riding a horse gave Camilla much pleasure
she had spasm's of joy as it tickled her treasure
Which even Charles had yet to discover its location
He even tried appealing to the nation
and using his riding crop and spurs for good measure.
