Don Marquis [hi, archie!] classified limericks as:
"$1 Limericks": Those that can be told in the company of ladies (in the 1920's).
"$2 Limericks": Those that can be told in the company of a parson.
"$10 Limericks": Real limericks.

Limericks new , Limericks old
be they wimpy, or be they bold
Steal a line from E. Lear,
He's an expert, i hear
For limericks, the best, i 've been told!

An invitaion I've just read
Invites me to fill up this thread!
with a risque post
or a gentle boast
or a quips that shows I'm well read!

Come awad'er's lend me your ears
Soon, You'll rolling in laughter, with tears,
or a wink or a grin
let the fun now begin,
will it get ribald soon? i have fears!

There was a pig farmer near Aukland
Who mixed fruit with his pork more than often,
"A kiwi a day
Keeps the doctor away!"
Was the capital claim he was hawkin'!

Thank you kindly, Lady of Troy
For your welcome unalloy(ed)
Oops, I've just cheated
And rhyme I've defeated
Truly hope that it doesn't annoy!

New york's water is quite pure
of this, i am reasonable sure
but some intoxicating potion
has given me a notion
so limerick after limerick you must endure

i like to date good looking men
one will ask me out now and then
but i generally find
it's the men who are blind
who ask me out, again and again.

you'd think exhastion would set in
and of limericks i'd be running thin
but each new one i post
encourages a host
of others i want to begin!

the men who are blind

There's a lining of silver, I'd say,
If your love life is as you portray.
Don't you commonly find
Dating men who are blind
You can easily lead them -- astray?

Don't focus on the negativity.
Instead, note their high susceptivity.
They have far fewer chances
To repel advances
For whatever may be your proclivity.

The fever continues unabated
I fear i will be generaly hated
a dozen plus, Twice
Limericks! Not nice
Is the end to which i am fated?

If Limericks are fated to stay
then there is only one thing i have to say
An agape like this
could be a word lovers bliss!
i am The Queen of fun and wordplay

Awader's get out your tomes
books of science, music and poems
dig out a word,
we've never seen or heard
and about words let us be bon homies!
