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.

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 blindThere'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.
