I may be a cranky curmudgeon
But on hearing a word such as "gudgeon"
Am I labeled "a dupe?", or
A fish (not a grouper)--
En fin, I end up in high dudgeon.
(Addicted to limericks)

Oh dear! i won't have time in the next few days.. but back in february, i went limrick crazy..
if you go to page 12 (at the bottom of the Word Play and fun page, on March 4th, you find a thread of mine..
in a maniacal fit, i posted about 100 limricks in about 3 weeks and others post another 150! Keep posting we can alway have a re-run of limricks, since they are original word plays.. but go back and reads some of the old ones too! I'll see if i shake some loose from my head..

When I was small, my mother who came from a seaport, used to call any extra stubborn
greasy grime "gudgeon grease". It took me many years to find out what it meant.

gudgeon is one of those interesting homonyms we discussed before, where widely disparate roots (a fish, a pivot) merged into the same spelling.
and gudgeon grease is actually, somehow, ambiguous!
(got fish-grease on your pivot?)

no rudeness intended... say, you're not suffering from autotopagnosia, are you?

A gentle woman has made a request
and to answer we shall do our best
but i think she want a ditty
Short and quite witty
it is limricks, not fish for her quest.
Upon herring her request , we might try
To let our creativeness fly
To whiting her heart
and spike up a start.
and not crab about fish, by and by.

here are a few limericks on the subject of virgins that i've come across.
an innocent maid from penzance
decided to take just one chance
so she let herself go
in the lap of her beau
and now all her sisters are aunts
or
an innocent maiden from Maine
declared she'd a man on the brain
but you knew from the view
of the way her waist grew
that it was not on her brain she had lain
or
there was a young maiden called Flynn
who thought fornication a sin
but when she was tight
she thought it alright
so everyone filled her with gin
all the rest are far too rude to post here

dodyskin, i am just a bit sensitive now about even semi rude limricks that do nothing but disparage woman, for doing the same thing a man considers a neat feat.
statawomans started with an original and with hard to ryhme words.. lets see what you can do.
Many a man has sown a wild oats
and about them, he's happy to boast
such sexist remarks
now days cause sparks
keep them up, and your name is toast
double standards for respect are old hat
Modern women and men know that,
materity now is choice
Woman have raised their voice
and an era of new respect, begat.
So abandon your old tired ryhmes
that speak of less democratic times
Make limricks a new
Pen your own, one or two.
and create some new paradigms.
