    Why not join all the rest in the bucket?

    Alex Pope penned a good ditty or two
    Like “I am his Highness’ dog at Kew;”
    Which he etched on a tag
    Beneath which the Great Wag
    Wrote this: “Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?”

    Why haven't I found this thread before? I know a million of these. Em, I think my Irish Grandpappy had the same lymerick book that your Irish Grandpappy had.

    OK, OK, OK, so most of the lymericks that I know will get me tossed out of this site; but here's one of my favorites, and I think it might make it past the vulgarity police:

    there once was a caveman named Ug
    who stuck his plug in a jug
    He said with a shrug
    as he gave it a tug
    now ain't that a helluva fug
    Uhhhh...

    LMAO Are you sure about that?
    Now is that a recitation, or is it your own masterpiece?

    Not original, got it out of Granpappy’s book.

    Here’s an original:

    There was a web surfer named Emily
    Who could turn out a pretty good simile
    She went off to college
    To get some more knowledge
    And commit some more stuff to her memory

    Ouch! What a groaner.

    One more:

    There once was a lass named Em’
    Who web surfed with startling Zen
    She’s smarter than Sanch’
    Who can’t even dance
    Yet this fall they’ll both probably vote Dem’

    OK, I’m gonna quit now.
    Uhhhh...

    LOL I like it! It's almost like they stick to the original idea...how do you do that?

    Hah, uhhh, donno. It just came to me; like a flash, like a vision, burnt across my brain.

    Pretty much, I was using up all of my brain bytes just thinking of words that rhymed.
    Uhhhh...

    Hey I found a great one for all of you grammarphobes out there or is it their or is it they're...

    They seem to have taken on airs
    They're ever so rude with their stares
    They get there quite late
    There's a hand in your plate
    And they're eating what's not even theirs
    Uhhhh...

    I don't know who wrote this..but it wern't me!

    The other day upon the stair,
    I met a man that wasn't there,
    He wasn't there again today,
    I wish that man would go away

    hey all, i'm new here, i love ur lymericks !

    ok, ok here it goes...ahum....be prepared

    There once was a hermit named Dave
    Who kept a dead whore in his cave.
    She smelled like sh1t,
    And was missing a tit.
    But think of the money he saved.

    A sasquatch with fleas in his fur
    Scratched so fast that his hands were a blur;
    He had hair when he started,
    But soon it departed,
    Then 'twas obvious "he" was a "her"!
