Here's one of my favorite limericks, I don't know the author, though:
A flea and a fly in a flue
Were imprisoned, so what could they do?
Said the fly, "let us flee!"
"Let us fly!" said the flea.
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

I've only just realized how old this thread is - maybe I can stimulate a continuance of it?
An artist, named Dorian Gray,
Tried hard to keep old age at bay;
He created, with oils,
A picture that spoils,
Instead of his own sad decay!

There was a man who wanted to spit
he just didn't have patience to sit
so saliva he mustered
and the sidewalk grew lustered
as asphalt turned to yellow brick.
ahhh terrible, but fun
Methinks Virgil would like this thread. Where is he?
And I just learned that antiguyha is a guy, I always thought he was female for some reason. Weird how that sort of thing works around here.
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.

there once was a fairy named Niamh
who had one too many tricks up her sleeve.
But the elves they were faster
covered her feet in quick drying plaster
she could do nothing but drag them and heave.
i think thats the first one i've ever written!

I've never tried one either, I must be a total loser at this lol.
Okay here's my attempt:
Find someone, one who dares
to endure life's worst nightmares--
a barky mother
a jerky brother
and ultra-thick cerebral layers.
Yeah I AM a total loser at this!!

Well, Ideally, limericks should be somewhat baudy, or even naughty, but I'm unsure what the standards are here, so I'm hesitant to really let 'em fly.

if i'm not mistaken, the standards are pretty much same here.

there once was a babe that was happy!
His face was cute, round and bappy.
but his tummy did churn,
it was taking a turn,
thank god for his bright white nappy!

To all fellow geeks on this forum:
You members of grace and decorum,
I found this great place,
full of fun and good grace,
And I joined and I stuck to this forum!
*groan* Would you believe I worked all afternoon on that? The last line...sigh.
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
Maybe you could say "And i joined and i stuck due to boredom!"Originally Posted by andave_ya

there once was a young lad named mark,
who thought that he sung like a lark!
he opened his mouth,
and started to shout
and everyone ran from the park!
