    Shoot right away! I'm sure we'll all enjoy ur limericks
    OK, you asked for it!

    Here's one that I didn't write, but it's been a favorite of mine for a long time:

    A crusty old whore, named Louise
    Had ****-hair that hung to her knees;
    So the crabs in her twat
    Tied the hair in a knot,
    And constructed a flying trapeze!



    Here's one of my own devising:

    Just a pint of his golden elixir,
    And perhaps just a wee bit of mixer,
    He'll be ready for sex,
    With lingual effects,
    'Cause 'is lady just loves when 'e licks 'er!

    This one doesn't have the right meter to be called a limerick, but I like it;



    When Willam of Ockham invented his Razor
    (For debating his wife, and to daze and amaze 'er),
    He gave us a tool,
    And an arguing rule
    That slices redundancies just like a laser!

    Come on - share a limerick!

    We could be accused of being a bit of a mopey bunch here at Lit-net! The site is filled with very beautiful, well written, largely angst-ridden poetry. So I say, enough of that! How about some comedy?

    Limericks are easy, generally rude and a good bit of fun. Share a moment of sunshine here, add a limerick, make us laugh!

    I'll start with my very poor effort.

    There once was a woman from France
    who did an incredible dance
    her feet flew like flies
    confounding the eyes
    enchanting us into a trance!


    Your turn........

    A limerick Bii asks us to write,
    Turn aside words that take flight
    Do think instead
    a few rhymes ahead...
    And no need to be so polite!

    The soprano, she loved to sing high
    But some of the notes made us cry
    She'd take a deep breath
    And scare us to death
    An altos modus operandi?

    There was a young lass from England
    Who fancied a bit of a fling and,
    Being bright-eyed,
    She cast her net wide
    Calling Come and play ring-around-the-ringland!

    Why, yes sir, I'm quite in the mood
    And I hope I do not appear lewd
    But a romp in the hay
    Would sure be okay
    To deny me would be very rude

    He he he, I'm smiling already

    There once was an old man named Joe
    who's wife was incredibly slow
    so he slapped her backside
    so much that she cried,
    and left her cheeks brightly aglow!

    Exclamation

    A Cockney once said to 'is mate,
    "Gor Blimey, d'ya see that bloke's face?
    "Looked a bit loike a piggie's arse!"
    His bud said "Yer drunk again, auld horse,
    'T'aint a winder yer see, but a merryor, fust place!"

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Limericks are a lot of fun. I once submitted this Limirick sequence in one of the Picture Poetry Contests, in the original thread. Here it is again. I hope you like it. The original version was a little bawdier, but this is bawdy too.

    Ballooning Limericks

    I

    The day for ballooning was here
    And Jack brought Jill for a beer
    But lines got all tangled
    And balloons were all mangled
    And Jill thought Jack was a queer.

    II

    Jack talked Jill into the hoop
    He thought he finally got the scoop
    Up went the balloon
    Jack smelling like a saloon
    Jack thinking Jill was a dupe.

    III

    When high up in the air
    Jack made his intentions clear
    He swore and was crude
    And was exceptionally rude
    Decided it was time to be bare.

    IV

    When Jill blew her gasket
    She said that was no mascot
    And closing her fist
    And swinging her wrist
    Pushed Jack right out of the basket.

    V

    The police got a thrill
    When they questioned poor Jill
    Of the body they found
    With no trousers around
    How Jack was found on the hill.

    Virgil, I saw this one back in the Picture Poetry contest once, while checking the earlier pages... loved it back then, love it till now.

    By the way I thought there was already a thread for limericks? Well I guess it fell a bit low lately but I did see another thread for limericks once.

    Anyway, limericks are fun to write
    Its funny baudy and pretty light
    The idea's cool
    Long live dear Bii's noodle.
    Wonder if this thread can keep me up tonight! *yawn*

    well that last thing didnt quite qualify as a limerick now did it?!

    but well...
    Its hard to think of a thing with yawns uproaring
    The bed right now seems so warm and welcoming
    But once I get up
    Mom’ll beat me up
    Into a pulp thinking I just quit studying!
