Subject: do you like limericks ?

Posted by: diade68

There was a young lady named Sue
Who preferred a stiff drink to a screw. But one leads to the other,
And now she's a mother -
Let this be a lesson to you.

I must admit that limericks are fun,
and I am surely not the only one,
who thinks in rhyme,
most of the time,
and groans when the rhyme is done!

I agree with you Honeybee4, the thing whit limericks is there has to be some sexual reference, often licentious,but this makes them so funny and laughable.

A limerick can be naughty indeed,
sometimes that's just what we need!
But the fact is true,
there are others too,
that are just simply fun to read!

Love them!
How about this one?

A young lady by the name of Bianca
Slept while the ship was at anchor,
She woke in dismay
When she heard the Mate say,
Lift up the Top Sheet and Spanker (Spank her)

There was a woman from St. Kitts
Who had a bra that was giving her fits
She pulled and she pushed
and soon became bushed
"Why I believe I need smaller,um, breasts"

I find limericks to be very educational; I would never have learnt of a place called Nantucket without them.

I just thought of a limerick starring Dick.

Nope, won't type it...

I have never read one personally, but in The Cat Who series by Lillian Jackson Braun; the main character loves to make up limericks.

You know that young man from Nantucket?
He had a manure filled bucket
But it started to ooze
All over his shoes
So he dropped the whole lot and said "fertilising the garden sure is messy."

A nudist who lived in Caracas
Was learning to play the maracas
He shook them up high
Then he shook them down low
And they got tangled up in his know what I mean.

I love Spike Milligan's nonsense limericks. There's the pelican one, of course, but he has several others such as:

Bump
Things that go 'bump' in the night
Should not really give one a fright.
It's the hole in each ear
That lets in the fear,
That, and the absence of light!

I have a teammate whose true name is Drew,
and he is quite a bit naughty too!
He has bragged of his deeds,
but neglected my needs,
So I might judge his bragging untrue!

I will try one myself,


There was this lady badly in a hurry
because a flat tire stopped her Ferrari;
she posed very graphic
making waves in the traffic,
but the drivers had eyes for the car.

Inside an old convent in Wigan
Three nuns spoke of Father O'Higgin
But said Sister Mary
"You should see Father Clary
My word but he sure has a big 'un."

"Tis true" said young Sister Morgan
"I agree with all that you're talkin'
His cathedral is grand
And the best in the land
But he doesn't have much of an organ."

This was my Granny's favourite. She had a v posh English accent so please imagine someone like the Queen telling it:

There was a young lady from Tottenham
Whose manners, well she'd forgotten 'em
While at tea at the vicar's
She took off her knickers
Explaining she felt far too hot in 'em.

(Only.. my Granny would get mixed up and start the first line about Twickenham, which usually resulted in the young lady taking off her knickers and being sick in 'em.)

There once was a priest from Peoria
Whose morals were somewhat inferior
He did to a nun
What he shouldn't have done
And now she's a mother superior

There was an old hermit named Dave
Who kept a dead gal in his cave
He said "when they're dead
They give lousy, er, noggin
But think of the money I save"

A bachelor aged eighty-two
Searched for a wife in Peru
Though he looked far and wide
He could not find a bride
So he thought "s'pose a llama might do"

A golfer from Niagara Falls
Stood seven feet six inches tall
Whilst on the back nine
He injured his spine
When bending to pick up his balls
