Keep it moderately clean, no punching, gouging or paedophilia.


There was a young man from Dumbarton
Who thought he could run like a Spartan
On the twenty fourth lap
His braces went "Snap!"
And his face turned a rare Scottish tartan.



There was a young man from Crewe
Who decided to build a canoe
But when in the river
He found with a shiver
He hadn't used waterproof glue.



There was a young man from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan
Though he tried day and night
To make it sound right
He said, "I think the problem is that always try to get as many words into the last line of the limerick as I possibly can."

Proceeding a particulary strong drink
My friend stood upside down in the sink
He inhaled more water
Than a young man really outta'
and now he can no longer think


There was a man from a place with a name
who was of particular typewriter fame
he would press all the keys
as fast as you please
and all the words would still come out the same

On recieving a new mobile telephone
phillip mind was particulary blown
not only did it have
bluetooth and satnav
It also applied your cologne.

wow, they where suprisingly hard to write.

While Titian was mixing Rose Madder,
his model did climb up a ladder,
the position, to Titian, looked good for coition,
so he climbed up the ladder and 'ad her.

Was taught that one by my form teacher in the first year of senior school. He had to explain atleast three things in it.

I count seven limericks thus far for today alone, including three by the author of the thread who titled the thread "Daily Limerick" not, "Daily Limericks." Imagine if you subscribed to a text service, say, "A spiritual thought of the day" and got text messages constantly all day with new ones. You'd be pissed.

Space it out people.

This one isn't mine, but I liked it:

There once was a poet named Will,
who wandered right over a hill.
He was speechless for hours,
over some stupid flowers.
It was years before TV, but still.

Okay, I worked so hard on that, but in the end, basically nothing really rhymes. Consider this how NOT to write a limerick.

Also, a limerick should have nine syllables in lines 1, 2, and 5 and five syllables in lines 3 and 4. The nine syllable lines should rhyme and the five syllable lines should rhyme. According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick).

I would guess so.



This limerick is from Edward Lear's A Book of Nonsense with the accompanying illustration for this limerick:

There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a Bee;
When they said, 'Does it buzz?'
He replied, 'Yes, it does!'
'It's a regular brute of a Bee!'

Not the best limerick in the world, but that book is a little bit of limerick history!

Dave, I too was a bit shocked when I saw Billy's rhyme. But remember, limericks are a process and if you reverse engineer the thinking, Billy probably came up with "lim'rick" first and then had to find a rhyme. What's more obvious? I'd even be willing to bet the line gave him pause, but then got the better of him.

Like Billy's personal hero, though on a vastly more limited basis, I will accept responsibility for Billy's actions, though I do appreciate your kind words.

And in the end you know, as do Billy and I, that his persistence will get the better of me and eventually it will be me who yields.
