Limericks are a much maligned poetic form. However, they can be insightful, funny, and like all poetry can serve as mirrors to reflect truth. So... Anyone up for writing limericks? I think we should try to keep them on the shy side of obscene so they may be posted in the "general" forum. (Though the form does lend itself to more base ideas.) |

hehe how about this for instant corny? lol, in a college class eons ago, we all sat around one day and spouted instant limericks it was like SNL and some of the limericks were not allowed out of the classroom according to the professor we outdid all the old fartbardsters  there once was a poetic bard pipster who shot words out nonstop from his lipster as the listeners fell down from the words of this clown he shot more than just words from his hipster I've forgotten the 'rules' for limerick but this seems to adhere to the form. |

There once was a poet named Icebox Who wore t-shirts and knee sox As he penned away His muse did sway ‘cause his writing really rocks! |

There once was a fellow named Ben Whose weight was a hundred and ten So he went to Morocco And ate a big taco And never was hungry again "To me, the thing that art does for life is to clean it, to strip it to form." |

Maybe limericks simply are meant to be dirty The humor within might make up for a lack of purity It remains to be seen that they are meant to be clean I prefer dirty over purity - I can say with great surety. |

There once was a place in cyberspace filled with people from place to place that delighted in flittering and flying around as crazy and random as they come in this town all welcomed home by Ron's passionate embrace |

I once met a girl name of Anna Who was raised in north Alabama I managed a squeeze Got a peek at her knees And the back of her hand from her mamma There once was a guy called John Derbier Who was trying to capture suburbia He tossed out a rope With a pray and a hope But got nothing except for a hernia A chef once decided to send Three puddings by mail to his friend But the friend had a fall Slipped and sat on them all But he got his desserts in the end Two fishermen, sat on a river, With nothing to catch but a shiver Gave up on the Chub Retired to the pub And drowned all their sorrows (and liver) Did you hear about old Mr Pound? Who built a tall wall on a mound The silly old goat Ended up with a moat When he read his plans the wrong way round A hunter called dirty McKlucky Rode out with his friend in Kentucky McKlucky was drunk Shot his friend and a skunk One was dead, one was smelly but lucky Ok so you get them in your head and the little beggars start taking over the place. I tell you I'm trying so hard to be good and ignore "The hot looking girl with the duck who was willing but down on her luck", can anybody help? Maybe a firetruck would do it. |

I'd just about managed to get them out of my system and this thread pops up again A limerick can easily slip Into something quite bawdy and flip So lets keep it clean And away from obscene Remember there's rules here at PIP A fellow from Dover called Martin Was intent on continually fartin Til they fastened a hose From his end to his nose Which changed his intent round to barfin There once was a dizzy old witch Who had such a terrible itch She tried out a spell Which didn't go well Now she's croaking somewhere in a ditch A dinosaur stuck in reverse Caught his tail in the back of a hearse They rubbed it with grease And then called the police Ignoring his screams for a nurse |

ah, a sorry reprint here: There once was a terrible tailor who made rubber suits on a whaler. The profits were shot when the harponists thought every whale was an overboard sailor. XD |
