The Limerick Thread

[Phi for All]

I once flew a duck to Australia.

Ducks are best because they'll never fail ya.

Fly you quick as a fox

to a post office box,

and from there, just get someone to mail ya.

 

Creationist posts are all junky.

Their arguments get kind of funky.

"Science sucks! You're all pimps!

WE are better than chimps!"

Which is really a slight to a monkey.

[Appolinaria]

too complicated

too complicated

yes it is

yes it is

too complicated

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

(stealing limericks from my computer-generated poetry stockpile)

 

I am the Alpha and the Omega

of love, knowing that I am Yahweh.

Saul struck the Amalekites, from Havilah as

was soulful, with a bit of jazz--

as though she was wearing a THONG.

[iNow]

Homeopathy is nothing but crap

Taking money away from poor saps

More dilute means more strong

Is completely silly and quite wrong

Be ever vigilant to such nonsensical traps

[Phi for All]

Appolinaria lives in Connecticut,

where they don't understand rhyming etiquette.

An angel-haired genie

who will axe your linguini,

'cause that's how they get their spaghetti cut!

Umm, S-F-N Rule 1-C

Has been violated, see?

By no less than a mod

I do not applaud

Generalized attacks on me

----------

Phi thinks humans are equal to chimps

I seem to catch a glimpse

Of monkeys engaging in science??

Evidence falls in defiance!

Of such an idea of wimps

 

#Are these actually limericks?

A lim'rick has scansion perculyar

Anapestic, or known as de de daa

the first line has three

2 and five do agree

for the rest two is all that there are

[TonyMcC]

Swansont of Washington DC

Said I get a great urge to pee

When a man with a notion

Claims perpetual motion

Is as easy as A B and C

[JohnB]

A Lim'rick packs laughs anatomical,

Into space that is quite economical.

The good ones it's seen,

Seldom are clean,

And the clean ones are seldom so comical.

 

Favourites being;

 

There was a young lass from Madrass,

Who had a magnificent ass,

Not rounded and pink,

As some people think,

T'was grey, had long ears and ate grass.

 

There was a young lady from Nod,

Who thought babies were presents from God.

But t'was not the Almighty

That lifted her nightie,

T'was Roger the lodger, the sod.

[Phi for All]

I always liked:

 

There once was a hermit named Dave,

who kept a dead whore in a cave.

Said Dave, "I'll admit

I'm a bit of a shit,

but look at the money I save!"

[TonyMcC]

I would like you to think a bit Dude

Is it true Fermat made a big boob

When he said "I have found

Proof simple and sound

That a cube plus a cube's not a cube"?

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Into space that is quite economical.

The good ones it's seen,

Seldom are clean,

And the clean ones are seldom so comical.

A lady performer in yellow

Entertained a salacious young fellow

He thrust a reward

Into her G-string, and Lord!

The string fell right off her cello.

[TonyMcC]

As a visitor from the far reaches of space

I've studied English and decided to prove my ability

By writing this Limerick

But as I don't really understand poetry

Perhaps it's not very good.
