1. There are some great clean limericks out there:
An epicure dining at Crewe
Found quite a large mouse in his stew
Said the waiter: "Don't shout!
Or wave it about!
The others will want one, too!"

A girl from the Isle of Wight
Used to travel much faster than light
She set out one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night!

There once was a woman from Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger
She went for a ride
And came back inside,
And the smile on the face of the tiger

3. ...
Aristus desired to display

a Limerick not too risque,

to Google he turned

and suddenly learned,

t'were many a choice to array.

6. Those weren't from Google! Those were from memory!
My family loves limericks. We were always telling them when I was growing up. Here are a couple more (from MEMORY! B-) )

A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot
Said the two to the tutor:
"Is it harder to toot?
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

There once was a woman from Worchester
Who use-esed to crow like a roos-ester
She use-esed to climb
Seven trees at a time
But her sis-ester use-esed to boos-ester.

7. Oops!
Aristus, oh dear, I've insulted

in claiming this work just resulted

from Googling at random

the Web with abandon,

Forgive me, I should have consulted...

:blush:

2. Let's do this thing...
The Lounge was attacked by bored fools,
Who used satire like rusty sword tools.
Said the mods, after talking,
and some serious locking,

4. here's an oldie for you
There was a gay boy of Khartoum,
Who took a lesbian up to his room.
But they argued all night,
Over who had the right,
To do what, with which and to whom.

Edited on Fri Mar-13-09 08:20 PM by blockhead
who complained of a pain in his belly,

the doctor said gas,

but soon it will pass,

and now Kellys well but is smelly.

8. This has been posted before, but what the hell....I am the author, after all
There once was a man from Saint Brittle
Who told his Doctor his unit was little
The treatment, I guess
Was a smashing success
'Cause he now needs a bell tower to piddle

10. Whoa!
A smashing success by Saint Brittle?

doesn't sound like it's worth a bum fiddle.

if solving the riddle

means smashing my diddle...

No thanks, but I'd rather be little.

:scared:
