   Greetings -
   Fellow hubber Alekhouse visited my limerick hub yesterday and suggested (in a limerick exchange) we should bring it here, as a challenge.
   
   Please join in, with original limericks only.
   If unsure how to write one, instructions are here
   http://hubpages.com/hub/How_to_write_a_Limerick
   Here goes:
   
   
   
   OK - the floor's free...

      Write a Limerick expressly for you,
      PG and A-House
      May think me a Louse

   Instead of preparing to sleep
   Or at least to count woolly sheep
   Right here on this thread
   From out of my head
   Comes rhyming with timing so cheap
   
   Instead of out making a buck
   Here I am trying my luck
   I'll not make a dime
   Not one single time
   But at least my keyboard's not stuck

   It's better than having a moan,
   a whinge or a whine or a groan.
   Religion is woolly
   and politics gruely
   but limericks cut to the bone.

   Digression is perfectly fine.
   Consider the socks on the line
   It's patently silly
   to think of a lily
   as Solomon's footwear, or mine.

    Oh...so it is a limerick that thou seeks...
    I can do this poetry with a few tweaks...
    So, I thought about each line,
    Making sure they made a limerick rhyme,
    And thought...limerick lines are for geeks!
    
    Juz' kiddin'...I only play...
    I meant nuth-in' by what I say...
    just came up with this pun,
    and couldn't resist the fun,
    Of firin' off one...in a "Manly" way!
    
    Please don't find MPM as someone mean...
    I wrestled with this 'til I turned green...
    I'm still new here, my hub clicks could get rocky,
    If I wrote something like a jerk-and appear cocky,
    However, my rhymin' is greater than anyone has ever seen!
    
    (Not true-the rhymes from all these great limericks before me are way much better! Humbly, MPM)

       I published a silly hub of poems and two limericks. Here were my contributions regarding pigeons:
       
       Limerick The First:
       The Bird Lady’s fond of all pigeons.
       So much that she’d start a religion.
       She’d call, “Kitty-coo,”
       From under the poo
       Which weighed much on her final decision.
       
       
       Limerick The Second:
       Pigeons loved to bomb old Colonel Thistle.
       The bombs even made sounds like whistles!
       The Colonel, in fits,
       Finally scared them to bits
       By launching a heat seeking missle.
