Not enough limericks today
we need them here on display
To keep it all flowing
with the numbers growing
of those who make limerick hay
Though joyous to bake and adore 'em
'Tis fattening to gulp and explore 'em
To make the mistake
Of eating a cake
Without the details of decorum
Malt liquor is all that it seems
Sweet wines flow forth like a dream
Still E & J Brandy
Comes in awful handy
Especially the Cask and Cream!
I'm all for having a drink
not too much for me though I think
if I drink a lot
I talk only rot
and the end of my nose goes all pink.
When the edge of a nose is pink
There's been too mucha liquor I think
Gets easy to splatter
Insensible chatter
Or splatter the stuff in a sink
Oh, oh let me try one.
I knew a young lass from Australia,
Who painted her ass like a dahlia,
The color was fine,
And likewise the design,
But ah, the smell was a failia. I'm sorry.
No need to say you are sorry
the smell is a bit of a worry
if she used a nice spray
she would not smell that way
or she could wash herself in the Murray
Monday I drank my scotch and gin
Tuesday brought my whiskey in
Wednesday went away
Thursday could'nt stay
So Friday I drank it agin'
Well poor stuart got snipped
tho his limerick was never pipped
But he mentioned a part
not seen in fine art
that looked like a small tear or rip!
Out one night to find me brandy
Ran right into homeboy Andy
He said "I got wine"
"That's lovely and fine,
And fine and lovely and dandy!"
I ran to the local for beer
All happy and full of good cheer
When I get to the store
There's a sign on the door
'ONLY BON-BONS AND WEENIES IN HERE!'
I would enjoy a beer about now
I've coffee and milk from a cow
things could look brighter
if grog got me tighter
but that would be breaking a vow.
I NEED a beer about now
To lighten the pain of the vow
That made me a thinker
And then a big drinker
Of coffee and milk from a cow
There was a young man called Hubber
Who couldn't stop writing blubber
Without any flair
He fell off his chair
I found him dead with a shudder
I hardly know now what to say
'cept my laughin's complete for today
I'm callin' a truce
To drink orange juice
And be on my merry old way....
See you later
We got our brand new water tank
Had one crazy trucker to thank
He pulled in our yard
Then popped the clutch hard
The tank quickly sank with a clank
NEVER AGAIN!
I'm hereby denouncing liquor
It's lead me to barf and to bicker--
O one last swill
That grants me a thrill
Before I become any sicker!
Before LewJ climbs on the wagon
he takes one last sip from a flagon
not his usual tot
man this liquor is hot
now he’s breathing out fire like a dragon
There was an old poet from Texas
tryin' to save money to buy him a Lexus.
His pockets were void
so he took to writing ads selling steroids
and when we complain he sold out, he decks us.
CAN YOU GUESS THIS HUBBER?
There once was a man who like to play games,
He especially enjoyed them with top heavy dames
A list he would make
Famous people might die,
But he'd pass out the points without Blinking an eye!
Happy Halloween!
lifting life in both hands
i got busy in deep sands
today when i saw my score
it surprised me more
i am still above 80 bands!
No, no--LEWJ is done with that drinkin'
He's traded his flagons for thinkin'
In the midst of this crowd
He now limericks out loud-
"I'm more sober than Abraham LIncoln!"
Was dear Abraham not an imbiber
Not even some alcohol cider?
the poor old fellow
could have turned yellow
or become a real outsider.
If old Abe WAS an imbiber
He still was of fairly good fiber
I don't think he drank
Nor played hankypank
Nor even cahooted with bribers
If Abe had to come back to life
Incarnate as Bill Clinton's wife
The things she would see
Would shock you and me
In terrible marital strife
Had he years ago come back to life
He's elected to much worser strife
With his features revealed
On a five-dollar bill
And the war with Iraq for a wife!
Procrastination's commonplace
Let me clip and paste his face
Upon the walls
Inside the halls
Of a striving Human Race
Abe was a strange looking fellow
his appearance decisively mellow
his easy manner
would be as a banner
to those who are nasty and shallow.
Well, there's 932 to go
Maybe 933 or so
More I think than 3 a day
More like ten a day I'd say
In a ready steady flow
I think we should post when we feel
we can turn the limerick wheel
it's often great fun
to lie round in the sun
inventing and making them real
Limericks remind me of my youth
back when I was seeking the truth.
Haven't done 'em in a bit
my rhyming's turned to sh*t
Now my truth comes from Vermouth.
It's nice that your at it again
it keeps off the snow and the rain
Whenever I rhyme
I'm dry all the time
and never feel any real pain!
Ah, evening has almost begun
I'm watching the last of the sun
for one more day
I really must say
That was a barrel of fun!
The longitude’s different for me
So ‘tis noon I’m approaching, you see
So I’ll make me some rhymes
Before sundowner time
This verse break is welcome, yippee!
It's 1:16 in the a.m. here
Mine eyes aburnin' but still clear
Alas! and Alack!
To bed I go back--
See ya' after I leave the sack!
Goodnight LEWJ my friend
tomorrow when were're on the mend
we will limerick away
for most of the day
until we come to the end.
Shalini you lovely young thing.
your limericks make this thread sing
I love when you write
either daytime or night
giving the limericks zing!
If I drink too much I feel dead
my toenails get stuck in my head
I throw up all day
in the usual way
Then crawl off to die in my bed.
I was on my way to the bed
When I looked up and saw what you said
Your symptoms are good
For drunk neighborhoods
But boonful for all parameds
Now this time I'm goin' to sleep
If not my body will weep
While my eyes, ablaze,
See purple haze
Instead of those ninety-nine sheep
I'm thinking of Danny McCool
Who riled every teacher in school
To be sure not to spoil it
He slept on the toilet
And flushed away all of their rules
And then there was Johnny McBunny
Who thought it was so very funny
To pick out a seat
And pour out a treat
Of water or syrup or honey
One morning his mates got a notion
To feed him a dose of his potion
He was fit by his mates
With a pair of pink skates
Propelled by perpetual motion!
Say, listen---if 5 limerick writers posted 2 limericks apiece per day starting now, this forum would accumulate 2,010 limericks by Jan. 1st, 2010. Volunteers who have enough spare time to do it would be excellent.
Other posters are always welcome of course!
Well I've come here
but not sure why,
While reading here
had reason to cry
Crying is over
and now I feel better
So let justice be honey
made from pure clover
These limericks sure play their part
In warming the cockles of my heart
To be called young
In any tongue
When you’re old – oh what joy it imparts!
My Mustang is down once again
I called for some help from a friend
He looked at me funny
And said,"Hey, ok Honey",
How will you repay in the end?
Now this really sounds like the dregs!
When your wheels don't work use the pegs
cos this sounds a bit sus
Do I feel that I must
tell you to put straps round your legs!
How dare I reveal such a scandal
Twas you sir who offered your handle
My peg a bit lame
And You out for game
Yet left me with Nought but a candle!
So I fear you may think me just thorny
Your eyes as you searched mine forelornly
You then dropped your attraction
Lamely feigned some distraction
Sadly leaving the two of us quite
When a man offers to fix your car
you may think how lucky you are
but when you offer to pay
always state in which way
or he may try make you his star!
When a woman appears a helpless bit
Some men may think she's an opportuned twit
But when he tries to access
Her state of undress
He'll find she's quite physically fit!
I once asked a speeding tornado
Outside the sweet town of Laredo
"Hey, why such a flurry?"
"Cause I'm in hurry-
Now shoo! or I'll smash your tomato"
LEWJ, the man on the job
is leading the limerick mob
the story lines funny
can't buy that with money
and he does it for less than a bob!
'Tis merely a matter of fun
To squeeze out, one by one,
A pot full of limericks
By various gimmericks
And go gloating right after they're done
there once was a hubber called lee
who saw all religions with glee
he got into trouble
for bursting their bubble
and learnt that persistence is key
Should he be called Limerick LEWJ?
It would be so fitting I’d say
The rhymes roll out fast
From his keyboard, oh blast!
There’s no way to keep up, night or day!
I took a swig from the bottle
my foot slammed down on the throttle
it went really fast
we all had a blast
in the car that was beautifully mottled
Welcome here Jackson and Lee
It really is so good to see
both of you here
so full of good cheer
to keep the limericks in key

Isn't posting a "limerick" that is NOT a limerick actually false advertising??I have bit my tongue for quite a while now about all the "limericks" that get posted on Hubpages which are NOT true limericks. They may be poems, but they are NOT limericks because they do not...
