    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.

    sad 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

      Well poor stuart got snipped

      not seen in fine art
      that looked like a small tear or rip!

    I ran to the local for beer
    All happy and full of good cheer

    I would enjoy a beer about now

    things could look brighter

    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

    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!

        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!

    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?

    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

    Abe was a strange looking fellow

    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.

    and never feel any real pain!

      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!
