   Professor  McQuirk
   
   I thought I'd go off to college
   And get me a little knowledge;
   Professor McQuirk
   (That ridiculous jerk)
   Flunked me for 8 years solid!

   Professor McQuirk had a brother
   A meticulous curve-grading mother
   I made him look bad
   He's still mighty mad
   He failed when he graded me "Other"
   
   The class was the cutting of meat
   In Ag we must pass or repeat
   When I would not kill
   His rage tried to spill
   But still he went down to defeat
   
   I told him I'd hunted before
   And slaughtered good cattle and more
   But kill for a grade?
   Not how I was made--
   He stomped and he spit on the  floor
   
   It insulted what he thought was good
   He'd have flunked me then if he could
   But curve as he did
   Through that class I slid
   Took a "C" and got out of the 'hood!

   Professor McQuirk was so fat
   His head hardly fit in his hat
   He stuffed out his belly
   With strawberry jelly
   And biscuits and all such as that.
   
   For certain he shined his best
   At the National Pie-Eatin' Fest
   Where he shocked a million
   Outdone civilians
   By beating their Champion guest.
   
   I hear that McQuirk is retired
   From his post so highly desired
   But for Turkish cuisines
   And for eating the Dean
   I really do fear he was fired!

   There was an old codger whose spider
   was hungry for sex. He denied her,
   insisting she ought to
   be celibate. Not to
   distress her, he shot her and fried her.
   
   Her ghost (for they have them) returned
   to haunt him. She taunted - You spurned
   eight legged advances,
   d'you fancy your chances
   surviving the shade that you burned?
   
   He said (I know this is pathetic)
   I thought you were peripatetic,   
   bestowing your favours
   on shakers and ravers
   alike - you were always athletic.
   
   She said - I was certainly pliable
   my suppleness quite undeniable
   but wasn't I worthy
   of something less earthy
   than redefinition as friable?

    Time for another limerick.
    
    I copied this from myself. I originally put it in the incredibly silly religious forum.
    
    You'll notice that in megalomania

    1. 71

       earnestshubposted 15 years agoin reply to this

       A limerick is a poem with 5 lines.
       It is very complex in a way, as the first second and fifth line has about nine syllables and the the third and fourth lines usually have five or six syllables and rhyme seperately, and that is why they can be changed a little from the formula but not much.
