Limericks

Posted by: rodwsmith on 21 June 2013

Adam's posted a couple of limericks in the "solicitor-parked-at-owners-risk" thread, and I thought rather than join in there and drift the thread, I'd start a new one, because...


I was on a wine trip recently and one of the other people was an old boy who had been great friends with the late Cyril Ray - a celebrated wine writer but also a proponent of limericks and who had written books of them. He was noted as claiming that he could invent on the spot a limerick based on any British place name.


Someone one day proposed "Aberystwyth".

He thought for a minute and came up with this:


Two chaps from gay Aberystwyth

United the organs they kissed with

As they grew older

They became a bit bolder

And switched to the organs they pissed with.


Another was:


In the midst of her usual contortions

and despite the normal precautions

little Ermintrude

let a sperm intrude

Does anyone here do abortions?


Any more?

I always try to cram as many syllables into the very last line as I possibly can."

Wey hey!

A forumite from Canada named Wink

Of limericks not much did he think

He said: "They are rubbish"

And stormed off with a flourish:

"How low this forum doth sink!"

Good one Kevin! Shame he won't read it.

Winky don't like nonsense verse

because often it's crude and terse

others on the forum

he has to deplore 'em

for being so rude and perverse
