Everyone has a favourite one. There are bound to be some good ones coming from you lot. My Dad's favourite is this one:

There was a young lady from Bude
Who went for a swim in the pond
A man on a punt
Stuck his pole up her nose
And said: "You can't swim here it's private".

I've never understood that one. How about an iSketch one?

There is a website on the net
Whose members you'll never forget
You draw out the word
When the bell is heard
Will you get addicted? You bet!

My two faves:

There is a young man from Japan
Who writes limericks which never do scan
As for his rhymes, well, I'm sorry
But they make me feel poorly
And in the last line he just crams in as many words as he possibly can.

Another young poet in China
Has a feeling for rhyme much finer.
But her limericks tend
To come to an end
Suddenly.

Some more:

There once was a man from the sticks
Who liked to compose limericks.
But he failed at the sport,
For he wrote 'em too short


There was a young man of Arnoux
Whose limericks stopped at line two


There was a young man of Verdun

Oh dear - you had to start a Limericks thread:twisted::twisted:

There was a young girl name of Jill
Used a dynamite stick for a thrill
They found her ♥♥♥♥♥♥
In North Carolina
And bits of her tits in Brazil

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a young man from Nantucket
Whose ♥♥♥♥ was so long he could suck it
Said he with a grin
As he wiped off his chin
"If my ear was a ♥♥♥♥ I could ♥♥♥♥ it."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a young fellow called Trent
Whose ♥♥♥♥ was exceedingly bent
To save himself trouble
He bent it in double
And instead of coming he went

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was an old man from Belgrave
Who found a dead whore in a cave
He said "How disgusting,
But it only needs dusting,
And think of the money I'll save."

Those spoiler tags made my face frown
My curiosity I did try to drown
But alas I was weak
And I took a quick peek
And now I need a little lie-down.

lol Vik. I was going to reply doing the same thing, but one of my words ended up rhyming with one of BM's "hearted" words, so I gave up, heh. I posted one of my limeriks that I did when I was 11,
in the Rhyme Time (http://www.isketchforum.net/showpost.php?p=87252&postcount=155) thread yesterday. lol.

Another silly one I did when I was 11:

There was an old man from Brazil
who always watched The Bill (http://www.thebill.com/)
He'd eat his food in front of the telly
until he had a pain in his belly
making him feel very ill.

I remember my English teacher telling me off for that one, thinking that I was addicted to The Bill.. :rolleyes: Sorry I've slightly gone off topic. I can't say I have a favourite one, a lot of them are cleverly written :)

There once was a low Forum Junkie
Who became a bit of a monkey.
Her bad little plan
Was simply to spam
Cause Mega Member sounds much more funky!

I had a picture of yours,
it was very nice,
I put it in the attic
To scare away the mice

:p

There once was a member named rocky
who started to get a bit cocky
but his rhyme made me laugh
'specially the last half
Though it wasn't a Limerick - what a shockey!

:)

It really has got to be said,
That this is a Limerick thread
If the middle lines don't rhyme,
First, second and last don't chime
I shall have to bite off your head!

lol jk, welcome to the thread :P

Tim and me a-camping went
Saw some sheilas in a tent
They being three
and we being two
I bucked one and Timbuktu

I knew a limerick, that was not,
It's just a rhyme someplace I got,
t'was funny, I had to quote
made me laugh, It had to be wrote
and bah! Vik had to get me caught!

hehehe I wrote a few for poetry last semester, (I read these out loud to the class btw)

His pint glass fell to the floor,
He couldn't drink any more,
He wobbled and stumbled
And fumbled and grumbled
And chased after the town whore.

wrote a second part to it which isn't as good...

The whore slapped him in the face
His dignity he could not replace
So he walked straight to his house
The one room flat with the mouse
And put on his pajamas of lace.
