I’ve been buried in toilets a few times...at least to my shoulders.

A limerick I’ve remembered for many years:
There once was a young man named Clyde
Who fell in a privy and died.
Along came his brother
Who fell in another
And now they’re interred side by side.

Usually the narrative in this type of thread is those found must have been royalty or priest due to the method of entombment.

I knew that limerick but had forgotten it! (My father was the Limerick Champion of the St. Philips (Episcopal) Cathedral Choir. Every year at the annual choir party there was a round-robin limerick tournament. If you couldn't come up with one in 20 seconds or repeated yourself, you were out. It usually came down to Dad and Big Jim Griffeth, who used to be a pro linebacker. It was quite the event.)
But apparently falling down the privy was not uncommon at all - back in the days before sewer systems, a newspaper estimated that at least one person died every week in Cincinnati along of falling into the jakes . . .

I know quite a few limericks, but never competed. My dad (from whom I learned the one I posted) once told me about a classmate in medical school who could reel them off for hours.

For all we know he was a turd.

A rolling stone? Man, they’ve been around a long time. We used to joke that after a nuclear war, the only things left alive will be rats, cockroaches and Keith Richards.

Be careful when your joke about legionnaires. If you offend them, well, they were creative.

“The limerick’s furtive and mean;
You must keep her in close quarantine;
Or she slips to the slums,
Where she quickly becomes,
Disorderly, drunk, and obscene!”
I’m no patch on my dad, but I know a few.

I’ll add that one to the old memory banks.
