How About Some Original Limericks ?
05/09/05 | vanity

Posted on 05/09/2005 4:08:49 PM PDT by genefromjersey

To lighten up our week (I've been up to my neck in deadly serious stuff !),I propose a thread devoted to original limericks.

Nothing obscene,mind you,but you have to make them up on the spot.A little "juvenile" humor - such as the following - is okay.

Should there be a prize? Maybe an autographed full-length photo of The Hero of Chappaquiddick in a bathing suit?

(Well,okay: maybe not !)

Without further ado, I present:

GRANNY FRANNIE

Frannie the flatulent granny
Once filled every nook,niche,and cranny
Of her church with such vapors
It made all the papers.
"Where's everyone gone?",cried old Frannie.


TOPICS: Humor; Poetry; The Poetry Branch
KEYWORDS: limericks; original; poetry

My 'puter capabilities don’t include,
Reception from your web cam, dude.
Thank goodness! I'm so glad,
'Cause I think t’would be bad
To see Freeper PatrickHenry in the nude!

I've chosen to take this as a compliment.

Pissant knows better than to pi** me off!

A pansy who lived in Khartoum
Took a lesbian up to his room;
And they argued all night
Over who had the right
To do what of which
And to whom.

As no target's outsmartin' the arrow,
No fun thread gets by martin_fierro.
Never seen such a thing,
And so here with a zing
Comes a ping from our gay caballero!

the once was man named DeLay
the dims thought they'd get their way
use the nuclear option, put the dims up for adoption
to compromise now would be gay.

If you don't get that, go watch Being John Malkovich.

Which I heard was originally going to be Being Willem Dafoe, but Willem said he wasn't going to be an obscure reference on Free Republic years later, so Malkovich got the part.

BTW, Robert Preston wasn't in real life, he just played one in one movie.

Here's a page with a whole bunch of politically flavored limericks!
All written by Freeper "dionysus".

My personal favorite:

The impeccably natty Dan Rather
Shaves close ‘fore the camera-folks gather
But when his image came back
From his chat in Iraq
The stuff ‘round his mouth wasn’t lather.

There once was a man from Nantucket...

...who kept all his cash in a bucket.
      But his daughter Nan
      ran away with her man.
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

There once was a runaway bride

Said she must run away and hide

But there was no blue van

No Hispanic man

Now no one is on her side

A poster by the name of Alisa
Was no kin to sweet Mother Theresa;
And would rail in "The Blogs"
About Damn Bloody Wogs
While munching an anchovy pizza.
