Can't think of one myself, but came to the realization some time ago that "Victim of Love" by the Eagles is a limerick:

What kind of love have you got
You should be home but you're not
A room full of noise
And dangerous boys
Still makes you thirsty and hot

I heard about you and that man
There's just one thing I don't understand
You say he's a liar
And he put out your fire
How come you still got his gun in your hand

Victim of love, I see your broken heart
I could be wrong but I'm not
Victim of love, it's such an easy part
What kind of love have you got?

Another old one.....
I dined with the dutchess of Lee
who asked do you fart when you pee?
Said I with quick wit,
do you belch when you sh*t?
Hey dutchess, chalk one up for me!

I know of a FReeper name King...
Whose threads cover most anything.
He attax from the "right"
As he posts thru the night,
And he always types "pong" for a ping.

Pa followed the pair to Pawtucket -
(the man and the girl with the bucket.)
He said to the man,
"You are welcome to Nan,"
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.

From Jersey writes our friend Gene
He asks please don't be obscene
It's a really tough trick
To create a clean limerick
It's so hard to do that it's MEAN!

I once entered this in a contest (didn't win, unfortunately):

At first I set out to devise
Some lyrics to win me the prize
But once I had see
That it had to be clean
Half my words I was forced to revise.
