Limericks

I know of a finicky cheetah
Who serves up his prey on a pita.
He turns down gazelle,
And kudu as well,
Unless it's been topped with Velveeta.

    He arrived soaking wet
    But his only regret...

    But his only regret...
    Was arriving on the wrong day ordained.

  • I haven't tried pelican yet:
    To do so would put me in debt.
    If I found a venue
    With that on the menu,
    The bill would be massive I bet.

  • this one's called #

    He said with a leer "I like you"
    You know what I'd like to do?
    So what do you say?
    Lots of girls say ok
    She said with a sigh "Me too"

  • The stranger, he needed a cuddle -
    His insides were all of a muddle.
    She made him a nest,
    His head on her chest.
    He cried till the floor was a puddle.

  • There once was a runner named Dwight
    who could jog much faster than light.
    He went out one day
    in his usual way
    and returned the previous night.

  • How much wood 🪵
    Could a woodchuck chuck
    If a woodchuck could chuck
    Wood 🪵

  • T’was match point, service in motion -
    A lot of underspin was my notion.
    I missed the ball
    Easy umpires call
    Baffled and dejected was my emotion..

    There once was a girl in a choir
    Whose voice rose up higher and higher
    Till it reached such a height
    It went clear out of sight
    They found it next day in a spire

  • The pretty young princess of Prague
    Wrote fanciful tales on her blague:
    The prince, who was Czech
    She'd kissed on the nzech,
    When he had the form of a frague.

    There once was a woodchuck named Chuck
    Who set out to find wood to chuck
    He found a log pile
    Grabbed one with a smile
    It fell on his toe. He yelled...

  • First online date, logged in on Zoom
    As a safety measure, used non de plume
    She cut it short
    Hit the button abort
    For the upstairs neighbors’ Hoover vroom

  • I saw a young girl in a frock
    It appeared she was missing a sock
    I gave her pair, since I had a spare
    Then watched as she went down block

    I'm not terribly poetic but I wanted to participate XD

  • @squeakytoy you are a wordsmith indeed!

  • [Deleted User]squeakytoy (deleted user)

    @JoyfulHeart Oh lord, I'd entirely forgotten I wrote that :joy: Thank you!

    (And I'm pleased to see this thread resurrected! I hope people add more limericks)

  • [Deleted User]arghdaddy (deleted user)

    @cuddles_ndream and @squeakytoy , y’all are hilarious!

    There once was a cuddler
    Who didn’t know to cuddle
    As much and as hard as he tried
    He seemed so befuddled
    But along came a stranger
    Who wasn’t a danger
    And many wondrous cuddles arrived
    (or And soon together they lied?)

  • [Deleted User]CharlesThePoet (deleted user)

    My favorite:

    There once was a man
    From Cork, who got limericks
    And haikus confused.

  • @CharlesThePoet I like that one too!

  • [Deleted User]CharlesThePoet (deleted user)

    @JoyfulHeart

    It’s an old one, wish I could claim it.

  • @CharlesThePoet Some of my limericks take inspiration from great poets who broke the rules.

  • There once was a site built for cuddles
    With forums that sometimes got muddled
    But all percerviered
    And soon it was clear
    Some kindness can feel like a snuggle

  • Math:
    A dozen, a gross, and a score,
    Plus three times the square root of four,
    Divided by seven
    Plus five times eleven
    Is nine squared and not a bit more.

    @cookiecrumb I'm ashamed to admit, I just had to calculate it :mrgreen: And your limerick tells the truth!

  • [Deleted User]DarrenWalker (deleted user)

    @cookiecrumb: Wow, it is. Neat.

  • There once was a cuddler from LA
    Who knew twas best to behave
    She was dyin to share but instead giggled and stared
    She'll take her limerick to her grave.
