Were there 2+ Columbo episodes with limericks ?
Or was this the only one ?



>>> The Conspirators (1978): In “The Conspirators,” Irish poet and undercover IRA agent Joe Devlin (Clide Revill) kills an arms dealer who tried to double cross him and his conspirators.

Revill turns in a charming performance as Devlin with fantastic chemistry with Falk. The show has some fun and relaxing scenes as Columbo and Devlin play darts, make up limericks, and talk about their past. ... <<<


---- this was the one with the whiskey (?) bottle
with the label [Let each man be paid in full]


Joe Devlin:
[to Columbo] Japan sends televisions.
Ireland sends whiskey. D'you care for a nip?


Joe Devlin:
The limerick is furtive and mean.
You must keep her in close quarantine,
Or she sneaks to the slums,
And promptly becomes,
Disorderly, drunk and obscene.



Lt. Columbo:
There once was an old man from Lyme
who married three wives at a time.
When asked "Why a third?"
he replied, "One's absurd,
and two of 'em, sir, is a crime."


Lt. Columbo:
A rare old bird is the pelican.
His bill holds more than his belly can.
He can take in his beak
enough food for a week.
I'm damned if I know how the hell he can!


Lt. Columbo:
There once was a fella named Finnegan,
who escaped from a jail so to sin again.
He broke laws by the dozen,
even stole from his cousin,
so the jail he broke outta he's in again.
