Aye, the limerick pattern is dying
For posters in prose now are frying
Those ignorant toads
Posting bombastic goads
Against the prose posters underlying:

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece as white as snow,
and everywhere that mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
But Mary's found the cost of meat has soared, which hasn't pleased her
tonight she's having leg of lamb, the rest is in the freezer!

Here's some more:-

Mary had a little lamb, the doctor had a fit.

Jack & Jill went up the hill,
each they had a quarter,
Jill came down with 50 cents,
and they never went for water.

Not a limerick either but here goes:

Mary had a little plane
In which she would frisk
What a silly girl she was
Her silly *

When Mary had a little lamb,
The doctor sat and cried.
When Old MacDonald had a farm,
The doctor nearly died!


Mary had a little sheep.
With this sheep she went to sleep.
The sheep turned out to be a ram.
Mary had a little lamb.


Mary had a little lamb

And then she had some more.

she couldn't stop it grunting
so she took it down the garden path
and kicked it's little c**t in.

Mary had a little lamb

she also had a bear
I've often seen her little lamb
but I've never seen her bare

Agreed. But how about somebody turning them into limericks?

A lamb and a nudist called Mary
On a path met a pig so contrary
That to get anywhere
They called in a bear -
A bare bear but nonetheless scary!

The sow could do nothing but grunt
While the bare bear attacked from the front
While our girl and her lamb
(Who would soon be a ram)
Took turns in assaulting her cunt

(Now I know that this limerick's awful,
Offensive, and even unlawful;
But if some of you hicks
Would just write limericks
'Stead of bitchin' I'd soon get my craw full.

As it is there is seldom a post
To this newsgroup with even a ghost
Of a chance of assuaging
My yearning and craving
For the verse-form that I love the most)
