Get Your Limerick Published in Penthouse

Penthouse Magazine prints a monthy feature called "Ribald Rimes."
This item presents from 4 to 6 limericks selected by the editors.
There are, as you might expect, few limitations as to subject matter
or language. The only criteria is that the limerick must be freshly
minted and amusing.

As the editor of this page, I'd like to invite members of
alt.jokes.limericks to submit their original limericks for
consideration.

Any chosen to be published will receive a free one-year subscription
to Penthouse Magazine.

Submissions should be sent to gerard.v...@generalmedia.com
with the subject line: limerick.

Please note that because of the lead time of the magazine limericks
tied to breaking news events will be unlikely candidates for
publication.

Also please note that Clinton/ Lewinsky limericks are a glut on the
market and highly unlikely to be chosen.

Ditto dynamite sticks used as a phallus, guys named Dave who live
in a cave, and anyone born on the island of Nantucket.

Other than that, rime away!

SHIT! What a time for my smut-rhymer to go on the blink! I'd sure like
to add THAT to my non-existant list of credits...LOL

The editor, Bob Guccione
Prints Penthouse, for whacking your pony
Playboy is too neat
Hustler is raw meat
But Forum, I think, is a phony.

(no free subscription for that one)

What the hell is Penthouse doing in here,
Did Gerard enter to eavesdrop and leer?
Naked girls in all their glories
Of course I just read the stories
I couldn't write a lim for him that's sincere.

Yowsah, Yowsah >Get Your Limerick Published in Penthouse<

Send pics of your girlfriends sans pants,
And lim'ricks when you get the chance.
Make sure that your copy
Is not getting sloppy,
And edit these shots of my manse.

Please proofread this issue for free,
But, Golly, how rude can I be?
For lim'rick donation
Your grand compensation:
A year of our rag is on me!

Oh, Bob, it would be quite grand,
Our rhymes to be read through the land,
Mixed up with pudenda
Of various genda,
In a tome to be read with one hand.

For an aging, medalioned, old voyeur,
Bob, you’re nearly as smart as my lawyer.
I feel like a jerk,
Still going to work.
While Penthouse editors play Thomas Sawyer.

Irish -- OK, OK, he didn’t say “yowsah”

Been there, and done that before
I'm already a true Penthouse whore
'Stead of plain STD's
I got writer's disease ...
Do you think I should send in some more?

Ah, now we come down to the fee
My talent's worth money, I see
Like some Penthouse Pets
My only regret's
All that GOOD stuff I put out for free!

A Penthouse subscription, I'm hopin'
No more just sittin' and mopin'
The old ones I got
Are not so hot
The pages are stuck and won't open

When posing a Pet for a shot,
Bob uses this technique a lot:
His lenses he pastes
With glycerine wastes
To tone down the glare from her twat.

Irish -- (always thought those things were a little fuzzy)

The men of the world are obsessed
with a forty-two, double-dee breast
a peek-a-boo nipple
sure causes a ripple
and their own palms can finish the rest!

A 42 double D breast,
is entirely too large a chest.
Now a 36 C
is the right size for me.
In the hand - a waste, is the rest.

Dub D’s are fine for a ripple,
While A’s aren’t more than a stipple.
Just give me a cup
Where the pink stands way up -
All I need’s a mouthful of nipple.

Your query is somewhat perverse
And frankly, distressing my nurse
- a old penthouse pet
Who never once yet
Demanded I screw her in verse

Whoa! I thought John Miller was gone!
He's back from the old great beyond.
I'm glad that you're here
I'd by you a beer
But all you'd get's one electron.

I can see we're all having a time
Making fun of this non-lim'rick crime.
In what Gerry wrote
I can't help but note
That this "editor" cannot spell "rhyme"!

I thought that I'd give you a by
before I wished you a good 'bye!
I say, though, right here
if you want a beer
like most things, it's something you BUY.

Stretching way back to 1998? No, he was marvelously alive then.

John's limericks were often ironic.
It's not wrong to call him iconic.
His talent was vast,
he was wonderfully smart-assed,
and your 'lectron has made him ionic.

He'd positively love that.
