Does anybody know of a newsgroup devoted to the fine and subtle art of the
limerick? If not, why not get some limericks going here on rec.humor?

Here's one I wrote when a friend told me I'd never be able to write a
limerick for the city Hoboken:

There once was a man from Hoboken
Who feared that his penis was broken.
The doctor said, "Mister,
Just look at this blister!
And you've bent it in half with your strokin'!"

Cheers.....

A mathemetician named Hall
Had a hexahedronical ball
The cube of its weight
Times his pecker, plus eight
Is his phone number ... give him a call

There once was a man from Australia
Who painted his ass like a dahlia
The color was fine
And the likeness, sublime
But the aroma, now that was the falia

There was a young lady from Wheeling
Who professed to no sexual feeling
Till a cynic named Boris
Just touched her clitoris
And she had to be scraped off the ceiling

There was an old man from Calcutter
Who greased up his asshole with butter
And instead of the roar
We heard there before
Came a soft oleaginous mutter

There was a young fellow named Herkin
Who kept on jerkin' his gherkin!
His mother said, "Herkin,

"Your gherkin's for ferkin' Herkin!"

Back in college we used to write dirty limericks about people we knew.
The poems had NOTHING to do with the people themseleves; we just built
rhymes around their names. One result I came up with:

There once was a girl named Beth Berman
Who liked to drink everyone's sperm in.
She said, with a pout,
"This tastes like sauerkraut.
Are you sure that you aren't a German"?

You weren't allowed to write one about yourself, though. I don't
exactly recall the one they made up about me, but it did rhyme "Bob"
with "Corn on the cob". The less said the better...

I sent this a few years back when I was an undergraduate at Strathclyde.....

There was a young man from Lyme
Who couldn't get limericks to sound right.
When asked why not
it was said that he thought
They were overly long and far to complex, possibly even dull.

I made this one up many years ago, after the author of the best selling
diet book "The Scarsdale Diet" was killed by his ex-lover, a then
matronly looking society type, whom he had jilted for a young trophy
bimbo following the success of his book.


His mistress saw the diet doc stray
So she went to his house late one day
He said, please don't shout
But you're just too dried out
So she blew the poor bastard away

A bather whose clothing was strewd
By breezes which left her quite nude
Saw a man come along
And unless I'm quite wrong
You expected this line to be lewd.

There was a young man from Madrass
Who had both his balls dipped in brass.
He banged them together
And played "Stormy Weather"
And lightning came out of his ass.

Thank you, thank you.

: Who kept on jerkin' his gherkin!
: His mother said, "Herkin,
: quit jerkin' your gherking!"
: "Your gherkin's for ferkin' Herkin!"

My variation on this one for a college friend named Gerken:

There once was a young man named Gerken
Who was always jerkin' his perkin.
His wife said, "Gerken,
With jerkin' your perkin,
You're shirkin' your firkin', ya bastard!

There was a chior boy named Kevin,
Who was had in the courtyard by seven.

Those lascivious beasts!
Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.

There was a young woman called Ann
Whose limericks would never quite scan
She said "I'll admit
I'm a bit of a twit
But I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can"

There was a young man from Peru
Whose limericks all end at line two

There was a young man from Verdun

A modest young girl named Oola
Once donned a grass skirt to dance Hula
A cow ate the grass
Exposing her ass
Now she's no longer modest but coola

I think this is from a book of Asimov's dirty limericks:

On a bridge overlooking a ravine
Archibald was screwing Kathleen.
The force of his lunge
Caused the whole bridge to plunge.
The worst fucking disaster yet seen.

"You know," said Arthur, "it's times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon
airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in

I was young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"

There once was a fellow named Clyde.
Fell into a cesspool and died.
Along came his brother,
Fell into the other,
And they were in turd side by side.

Professed to no sexual feeling

Till a cynic named Boris
Just touched her clitoris
And she had to be scraped off the ceiling

Has a hexahedronical ball
And the cube of its weight

Painted his ass like a dahlia
The likeness was fine
And the color sublime

There once was a senator from Mass.
Went hunting for a stray piece of ass
Lucked out and found one
Fucked up and drowned one
Now his dreams are a piece of the past..

There was a young man from 'Down Under'
who claimed his privates were the world's seventh wonder.
As he walked around town
his dick trailed the ground
and when his balls moved
it sounded like thunder.

There was a young man from Beltucket
who's dick was so long he could suck it.
Said he with a grin
wiping cum from his chin
if my ear was a cu*t
I could f*ck it!

There was a young man from Duncave
who dug a dead whore from her grave.
He said "I must admit,
I'm a bit of a shit...
but think of the money I've saved!"

Try the Penguin Book of Limericks. It has hundreds. It has the Farta from
Sparta. It has every limerick I have seen posted here, including:-

On the chest of a barmaid from Sale
Was tattooed the prices of Ale
And on her behind,
For the sake of the Blind,
Was the same information in Braille.

Several pages of the woman from Ulva

Ethnologists up with the Sioux
Wired home for 2 punts one canoe
The answer, next day,
Said "girls on their way,
But What in Hell's name's a 'Panoe'?"

A few on the women and men from Nantucket

There was a young man from Australia,
Who painted his arse like a dahlia
A penny a smell
Was doing quite well,
But sixpence a lick was a failure.

And many more.

There was a young man from Dundee
Who came home as drunk as can be
He wound up the clock
With the end of his c*ck
And b*ggered his wife with the key

Thank God for the breezes
That blow through the treeses
And lift little girl's skirts
above their kneeses.
Little boy seeses,
Does how he pleases.
That's how he got social diseases.

i heard the the one about the breezes and the treeses as a toast only it
went this way:
here's to the breezes
that blows through the treeses

it teases
it pleases
it spreads diseases

To add to this collection:

An archaeologist named Hassel
Found a wondrous fossil
He could tell by the bend
And the knob at the end
'Twas the peter of Paul the Apostle.

I think you'll find that in "The Art of the Limerick" or something very
much like it...

There was a young maid from Madras
Who had a remarkable ass
Not rouned and pink
As you probably think
It was grey, had long ears and ate grass


There was a young maid from Arrat
Who had triplets named Nat, Tat and Pat
It was fun in the breeding
But hell in the feeding
When she found she had no tit for Tat
