Thread Name: Folklore: Limericks anyone [13]
Subject: RE: BS: Limericks anyone
A complacent on Don of Divinity
Made boast of his daughter's virginity
They must have been dawdlin'
Down at old Magdalen--
It couldn't have happened at Trinity.

A mathematicians named Hall
Has a hexahedronical ball,
And the cube of its weight
Times his pecker, plus eight
is his phone number -- give him a call.

(With a sequel!):

A habit obscene and unsavory
Holds the Bishop of Wessex in slavery.
With maniacal howls
He deflowers young owls
Which he keeps in an underground aviary.

But the prior of Dunstan St. Just,
Consumed with canonical lust,
Raped the bishop's prize fowls
(His treasured young owls)
And a little green lizard, what bust.


These are all from Baring-Gould's "Lure of the Limerick."
