Subject: RE: Favorite Limerick From: Alan of Australia Date: 20 Nov 99 - 07:32 PM There was a young man from Milan Whose poetry just didn't scan He said every time I write a new rhyme I always try to cram as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can. And Potato Fingers, yours has cleaned itself up considerably in the 40 years since I first heard it.

Subject: RE: Favorite Limerick From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Nov 99 - 07:54 PM Said the duchess one day at tea, 'Young man, do you fart when you pee?' I replied with some wit, 'Do you belch when you shit?' I think that was one up to me. There was an old man of Khartoum Who kept two black sheep in his room 'They remind me', he said 'Of two friends who are dead, But I can't quite remember of whom...' There once was a lady named Gwynne Who was so exceptionally thin, That when she assayed To drink orangeade, She slipped through the straw and fell in. There once was a fellow named Clyde, Who fell in a cess pit, and died. Edward, his brother Fell into another And now they're interr'd side by side. There was a young girl of St Bride, Who ate rotten apples and died The apples fermented, Inside the lamented, And made cider inside her inside. There was a young man of St Just, Who ate apple pie til he bust. It was't the fru-it That caused him to do it, What finished him off was the crust. There was an old man of Darjeeling, Who travelled from London to Ealing The sign on the door said don't spit on the floor So he got up and spat on the ceiling. There was an old lady of Tring, Who, when somebody asked her to sing said 'Ain't it odd, I can never tell God Save the weasel from Pop goes the King!' You really don't know what you have started here - - - Whilst on honeymoon in Ireland, the other lady with us (don't ask, it is a very long story) decided that she would make a rule. If we went through a town that we knew a song about, we would have to sing it. So, through Dublin we were singing 'Molly Malone', and 'Strawberry beds run down to the Liffey', we sang going over the Bridge of Athlone, and in Lisdoonvarna (yes, a honeymoon in a village popular for its matchmaking fair....). She was winning hands down at this purile game, until we drove through Limerick...... Ah, the merits of a misspent youth, how I wish he were still here...... LTS

Subject: RE: Favorite Limerick From: sophocleese Date: 20 Nov 99 - 08:14 PM The reverend Henry Ward Beecher called the hen a most elegant creature, the hen pleased with that laid an egg in his hat, and thus did the hen reward beecher. There was a young man from St. Clair Having his girl on the stair On the 44th stroke The banister broke So he finished her off in midair. The da dada dada of Bings Talked about God and such things But his secret desire Was a boy in the choir With a bottom like jelly on springs. I forget what the dada words are. I'd rather have fingers than toes, I'd rather have ears than a nose but as for my hair I'm glad its still there I'll be awfully sad when it goes. I wish that my room had a floor, I don't care so much for a door, but this walking around without touching the ground, is getting to be quite a bore. ENOUGH!!! |

Subject: RE: Favorite Limerick From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Nov 99 - 08:33 PM There was an old man of Dunoon, Who always ate soup with a fork. For he said, 'As I eat Neither fish, fowl or flesh, I should otherwise finish too quick. There once was a person from Lyme, Who married three brides at a time. When asked 'Why a third?' He replied, 'One's absurd, And bigamy, sir, is a crime!' There was a young girl of Madras Who had the most beautiful ass. But not as you'd think, Firm, round and pink, But grey, with long ears and eats grass. There was a young lady of Wantage, Of whom the town clerk took advantage. Said the borough surveyor, 'Indeed, you must pay 'er, For you've totally altered her frontage!' There was an old loony of Lyme, Whose candour was simply sublime. When they asked 'Are you there?' 'Yes' he said, 'but take care, For I'm never "all there" at one time!' And how about these for late at night and p***ed as a fart? There was a young fellow named Cholmondeley, Whose bride was so mellow and colmondeley, That the best man, Colquhoun, An insane young bolquhoun, Could only stand still and stare dolmondeley. The bridegrooms' first cousin, young Belvoir, Whose dad was a Lancashire welvoir, Arrived with George Bohun, At just about nohun When excitement was mounting to felvoir. The vicar - his surname was Beauchamp - Of marriage endeavoured to teauchamp, While the bridesmaid, Miss Marjoribanks Played one or two harjoripranks But the shoe that she threw failed to reauchamp.

Subject: RE: Favorite Limerick From: catspaw49 Date: 20 Nov 99 - 09:16 PM Again Bill...you and I have some strange shit in common...not to mention the schizoid Fielding guy. So... There once was a young man named Glass,Who had two nuts both made of brass. When he rubbed them together, They played "Stormy Weather," and lightning shot out of his ass. There once was a man named Magruder, Who met a nude and he wooed her. But she thought it was crude to be wooed in the nude, But Magruder was shrewd and he screwed her. A lovely lass name of McNair, Was had by a fella' all covered with hair. When he took off his hat, she realized that, She'd been fucked by Smokey the Bear. There was a young couple named Kelly, Who went around belly to belly. Because in their haste they used library paste, Instead of petroleum jelly. An adventurous lady named Alice, used a dynamite stick for a phallus. They found her vagina in North Carolina, and bits of her tits in Dallas. A new bride living in Norway, Hung by her heels in the doorway. She told her young man, "Get off that divan, I think I've discovered one more way." A fair young maid from Exeter, was so comely men craned their necks at her. One was even so brave as to take out and wave the distinguishing mark of his sex at her. A fairy who lived in Khartoum, took a lesbian up to his room. They argued all night over who had the right, to do WHAT and with WHICH and to WHOM. A daring young fellow named Blair, Took his girl up on the stair. But when he gave her a poke, the bannister broke, So he finished the fuck in mid-air. A humorous young Harvard bloke, Took a Vassar girl out for a poke. He pulled down her pants, Fucked her into a trance...And then shit in her shoe for a joke! ENOUGH!!!!!!!!I hate my mind...I can remember and invent these ad infinitum..AARRGGHHHH Spaw

Subject: RE: Favorite Limerick From: _gargoyle Date: 20 Nov 99 - 10:03 PM In an effort to convert this a "Music Thread" An old college drinking song (unable to locate it in the DT) used Lymerics for the Verse and the Chorus ran something to effect of:
Aye, Yi, Yi, Yi, in China they do it for chili
The tune was perhaps the Mexican "La Champaneros" (sic) |

Subject: RE: Favorite Limerick From: Sandy Paton Date: 20 Nov 99 - 10:57 PM Jonathan Eberhart taught us "The Limerick Game" while here to make his recording. Played thusly: Each player writes the first and last lines of a limerick, they must scan properly, of course, and rhyme, but should not clearly relate to one another in any way suggesting a tie-in. These two lines are then handed to the player on the left of the originator, who must fill in with the second, third and fourth lines, creating the limerick and a reasonable connection between first and last lines. The resulting limericks are then read to the rest of the players amid loud cheers of admiration. (Hopefully) For instance: Jonathan wrote: (1) To the sound of the funeral drum... (5) In a vat of Dominican rum. To the sound of the funeral drum, The mourning procession did come. Their cries did resound For their priest, who had drowned In a vat of Dominican rum. Similarly, we created: With the grace of a fragile gazelle Moved the late actor, Zero Mostel. How he'd glide 'cross the stage With his girth, at his age, Was a secret no one could tell. Try it some night, when you're tired of all the picking and singing. Sandy |
