In the garden of Eden sat Adam, complacently stroking his madam.Twas a grand situation, in all of creation there were only two balls and he had 'em.

There once was a whore from Peru who stuffed her vagina with glue. Said she with a grin, if they pay to get in, they'll pay to get out of it too.

Oh man! What a thread!

Oh, they're so much fun. :) Still have Isaac Asimov's on my reading list. :D

Here's one I er ... found or composed, though I didn't know alan of Australia's at all. (way up top there)

There once was a man of our time
Who tried his best to rhyme.
He thought and he thought,
His brain in a knot,
But all he could do was write non sequiturs.

Does anyone have the one i heard on "Are You Being Served"? (UK comedy program) about the tattoo in Braille? I love that one, but couldn't catch it in time. :)

Sorry, just half-remembered something from my childhood:

A wonderful beak has the pelican.
His beak can hold more than his bellican.
He keeps in his beak
Enough food for a week,
But I doubt if I see how the hellican.

Here's another non-naughty one, and it's even musically connected:

A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to teach two young tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor,
"Is it harder to toot,
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

Now here's one of my own: (Only slightly naughty)

There was a young lady from Clare
Who possessed a magnificent pair,
Or so we all thought
Till her left one got caught
On a nail and began losing air.

Now, everybody knows...

...the youmg man who came from Nantucket,
Whose dick was so long he could suck it.
He said with a grin
As he licked his foreskin,
"If my ear was a c-nt, I could f-ck it!"

oh, YES Teresa....I once quoted that limerick at our Getaway, only to hear a guffaw from behind me as out one blind member was 'amused'.

A clever young hooker named Gail
Was tattooed with her prices for tail.
And on her behind,
For the sake of the blind.
A duplicate version in braille.

Well, here's one I haven't seen written here yet:

A randy young man, name of Arden,
Got a blow-job in the garden.
When he said, "My dear Flo,
Where does my cum go?"
She answered, [Gulp!] "Beg your pardon?"

And a variation of one already printed:

There were two sisters of Birmingham,
And this is the scandal concerning 'em,
That they lifted the frock, and tickled the cock
Of the Bishop engaged in confirming 'em.


And verses from "Frigging in the Rigging" goes

The captain of the lugger
Was such a filthy bugger
Declared unfit to shovel shit
From one ship to another.

The captain's lovely daughter
She fell into the water
Delighted squeals revealed that eels
Had found her sexual quarter.

That'll do, I think.

(Most of my faves are from Pynchon's "Rocket Limericks," which I have tapes of myself singing ... They're about Allied troops who encounter a German V2 site and (variously) fall in love, or at least lust.)

There once was a fellow named Ritter
who slept with a guidance transmitter
It shriveled his cock
which fell off in his sock
and made him exceedingly bitter

I am so happy to find this thread! My faverite one comes from a great mandolin player named Gordon Titcolm . THis one has been with me for years :

                Religius:

There was a preacher of Kings
         Who preached of heavenly things
But his secret desire,
          Was a boy in the chior,
With a bum, like jelly on springs!

                   Literary:

Under the spreading chestnut tree
             The village idiot sat
Amusing himself by abusing himself
               And catching the stuff in his hat

               Cinamatic:
             (from Bridgit Jones ) hearsay told to Hugh Grant   by Colin Firth)
               related to above post .

WARNING ROOD

There was a young woman of Ealing
                Who had a paculiar feeling
she lay on her back and opend her crack
             And pissed all over the ceiling


Sorry about the last one but interesting story connected to it. Who would have thought Collin Firth knew such a limmerick ! MR DARCY !

Teresa - the one about the pelican is by Edward Lear. Or possibly Hilaire Belloc.   Between them they wrote 250% of all clean limericks.

Two from my childhood:

There was an old lady from Harrow
Who went round the world ina barrow
In crossing Ben Nevis
She fell down a crevice
For the path was exceedingly narrow

A lady who lived on the Humber
Had a wond'rous collection of lumber
Old boots and tin whistles
A brush without bristles
Three harps and a fossilised plumber

and one from slightly later, related to Nerd's:

There once was a man of Westphalia
Who painted his arse like a dahlia
Tuppence a smell
Was all very well
But threepence a lick was a fahlia.

For my teenage son (who hates math tests) ...

There was a young fellow from Trinity
Who found the cube root of infinity.
But it gave him such fidgits
To add up the digits,
He chucked math
And took up divinity

The one I know about the Bishop of Birmingham has him as the perpetrator:

The dirty old Bishop of Birmingham
Once rogered two maids while confirming 'em
As they knelt seeking God,
He excited his rod
And pumped his episcopal sperm in 'em

For years cast his line in the bay tho,
As time carried on
All the fishies were gone
So he jumped in and went
To where they go

In the chorus mentioned several times above, "In China they do it for chili" might be followed up, next time, with "In Chile they do it with turkeys", and then "In Turkey they do it with grease", and then "In Greece they do it for china", and then on.

There was a young man from Coomb Martin,
who had an immaculate partin'.
He said that the knack, was to stand back-to-back
with an elephant, just when it's       not too far away.

I think that one came from The Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra.

There was a young fiddler in Rio,
was courting a maiden named Cleo.
As she took off her panties, she said, "no Andante's.
I want this Allegro, con Brio!"

There was an old bishop from Bavery
Addicted to deeds obscene and unsavory
Amidst rumbles and howls
He deflowered young owls
In the depths of his underground aviary

A young man from Ulysses,
had balls of different sizes.
One was small,
almost no ball at all.
The other was HUGE and won prizes.

This occurred to me, in light of the wee disturbances in Tottenham.

There was a young lady from Tottenham
Who'd no manners, or else she'd forgotten 'em
While at tea at the vicar's
She took of her knickers
Because she explained, she felt 'ot in 'em.

A great many of the above were published in the Pan book of Limericks, around 1970 - yes I know there are other sources, but that book seems particularly well plundered.

One more from that source, I think

Set no store by psychoanalysis
Though the late Mr Freud
Got rather annoyed
They just cling to their old-fashioned fallacies

There once was a maid named Bathsheba
Who made love to a German amoeba
Who would writhe on her belly
In a petulant jelly
And soulfully murmur "ich liebe"

There once was a harlot named Rhoda
Who dwelt in a spacious pagoda
And festooned the walls
Of the halls with the balls
And the tools of the fools that bestrode 'er

Speaking of Nantucket, I have always had a soft spot for the pair of Clean Limericks about it
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,
The man and the girl with the bucket;
And he said to the man,
He was welcome to Nan,
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.
