There was a young girl from Bombay
Who, on a slow boat to China one day,
Was trapped by the tiller
By a sex-starved gorilla
And China's a bloody long way.

A pitcher from baseball's dominions,

Decided to share his opinions,

He did harm to his game and mates,

But he learned quite a lesson, like Gates.

Keep it zipped or you'll soon be out millions.

I'm still waiting for someone to top this:
A mathmetician named Hall
Had a hexahedronical ball
The cube of its' weight
Plus his pecker, times eight
Was four fifths, of five eights
Of fuck all.

It was just as I feared it would be
Her rumblings abdominal
Were Simply abominable

Actually my two favourites are the Lady from Madras, and the "as many words in the last line...." one. So here is my next favourite.
There was a young girl from the Clyde
Who ate some green apples, and died
For the apples fermented
Inside the lamented
And made cider inside 'er insides

The Duchess enquired, at tea:
"Good sir, do you fart when you pee?"
I replied, with great wit:
"Do you belch when you shit?"
And considered it "one up" for me!

The last time I dined with the king
He did a peculiar thing
He sat on a stool
And pulled out his tool
And said "If I play, will you sing?"

Who had a Magnificent ass
Not pretty and pink
As you probably think
It was grey had long ears and ate grass!

There was a wee belgian pisser
who was a bit of a hitter or misser
He pissed in the Grail
which does without fail
Lead to a punch in the kisser

I've always enjoyed limericks and a couple of work colleagues and myself often play limerick games after a days work, particularly when we're on the road and having a few drinks at the end of the day. The game goes like this: one person starts and everyone in turn adds a line until the limerick is complete. The normal rules of rhyming and scanning must be adhered to. Anyone failing to contribute in appropriate way buys the next round of drinks. try it 'catters it's fun particularly if you can work in a few relevant themes from the day........It can also get very rude.

There was a young man of Japan
Whose limericks just wouldn't scan
When they said "Well the thing
Doesn't go with a swing"
He said "Well, you see, the trouble is that I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can!"

I've always loved a rather morbid one from the Late Edward Gorey...

There once was a prelate named Zane
Whose brain was deranged from cocaine
He lured a child
To a copse dark and wild
And beat it to death with his cane.

Err... maybe this should have gone on the "are you a Goth?" thread...

The one I've always loved was attributed to Winston Churchill.

He (supposedly) used to tell a story of how during the darkest times of the London Blitz the BBC decided to have a limerick competition. Thousands of limericks came in from all over the British Empire and finally the funniest one was chosen. Because of the language of the limerick the most objectionable words had to be "beeped" out - leaving only those acceptable for most listeners. It was finally read on the air:

beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep,

beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep,

beep beep beep beep beep,

beep beep beep beep beep,

beep beep beep beep beep f*cking c*nt.

Who had balls made out of fine brass
In times of bad weather
