There was a fellow called Mort
Whos things were incredibly small
So to make amends he and some friends
Glued a Vacuum Cleaner to his shoe.

I stood on a stage and recited, Of the ages when knighthood was knighted, And their maidens fair Wore no underwear, leaving vassals and pages delighted.

Guest, Guesting, I think you screwed up there on the rhymes. I notice that amends and friends DOES rhyme which doesn't work with the rest of your composition, so I would suggest a modest change. It also scans too well, so let's try this instead:

There was a fellow called Mort
Who's testicular appendages were somewhat on the small side
So to make amends
He and some of his other buddies
Glued a Vacuum Cleaner to his shoe.

See....With just a little more work, it's a complete fuck-up! Happy to help, no need for thanks!

First .... Very nice Amos. I'll deal with you later....

Let me say that it is not uncommon for me to get e-mails and PM's from other 'Catters with some info or a website or something they have found somewhere that for some reason made them think of me. These are generally forwarded with note inferring that the sender wouldn't use it, but I was of course free to do so. Uh, huh............Meaning: "I wouldnt want anyone to know I found such crap, but I'm sending it to you because Ol' Spaw will post anything!

Sadly, this is true.

I have never revealed the 'Catters who have sent me so many of these "jewels," for which I am widely known and often criticized.....and I won't in this case either, although if you read closely, I have spelled it out for you.

Now, I am about to post another....this time on a dare. I expect to catch some flak, but it's important to maintain your rep so.........After receiving this turkey here I enjoy my exultation.........In what you ask? Well, winning the bet of course!

There was a young man named Souse,
Who traded his wife for an outhouse,
When folks asked him, "Why",
He just slapped his thigh,
And said "'Cause the hole was smaller and it smelled better !!!"

Really gawdawful and insulting as hell ain't it? But there you have it!!!

Well, I'm glad to see that these threads have reached their intelectual apex. Limericks are the "Bubblegum" of humor, fit for the unfit, only. Needless to say, I've written hundreds of them. I have, even, had limerick writing contests for my readers (I write a rambling column for a folksong publication in Philadelphia). I insisted that their submissions be within the bounds of good taste, as my editor is so straight, he wouldn't say, "come" with a drop on his gum. When I was conducting the campfire sings at the Philly Festival (a nocturnal obligation I fulfilled for thirty years) my rules were more relaxed. Here's one I wrote for the traditional Smut Hour.

Sure as mug shots yield non-words like muggery/ Sure as graverobbers gave us skullduggery/ There's a six legged lass/ With a cock up her ass/ The true ante-cedent of buggery.

First, one of my own, which seems to have escaped from another thread.

Bill Shatner wrote all of "Tek War",
So he claims, though I'm not too sure.
Reviews I've seen posted
Suggest it was 'ghosted',
But watch out for that damned libel law!

And, for the cognoscenti

There was a young curate of Salisbury
Whose manners were quite halisbury scalisbury.
He rode around Hampshire
Without any pampshire
'Til the Bishop insisted he walisbury!

(some knowledge of English pronunciation/ alternate placenames required!)

LOL, Nigel
And...
A very polite man named Hawarden
Went out to pick flowers in his gawarden.
If he trod on a slug
A worm or a bug
He would instantly say, "I beg pawarden."
and

She frowned and called him Mr.
Because in sport he kr.
And so in spite
That very night
This Mr. kr. sr.

Sorry, Bill D, but..

There was a young man of Japan,
Who wrote verse that never would scan.
When they said, "But the thing
Doesn't go with a swing!"
He said, "Yes, but I always like to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can "

And in the same spirit, Nigel and Willa:
There was a young man called Noti
Whose favourite food was ghoti
He said on the whole
I prefer Dover Sole
As it's just the right shape for my doti

Don't forget the young woman from Exeter
So beautiful men crained their necksather
One was so brave
As to take out and wave
The distingushing mark of his sexather.

There was a young girl from Darjeeling,
Who could dance with remarkable feeling
For miles around
There was never a sound
Save of fly buttons hitting the ceiling.

or, the version written by Spike Milligan R.I.P.

There was a young man from Darjeeling
Who boarded a bus at Ealing
It sid on the door
"Please don't spit on the floor"
So he stood up, and spat on the ceiling.

An elderly queer from Khartoum
Took a lesbian up to his room.
They lay on his bed
'Til he finally said
"Who does what?, with what?, and to whom? !"

The above is not considered 'pc', but
"It's hard to find for love nor money
A joke that's clean, and also funny!"

To clarify the earlier post,(5 up from here). An old name for Salisbury, still in use liturgically is Sarum. And this is often used as an altenate pronunciation. One assumes that other words with similar spelling can be treated in the same manner!
By the same token, the County of Hampshire is often referred to in speaking as 'Hants'.
The limerick should now make more sense.

There was a young girl, a songwriter

Whose voice just got quieter and quieter

Until one day

It just faded away

Here's one I wrote (please don't throw veggies, makes a mess on your screen*BG*)
There's a place on the Web called Mudcat
And the people there know where it's at
They can talk everyday
'bout the songs that they play
Yes, they certainly know sharp from flat.

The people at Mudcat, it seems
Can write lyrics and tunes in their dreams
But when I start to sing
the usual thing
Is my singing is drowned by their screams!

A bold Knight from old Ankh-Morpork
Decided to go for a walk.
He'd survived the crusades,
So he went to 'The Shades'.!
And this Knight, his last word was just "Squawk"!

A young architect named Yoric
One morning, while feeling euphoric,
Produced for inspection
Three kinds of erection,
Corintian, Ionic and Doric.

and an old favourite:

There was a young man from Australia
Who painted his arse like a dahlia.
The colour was fine
Likewise the design
But the aroma, now THAT was a failure!

I'll try my hand at another.
A very fine fellow named Spaw
Met with Cletus, the Reg Boys and Paw
They had bacon and beans
Well, you KNOW what that means
A new paint job is needed!(GUFFAW!)
I'll go now...VF

A very strange bunch are Mudcatters
As a rule they're all mad as hatters
They find it a doddle
To spout utter twaddle
But always talk sense when it matters

Who ate some green apples and died
For the apples fermented
Inside the lamented
And made cider inside 'er insides.
