Hoo Rah For Limericks

This must be limerick season
A contest may be the reason
Makes me happy
And a bit sappy
Anything less would be treason

I miss souper Rico’s jokes
Of limericks he was the G.O.A.T.
I’m sure he’s free
To write plenty
In heaven aloha dear Rico

Limericks

A limerick ought to be bawdy
A little bit nasty and naughty
So if one should write
Write ones that bite
A little risqué and gaudy

Sadly Funny

Timmy Tombstone died today.
Gone with nothing left to say.
Some say it's best.
Now he can rest.
Some limericks are just grey. :)

Rico Leffanta is his name
Writing limericks is his game
Sometimes his tone
Becomes close to the bone
He is brilliant, just the same

A winner we just can't dismis

Premium Member Holiday Limericks

In Bali while on holiday
A visit from a small monkey
He grabbed my biscuit bag
This naughty scallywag
Then ate them all and ran away

Premium Member Bawdy Limericks

My mama taught me not to say
A naughty word, so stay away
With a bawdy game
That could bring me shame,
Or she won't let me out to play.

Arrangements of words can exist  
So limericks end with a twist
This jolt to the brain
Is the final refrain
Of a punch line not to be missed

There is a young lady named Jan
She lives on the Isle of Man
Her limericks top rate
She’s back from a break
Can’t wait to read them again

Limericks

A limerick ought to be funny
Like the puff on a Playboy bunny
'tis a bitter pill
But write what you will
Limericks don't earn easy money!

Premium Member Let There Be Limericks: Wanderlustless

I've never been to Rome or Nome
Or crawled through a Mayan catacomb.
I might explore
And travel more,
If I could do so without leaving home.

Premium Member A Limerick on Limericks III

The man who a limerick makes,
Some topic or other he takes.
He drags it around,
Through air and the ground,
Then at a high temperature, bakes.

Straight Flush

Limericks I posted on Soup
"Stunk like an old chicken coop"
Critics asked for more
I wondered what for
But now you have the latest poop . . . . .

His limericks I’ll never slam, for Tom’s cunning but surely no ham.

I’m rather ticked that I can’t write;
the d*mned muse refuses to light.
But bees in my bonnet
won’t get you a sonnet;
it’s limericks only tonight.

Limericks Must End

I have decided the limericks must end
But each time I firm my resolve and begin
I'll try one new
Like a Haiku
But all of a sudden it happens again!

Again, you gave writing a go;
In shame you now hang your head low.
You once had a sonnet
Or two in your bonnet;
Now limericks are all that you know.

Valentine limericks can be funny
Flowers and candy cost lots of money
But I love my wife 
And value my life
So I’ll buy her both and call her ‘honey’

Jack Is Back

After dark he has that spark,
He writes limericks for a lark,
Your chin will get sore 
From the laughter he draw,
Be careful, it's getting quite dark.

Tribute To Jack Ellison

There is this clever poet named Jack
His limericks pile up by the stack 
I try to write one
To have a little fun
But his, a feast and mine just a snack
fun

Premium Member A Limerick on Limericks

A sentence or two, nothing more.
Five rhymes, and then back out the door.
A meter that’s strained,
Some topic profaned:
Ah me! What’s a limerick for?
