PostNational Limerick Day
by Cumberdanes » Tue May 12, 2020 1:17 pm

According to Twitter today is National Limerick Day. Which nation, well that's less than clear but I thought it would be fun to share one of my favourites. Please note Menzies isn't actually pronounced how you think it is.

There was a young lady named Menzies
Who said, "Do you know what this thing is?"
I said with a gasp
"That the thing is a wasp
And your holding the end where the sting is"

Anybody know any good limericks?

There was a young man from sprocket
Who went up to space in a rocket
The rocket went bang
His nuts gave a clang
And his nob ended up in his pocket

There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose dick was so long he could suck it
He said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin,
"If my ear was a pussy I'd strawberry float it"

This Edward Lear limerick takes on a different meaning with our swear filter...

There was an Old Person of Leeds,
Whose head was infested with beads;
⁠She sat on a stool
⁠And ate gooseberry-fool,
Which agreed with that Person of Leeds.

There once was a runner named Dwight
Who could run even faster than light
He set out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night

If you're Irish you see this title
And you try not to but chuckle
Cause the name for this ditty
Is the same as our Stab City
I'd go celebrate but not allowed travel

There was a young lady from Ryde
Who are ninety apples and died.
The apples fermented
Inside the lamented
And made cider inside ‘er inside.

There was a young man named Macnair
Who had an affair on the stairs
The bannister broke
So he doubted his stroke
And finished the job while mid-air.

There once was a London Mayor
Who fancied himself an EU slayer
So he campaigned a ton
And got Brexit done
And now we don’t have a prayer

There once was a man named Trump
Whose poll ratings needed a bump
He hated to lose
So he shouted “Fake News”
Because CNN gave him the hump

There once was a fan of Final Fantasy
Who entered a raft race for charity
He said "strawberry float!"
"They've capsized my boat!"
And died the next day from insanity

This fan of the famous role player
Was a regular haircut over-payer
He went in for a trim
The barber thought "cha-ching"
And he left looking like Leo Sayer

Number One Final Fantasy Fan
Took a trip to Amsterdam
He bought some 'space cake'
Then felt half baked
and wished he'd gone to Japan

There was a strange member called Jenuall
Whose tastes were unquestionably terrible
His car often broke down
In Exeter-town
And his scripting was far from numerical
