Limerick time! (the sillier, the better)

Unread post by Fretless »

The was a young man in Oxfordshire
Who saw a sign ‘Pretty Girl for hire’
He took a quick peek
And she sure wasn’t chic
But it was only a fiver to try her ….

And an Irish one to follow:

There was a young man from Tralee
Got stung on the neck by a wasp
When asked if it hurt
He said, "not a bit"
It can do it again if it likes

Sic!!

There was an old man of St. Bees,
Who was stung in the arm by a wasp ;
When they asked, “Does it hurt?”
He replied, “No, it doesn't,
But I thought all the while 'twas a Hornet!”

There was a young lady from Bude
Who went for a swim in a pond
When a man in a punt
Stuck his pole in the water and said
"OI, you can't swim here it's private!"

There was a young bard from Japan
Whose line no one could scan
When asked was it so?
He said "yes I know"
But I like to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can.

The Japan reference gives me the excuse for this Haiku, from Dr. John Cooper-Clarke

I came up with the first 2 lines a couple of months ago and thanks to this thread I’ve got it finished. Look away if you don’t like silliness / poor taste...


There was a young girl from Wigan
Who married a lad with a big ‘un
Whenever she squeezed, he started to sneeze
And now they’ve 2 kids and a Tiguan.

"Pandemic" is not easy to rhyme. :lol:

In the midst of this global pandemic.
Our PM gives advice that's generic.
He's useless at coping.
And sounds like he's hoping.
He doesn't appear hebephrenic.
