algy Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 There was a young lady from Wantage. Of whom the Town Clerk took advantage. Of course you must pay her. Said the Borough Surveyor It's you that has altered her frontage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 There was a young lady of Kent Who said that she knew what it meant When men asked her to dine, And served cocktails and wine; She knew what it meant - but she went! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I really laughed when I read this limerick..... 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 .....Not because it's funny but because of the thought of readers saying, "Eh? That doesn't even rhyme!"

RingoDave Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Cleo - the limerick about the Man of St Bees is usually quoted as the first ever true Limerick because of its scan pattern and the inherent puns. My favourite was always; To his bride said the lynx-eyed detective, "Is my eyesight the least bit defective? Is your east tit the least bit the best of the west tit, Or is it a trick of perspective?"

Cleopatra Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 For Sid, a Spike Milligan classic - A combustible woman from Thang Exploded one day with a BANG! The maid then rushed in And said with a grin, "Pardon me, madam - you rang?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RingoDave Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Nice one, Cleo - a theoretical physics limerick. A smart young fencer named Fiske Had an action incredibly brisk. So fast was his action Fitzgerald contraction Foreshortened his foil to a disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
