So let me propose to you this thread,
We can make limericks up in our head.
Nothing too mean,
Let's keep it clean.
Without more ado, let's go a-head.

In considering the Origin of Species, it is quite conceivable that a naturalist... might come to the conclusion that each species had not been independently created, but had descended, like varieties, from other species. - Charles Darwin On the Origin of Species

A devout people with its back to the wall can be pushed deeper and deeper into hardening religious nativism, in the end even preferring national suicide to religious compromise. - Colin Wells Sailing from Byzantium

Limericks, Anyone?
Twas Once A Young Lad in St. Cloud
Good Teachers Had He And Was Proud
Learning How People Think
Made Him Swear Off The Drink
He Became A Professor Avowed

a limerick is a kind of verse
some call ad- or even worse
usually writ
with a little wit
but just a bit per verse

My personal (clean) favorite
There was a young lady named Bright,
Who traveled much faster than light.
She left one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night.

There once was a femme from Bordeaux
Who enjoyed a good cup of joe.
One day for a laugh
Her friends gave her decaf

There once was a creo advert
Starring a strict vegetarian flirt.
Though with relish and joy
He fondled his toy
His banana still didn't squirt.

I was going to give it a whack.
I had worked out a plan of attack.
But whatever I write,
No matter how bright,
After that will be anti-climack.

So much for us keeping it clean,
It's all in good fun, it would seem.
More sex poems are fine,
As long as they rhyme.
Naughty jokes never did bother me.

To rhyme with Nantucket is easy,
But such language makes some people queasy.
So I guess I'll forgo
That kind of bon mot
And try to use something less sleazy.

a creationist named ken hamm
built a museum that was really a sham
full of false hopes
for curious dopes
the result's just another bad scam

Social Life of a Poet
When yesterday was all done and said,
I decided to write limericks instead.
I could 've gone out
For a night on the town;
Now my only friends exist in my head.

Ode To Jar
Twas once an orator palmed a pea
shrugged his shoulders and cried "twas not me"!
But as we looked around, no wallets were found
and no orator then did we see!
