SOME LIMERICKS
There was an old person of Gretna
A frigid young lady from Gloucester
The limerick, rhymeless variety,
There once was a bard of Hong Kong
This is my absolute favourite limerick of all time. And to prove it I WENT to Aberystwyth and did exactly what it says!
(Well what else can you do there?)
Nostalgic in old Aberystwyth,
I sat down and made out a list, with
The names of the rude
Lovely ladies I'd screwed,
And the chaps I'd gone out and got pissed with.
RON RUBIN
Who rushed down the crater of Etna
Screaming 'Someone inside
Has bartered my bride
And I'm sure it's that maniac Smetana.'
PHILIP A. NICHOLSON
Once had an affair on the coucester
'She's cold as gazpacho,'
Complained her muchacho,
'But I'm doing my best to defrocester.'
RON RUBIN
Tries to avoid being indecent,
It chances its luck,
By not using the word 'damn',
But the mind reads what the eye doesn't hear.
V. ERNEST COX
Who thought limericks were too long.
