ON A LIGHTER NOTE....

From Doug:
A couple of limmericks...the first is clean :>)

Now the limericks. The first is my favorite clean one.

There was a young lady from Clyde
Who ate a green apple and died
The apple fermented
Inside the lamented
And made cider inside her inside.

Sorry, folks, you're only getting the clean limerick. :>)

  2. My second-favorite clean limerick:

    An amorous M.A.
    Said of Cupid, the C.D.,
    "From their prodigal use
    He is, I deduce,
    The John Jacob A.H."

  3. Sorry, Cathy, but I have standards. :-)

    Paul (A.), I like your clean limerick very much. A+ for you.

  4. Just because of that slight, Mimi, you don't get to see my favorite clean limerick.

  5. Paul (A.), the loss is all mine, but my integrity, such as it is, still rules.

  6. And then there's the dodgy one that actually slipped by Edward Lear in his printed collection:

    There were two young brothers named Clyde.
    One fell down a privy and died.
    Shortly after his brother
    Then fell down another,
    And now they're interred side by side.

  7. Paul (A.), another version:

    There once was a fellow named Clyde,
    Who fell in a cess pit, and died.
    Edward, his brother
    Fell into another
    And now they're interr'd side by side.


    I don't get how the limerick is dodgy. I am such an innocent.

  8. Innocent, Ha!

    Think of "interred" (or "interr'd") as two words.

  9. All right, then. But I needed a little help, which proves that I am an innocent.
