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. :>)
From Ann:
From Suzanne:
oh, give us Doug's second limerick, do :-)
ReplyDeleteMy second-favorite clean limerick:
ReplyDeleteAn amorous M.A.
Said of Cupid, the C.D.,
"From their prodigal use
He is, I deduce,
The John Jacob A.H."
Sorry, Cathy, but I have standards. :-)
ReplyDeletePaul (A.), I like your clean limerick very much. A+ for you.
Just because of that slight, Mimi, you don't get to see my favorite clean limerick.
ReplyDeletePaul (A.), the loss is all mine, but my integrity, such as it is, still rules.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's the dodgy one that actually slipped by Edward Lear in his printed collection:
ReplyDeleteThere 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.
Paul (A.), another version:
ReplyDeleteThere 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.
Innocent, Ha!
ReplyDeleteThink of "interred" (or "interr'd") as two words.
All right, then. But I needed a little help, which proves that I am an innocent.
