578.0. "THERE ONCE WAS A...." by CSCMA::BARRIEAU () Fri Oct 28 1988 19:35

    There was was a girl named McBride.
    Who from eating green apples she died.
    The apples fermented, inside the lamented,
    And made cider, inside her inside.

    The limerick is an art complex
    Whose subjects chiefly turn to sex
    	With unwilling virgins
    	And masculine urgin's
    For vulgar, erotic effects.
    
    
    I wonder if the moderators really want to consider
    a topic filled with limericks. They tend to go
    down hill very rapidly.

     There once was a noter named Dan
     Whose limericks never would scan
          When asked why this was
          He said it's because
     I always try to fit everything into the last line that I possibly can!

    There once was a young many from Trinity
    Who, although he could trill like a linnet, he
    Could never complete
    Any stanzas with feet
    Saying, "Kind people, can't you see that what I am trying to write
    is actully free verse?"

    A poet who wrote with a passion
    Published books people never sunk cash in.
    	Though his works were superb
    	With the turn of a verb,
    His rhymes -- they were e'er Ogden Nashian.
    
    
    -- Glinch.

    The camel has a single hump,
    The dromedary two.
    Or else the other way around,
    I'm never sure. Are you?

    One-l lama, he's a priest
    two-l lama, he's a beast
    but I'll bet you a silk pajama
    there isn't any three-l lllama*
    
    *note, I have just been apprised of the existence of the fire known
    as the three alahmah...
    
    (also Ogden Nash, I believe)

    The turtle lives twixt plated decks
    Which practically conceal its sex.
    I think it clever of the turtle
    In such a fix to be so fertile.
