since there seems to be a perty party here tonight - let me start this poetic
thread.
please add your own or funny ones you knowsmile)))


this one is by the king of limericks Edward Lear
here goes:

There was an Old Man who said, "Hush!
I perceive a young bird in this bush!"
When they said, "Is it small?"
He replied, "Not at all!
It is four times as big as the bush!"

      A telephone user from Smoo
      Complained he could never get through.
      "Is this some kind of joke?"
      Asked the telecom bloke,
      "That's not a phone, it's a shoe."

      There was a young man named Bill
      Who decided to go on the Pill.
      Said his doc, "Your plan's shady
      As you are not a lady
      And consequently will get ill."

      A gentleman from the East Coast
      Used his pants for storing his toast.
      He said "It is not
      The fact that it's hot,
      It's the crumbs that annoy me the most."

      A deviant known as Big Cyril
      Wanted sex, but not with a girl.
      So when it got dark,
      He went to the park
      And seduced and then poagered a squirrel.

      A copy/paste from: www.poetry-online.org/limericks.htm

      This ones about Iberic Peninsula wink

      There was a Young Lady of Portugal,
      Whose ideas were excessively nautical:
      She climbed up a tree,
      To examine the sea,
      But declared she would never leave Portugal.

      There was an Old Person of Cadiz,
      Who was always polite to all ladies;
      But in handing his daughter,
      He fell into the water,
      Which drowned that Old Person of Cadiz.

      A woman I know from Clydebank
      Was rowing a boat when it sank,
      Which was no great surprise
      Considering her size -
      She was almost as big as a tank.

        This one's from my boyfriend (about me):

        I once knew a girl from Gdansk,
        Who liked very much to dance,
        She spotted an Aussie,
        So handsome was he,
        And this sparked an instant romance.

        I'm not a foreigner living in Poland, in fact, I'm not even living in Poland, so
        perhaps I shouldn't be posting on this forum - but heck, I like limericks.

        Take care!

          Thanks for that. The name of the forum isn't intended to deter anyone from
          contributing, this limerick was very much on topic.

      This one's truly Iberian (and a true limerick) tongue_out

      Said Queen Isabela of Spain
      I like it now and again
      but I wish to explain
      than by now and again
      I mean now, and again, and again!

        Was she brought up by nuns?
        She would have like this fellow, his name is unknown and the rhyme with your
        nick is purely coincidental big_grin

        There was a young builder of Warrick,
        Who, often in moments euphoric,
        Could raise an erection
        Of Classic perfection,
        Ionic, Corinthian or Doric.'

      These two are pretty well known, but they're one of my favs:

      She frowned and called him Mr.
      Because, in sport, he kr.
      And so, in spite,
      That very night,
      This Mr. kr. sr.

      A girl who weighs many an oz.
      Used language I will not pronoz.
      For a fellow unkind,
      Pulled her chair out behind,
      He wanted to see if she'd boz.
