Shock and awe, Maggie :-D

I can just read with awe :-D :-D

There once was a man from down under
Whose face was as black as thunder
You stole my rhyme
You limey slime
Cobber, that's a big blunder :-( :-( :-(

Er, John, that was the first one I posted yesterday (Oz time) :-S

Had a beautiful girl but they loucester.

And never the spacht
Could be found where the cold waves had toucester.

There once was a young man named Hyde
Who fell down a privy and died.
His younger brother
Then fell down another
And now they’re interred side by side.

There was a young vicar from Sarum
Whose manners were quite harum-scarum.
He went around Hants,
Without any pants,
'Til his bishop compelled him to wear 'em

There was a young vicar from Salisbury
whose manners were quite halisbury-scalisbury.
He went around Hampshire
without any pampshire
'til his bishop compelled him to walisbury.

Andrew....I just posted a thread for Allan.........to let him know that I do believe we got away with last nights shenanigans.

;-) :-D ;-)

The limericks are all so masterful, Andy, that all any Genes member can do is read them and admire the - what's the word I'm searching for? - the cynganedd and syntax of each beautifully crafted verse.

Art for art's sake :-) :-) :-)

Well, I didn't expect this to turn into a thread for Limericks... but thanks to everyone who has posted and given me a good laugh :-)

And nothing got RRed (yet) :-D

Andy

Oooh, Bernie, that was the limerick that I posted that got RR'd :-0 :-D

On A Maiden a man once begat
Bouncing triplets named Nat, Tat and Pat:
'Twas fun in the breeding
But hell in the feeding:
She hadn't a spare t*t for Tat

A boy at Saute Ste. Marie
said, 'Spelling is all Greek to me,
till they learne to spell "Soo"
without any "u"
or an "a" or an "l" or a "t"!'

met a red-skinned Ameriacan In. John,
who made her his bride
and gave her, beside,
a dress with a gaudy bead Fr. John.
