Are You Telling Me Limericks Are Only Good For Cheap Laughs? (Vintage)

When the funny man's copy is due
And jokes seem remarkably few
He will jump into his chair
Take a pull at his hair
Then grind out a limerick or two.

Who ripped all her garments to patchez
When comment arose
On the state of her clothes
She drawled, When Ah itches, Ah scratchez.

The Night Piece, to Julia. By Robert Herrick (1648) - An Early Limerick

Her eyes the glow-worm lend thee,
The shooting stars attend thee;
And the elves also,
Whose little eyes glow,
Like the sparks of fire, befriend thee.

No Will-o'-th-Wisp mislight thee,
Nor snake or slow-worm bite thee;
But on, on the way,
Not making a stay,
Since ghost there's none to affright thee.

Let not the dark thee cumber:
What though the moon does slumber?
The stars of the night
Will lend thee their light
Like tapers clear without number.

Then, Julia, let me woo thee,
Thus, thus to come unto me;
And when I shall meet
Thy silv'ry feet
My soul I'll pour into thee.
