That Patrick, he is a great one,
His staff, it's surely a straight one,
He drives out the snakes,
While good Christians he makes,
Of Ireland, he is the patron.

An Old Fellow Named Jed - A Classic Ghost Story Limerick
There once was an old fellow named Jed
Who most harrowing ghost stories read
He sat up all night
And shivered with fright
Till the hair stood straight up on his head
Who most harrowing ghost stories read
He sat up all night
And shivered with fright
Till the hair stood straight up on his head

The Humble, Brown Snail - Limericks for Children
Consider the humble, brown snail
He's only a head and a tail
No fingers or toes
Yet, there it goes!
Just follow its shiny, bright trail.

A Johnny Cueto - Cincinnati Reds Baseball Limerick
If you have an unwanted tomato
Or onion, or squash, or potato
To toss it with speed
These words you should heed
"Just give it to one Johnny Cueto!"

A Pirate Named Molly at the Dublin Irish Festival
Young Molly, she just wants to know
Who's playing in this year's big show

At the Dub Irish Fest
So make the announcements - let's go!

The Olympians - A Winter Olympics Limerick
Some ski, some sled, some skate
They're thinking a gold would be great
A handheld device
Or a telly'd be nice
To watch and to learn of their fate.

She Seems So Thin And Willowy (A Vinegar Valentine Limerick)
She seems so thin and willowy,
Her movements lithe and billowy, --
She tells you quite freely,
'Tis walking that really
Prevents her from growing too fat!

Secret Uses of Lemon Jello - A Limerick
Pete was a very odd fellow
He loved to make lemon jello
But he did not savor
The stuff for its flavor -
He used it to paint his house yellow.

The Dramatic Actress - Vintage Limerick Postcard
She thinks she's a dramatic queen
And that all of the critics are "mean"
But the thespian art
She brings to a part
Is some wiggles and lots of blondine.

A Young Man from Spain - A Math Limerick
There was a young man from Spain
He had a very small brain
Math wasn't easy
It made him feel queasy
So he moved to a cabin in Maine.

Valentine's Day Is Nigh - A Valentine Limerick
Yes Valentine's Day is nigh
So watch for the cute, little guy
A dart from his quiver
Will make your heart shiver
- You're smitten, and will not know why.
