He's expert with arrows and bows
Your heart's true desire, he knows
Love once invited
Will leave you excited
Your love, it then blossoms and grows.

I Need A Sign Of Spring - A Limerick
I'm looking for one certain thing
- A sign of the upcoming Spring.
Show me a robin
So I can stop sobbin'
The icy wind makes my eyes sting!

Diaper Change Limerick
When changing a two-year-old's diaper
You must be a diligent wiper
If you don't get it clean
You'll see what I mean
The smell will get riper and riper.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Limerick
"I have a dream," he said
Then four years later, he's dead
Though he is gone
His spirit lives on
For freedom, his blood, he shed.

Who Is Your Favorite President - Part 2 - Limericks for Middle Schoolers
I've studied the 43 men*
And made up my mind only when
After much thinkin'
Decided that Lincoln
Was clearly the best that has been.
*Obama is the 44th President, but Grover Cleveland was president for two nonconsective terms, so only 43 different men have been President

Now President's Day is nigh
So who is your favorite guy?

Who said when your lovers forsook her
"Oh I've no regrets
I'll take my castanets
And play and dance a cachuca!"

Save A Life - Give Blood! A Limerick
Donating blood is quite easy
They give you a ball that is squeezy
It always seems fun
(At least when you're done)
Only once did it make me feel queasy!

At St. Patrick's Ball - Vintage Limerick
At St. Patrick's Ball young McCarrell
Once appeared in orange apparel;
The costume was tasty,
But exit was hasty;
He had to walk home in a barrel.

There once was a lively combat
'Twixt Bridget and Patrick whereat
Said Bridget, "I'll stand

But, hang me, I'll never stand Pat."

A Young Lass From The West - A Cowgirl Limerick (Annie Oakley)
There was a young lass from the west
Who always seemed at her best
When she went out for fun
With her rope and her gun
She certainly was quite self possessed.
