A Geezer Named Bernie - Halloween Skeleton Limerick

There once was a geezer named Bernie,
Who started a long, epic journey.
"I never will stop,
Till I reach the top!"
But they carried him out on a gurney.

It's Spring! Let's Play Ball - A Baseball Limerick



We've not heard this sound since last fall,
The winter, has cast its gray pall,
Spring is now here,
Grab a dog and a beer,
And wait for the shout, "Play Ball!"

If the Witches you see on paraid

But delight in a jolk
For that's just the way they are maid

He comes to see you when you're ill,
He gives you powder, dose and pill,
Your tongue consults,
Then feels your pulse,
And he is always "dressed to kill!"

Where The Wild Things Are


There was a young boy who was wild,
His actions, his mother, they riled,
So she sent him to bed,
Wild things filled his head,
When he awoke he felt peaceful and mild.

Their fans, this message, it will annoy,
The orange may fight,
From morning till night,
But the vict'ry will be ours to enjoy.

The Old Maid Limerick - She Caught A Poor Cat And A Bird

 She's caught a poor cat and a bird,
But she can't snare a man, so we've heard,
It's the old maid's sad fate
To lose out on a mate
And take tea - but s-sh! not a word.

Answer me quick now, don't diddle,
"With strings and a bow,
And best in the show?"
It's Natalie MacMaster's fine fiddle.

The Jockey - A Horse Racing Limerick



The jockey's at ev'ry race course,
His mission's to sit on a horse.
If you've gotten a "tip,"
The horse is sure to slip,
And you end up with a case of remorse.

The College Girl


Of football she talks like a sport,
And rooting and cheering's her forte,
Whichever side wins,
She's sure of "frat" pins,
For she's really a very good sort.

They gave him the prize Nobel,
Their view of the world to sell,
You're just one in the world,
Stars & Stripes, keep it furled,
To belong, just do as we tell.

Our Champion, He Was Johnny Tarr - A Gaelic Storm Limerick

Never beaten, he was at the bar,
Perhaps he was cursed,
For he died, yea, of t'irst,
The doctor exclaimed, by gar!

Lear Classics - There Was An Old Person Of Bree (Not The Bree In The Shire)

There was an old person of Bree,
Who frequented the depths of the sea;
She nurs'd the small fishes,
And washed all the dishes,
And swam back again into Bree.

Advice From Churchill - A Limerick







If you're walking through hell, keep going,
The embers around, they'll keep glowing,
Don't stop on your trek,
Eyes forward, don't wreck,
The pain that you feel is you growing.

If He Acts Like A Nasty Old Grinch (A Christmas Limerick)

If he acts like a nasty old grinch,
And the sight of him makes you flinch,
Treat him with kindness,
Perhaps you will mind less,
Though his heart grows not even an inch.

For the birds and skies of blue
But I'm thankful most
When I can boast
Of real friends just like you

The Guillotine v. Lethal Injection

Botched lethal injections have taught us
We need A Proposal, Modest
If you need someone dead
Just cut off his head
Let's use the machine the French brought us.
