There's a glimmer of hope
In the methods of formality.

There was a young [lady | fellow] named Cager
Who, as a result of a wager,
Consented to fart
The whole oboe part
Of Mozart's Quartet in F major.

So the fiddlers started to play
With Cager a-farting away
When to his despair
He ran out of air
At the upbeat to four after "A"

To Cager this was quite a bummer.
His asshole was really a hummer.
Imagine his glee
When he found out that he
Had been farting the wrong Koechel number.


Many vars. Some say quintet, but Roland Hutchinson says: 'Gotta be "Quartet". The one with strings, that ends with a high F that has made (and broken) many a historical oboist's career. (K. 368b, formerly K. 370).'

Dear Robyn, I'll bet you a buck
Mr. Hinchliffe is hardly a schmuck 
Your mind should have heard
A much better word
Most clearly the writer meant "beverage."

Dear John, I know what my mind heard,
And it's a most beautiful rhyme word.
If everyone does it,
Don't that make it legit?
To not type it seems simply absurd.

The operative word is "absurd"
It adds spice to these ditties, I've heard
Christopher's verse
Would be a lot worse
If he'd just gone and typed out "that word"

I fell for this one once before
Ha ha! it is even: the score
Replace "conversation"
Use your imagination
You'll find yourself on the floor.

The atumnally horny canuck
He did arrive in his truck
To his lady he said
Things best left in bed
The author certainly has some pluck!

A horny Canuck one fall day,
So eager with his love to lay
Said in words very brief
Writ on red maple leaf
"So how 'bout a roll in the hay?"

PLATORICKS II:

We're mere prisoners; our bodies are cells - Fell from Heaven, yet why no one tells. Only one thing is sure: If our lives have been pure, We'll go home after hearing death's knells. But for most - maybe eight out of nine - Merely sensual living seems fine. What they maybe don't know Is that, after they go, They're just apt to come back as mere swine. Only love for Platonic Ideals: By its nature, that's all a soul feels. But once it's been jailed, It's of course soon assailed But a gang of less lofty appeals. Thus a soul, somehow fallen and blighted, Might let more than one impetus guide it. To seek Wisdom's just one - But now Fame, and sheer Fun, Join the list of the things that excite it. Still, for those who'd regain their high station, There's just one way - that's ratiocination: If we let more attract us Than rational practice, We'll be bumped from return aviation. On the other hand - no point denying, It takes time to get ready for flying; Though to say it's to rue it, There are few who can do it Without several times living and dying. In any case, journey's inception Is the data received through perception. But that's only a start, of course, Since our aim is to chart a course To the Forms of which they're a reflection. From the very first things we cognize, We'll perceive how the soul starts to rise. But we'll soon start to sink If, instead of to think, We're content when we're feasting our eyes.

But if more help we need with this caper, We can ask our bard, friend, also neighbor, Who would that be, You are asking me Well, it's Frank with his trusty sandpaper.

We'll have such a ball! I'm feeling so very left out Perhaps I'll just sit here and pout Because dear Arden I want to play in your "garden" And in in your valley I'll shout.

The Bare Bones Old Testament

Then down from Ur of Chaldees, Came old Ab'ram just big as you please. With some goats, a few swine, At least one Concubine, Who could put a strong man on his knees! Well, Sarah, his wife had grown old. Chance of having an offspring were cold. She said, "Go, screw the maid And don't be afraid. I'll be happy if it takes ahold!" Then Ishmal was born of that lay. And it made old Abe happy and gay. Now he had an heir. Sarah said, "I don't care, Just don't let them get in the way!" Now, Ishmal, old Abe did anoint. This pushed Sarah's nose out of joint. She said, "This won't work, The kid is half Turk! And you seem to be missing the point." Old Sarah, she pouted and cried, 'Til an Angel showed up by her side. He said, "Have I got some news! You will mother the Jews." And old Sarah was fit to be tied. She said, "Look, I am fourscore and ten. As for screwing, I have long lost the yen." Said the Angel, "Don't fret, It will happen yet. So don't think of yourself as have been." Then spring came and old Sarah foaled, And the Angel had made her quite bold. She said, "Ab'ram, you jerk You must strip that Turk Of your blessing. It has been foretold." Old Abe said, "I'd rather be dead Than do this deed that's ahead!" And then his first born Of his blessing was shorn, And 'twas given to Isaac instead. Ishmal figured he got the screw When his Daddy anointed the Jew. He said, "I'm damned mad, 'Cause I've just been had. So to this whole damned country, adieu!" Then off to the desert he went, Where he bought him a camel hair tent. Ten goats and a knife And a Bedouin wife. And figured it money well spent. Abe took Isaac up on a hill, To a pile of rocks, for the kill. God said, "Don't have a stroke, It was only a joke! For your trouble, just send me the bill." Ish and Ike grew up bye and bye, To be fruitful and to multiply. And as lusty young men, They produced lots of kin. But they never did understand why. Then Gabriel gave him a black stone, In the Kaabe at Mecca it's shown. "You'll walk seven times around For it is Holy ground. Five or six times I will not condone!" Now the Moslem have gone ever since Down to Mecca, oft at great expense, To revere that black stone, And their sins to atone, And to build up their self confidence. But to the Jew the answer is quite simple. They just pray at the wall of the Temple. There their prayers are read, As they pound their head And put notes into each crack and dimple. When descendants of the two brothers meet, It 'most always will generate heat. Jews will use gun and tank, To steal the West Bank. And anything else that looks neat. The Jews said, "We got you a deal, That is if this bargain we seal, Give us all your good land, We'll leave you the sand And just maybe a little cold steel!" But Allah says, "Rise up and fight! 'Cause what they're doing ain't right. Their leader's a thief Who will soon come to grief, When we get him lined up in our sights!"

While preparing the nest for her chicks
Mommy's good sense and judgment were nix,
Despite her credentials
She forgot the essentials
And the first meal at home was breadsticks.

With her measurements now overflowing
Margaret knew her condition was showing
For her comfort she fetched
A new wardrobe that stretched
To give Junior and Mom room for growing

In the hospital, basement to rafter,
Wendy's steamer trunk met with much laughter,
Acting most dignified
She quite calmly replied,
"I left room to pack souvenirs after."

In her choice of a pediatrician
Beth was guided by this definition,
"He's on call 'round the clock
For the needs of his flock
In the best Marcus Welby tradition.

Marci started with great expectation
Sifting dozens of recommendations,
But in all of the batch
Not one sitter did match
Mary Poppins in qualifications.

Before reaching the hospital Annie
Was as modest and shy as a granny,
This was quickly removed
Since delivery behooved
That she boldly exhibit her fanny!

Nancy commented to husband Fritz
"Though it's not quite a suite at the Ritz,
The attention's a treat
And I'm just a few feet
From a bath with my own private sitz."

In their quest to extend their good wishes
Friends and neighbors were most expeditious,
On the fragile excuse
That they might be of use
They dropped in at times most inauspicious.

From Day One it was Thelma's intention
To give Danny her total attention,
But the baby's demands
Needed four extra hands
And a six hour daily extension.

Karen's pregnancy went without hitches
Through delivery right down to the stitches,
With her labor behind
She was startled to find
That she still had to cope with those itches.

In her thanks to a misguided shopper
Mommy's note was the essence of proper,
While her infant reposed
Mom adeptly composed,
"Laurie loves her electric corn popper."

Caroline satisfied like a glutton
Every craving from ice cream to mutton,
But her urge to indulge
Left a post partum bulge
Now not one skirt or blouse can she button.

One brief glance at her measuring tape
Convinced Jane she was quite out of shape,
To her utter surprise
She enjoyed exercise
Now the gym is her favorite escape.

Jackie's face gave her friend the impression
That she suffered post partum depression
But instead of "the blues"
It was only tight shoes
Which created her woeful expression.

On their first dinner outing alone
Tom could not keep his wife from the phone
With a purse full of dimes
Ann called home 16 times
Just between her pea soup and T-bone.

When the time came to go back to work
Jenny said to concerned husband, Kirk,
"Everything will be fine
If you help tow (sic) the line
We can take a trip North as a perk!"

Millie planned her reunion with Pete
So that baby John wouldn't compete,
An evening of dancing
And quiet romancing
Made their first night together complete.

From the start it was Marilyn's aim
To get Tom in the parenting game
All his efforts were praised
And his confidence raised
Now "quick changes" are his claim to fame.

Susan gave her mom lengthy direction
On the art of wet diaper detection,
'Til at last she said "Sue,
Who do you think changed you
I can handle this job to perfection!"

An inheritance from Great Aunt Judy
Made Joan think of her own legal duty,
To the lawyer she went
And left every cent
In her will to her new baby, Trudy.

Though she dreaded a week's separation
Molly knew it was time for vacation,
When her husband inferred
Bottles, burps and Big Bird
Were her main topics of conversation.

Lear1 111, P Aug 94 where Harry Themal says: In 1907 Quentin [Roosevelt] was seven years old and attending private school in Washington.His father was campaigning for a full term; Theodore Roosevelt had succeeded to the presidency, and become the youngest man to hold that post, on the assassination of William McKinley. Quentin got into a fight with a classmate who was wearing a campaign button for the Democratic candidate, Judge Alton Parker. Collier writes that not only did Quentin proceed to "tattoo" his opponent with punches but did so while reciting [this] limerick. Says Collier: "Then, with a final punch, he [Quentin] added; And so will you if you don't give me that button." Theodore Roosevelt won the election in a landslide. Quentin would die 14 years later in World War I when his plane was shot down in France by the Germans. Index

Whose brains did happen to rain
Down from the ceiling,

Shot himself with great force,

With a shot to the head,

"But never with four, three, or two."
For three is too short --

A poet who lived in Verdun
Wrote limericks that stopped at line one.
"Since that's how it is,"
This limerick's not his.

A foreshortened limerick's not pure;
Its need to exist is obscure.
It is very important
That it not be foreshortened.

"The man who writes six lines, I'll bet,"
Has not been located as yet.
"But I sense now and then,"
"He's still weilding his pen,"
"And he's someone that one time I met,"
A meeting I'll always regret.

"A poet efficient, perplexed"
"Many folks, and it seems they were vexed,"
"For his theme, we deplore"
Would end at line four.
"The fifth line was first of the next,"

"A thing that left many perplexed,"
For shortly his theme
Would run out of steam.
"Since this line must rhyme with 'the next',"
It soon left the poor poet vexed
And somewhat perplexed.

The limerick's callous and crude,
Its morals distressingly lewd;
It's not worth the reading
By persons of breeding -
It's designed for us vulgar and rude.

The Duchess of Drood's lewd and crude,
And the men think her terribly rude.
When they swim by the docks
She tickles their cocks,
And laughs when the red tips protrude.

My lim'ricks are getting more crude.
To some they may seem downright rude.

Stop me dead before I get lewd!

Whilst the rest of my family snoozed
Now it's here I'll deposit
The rhymes from my closet
In hopes that you'll all be amused.

A frantic young woman named Crumm,
Thought her lover too naive and dumb.
She gave him no rest,
'Til he straddled her chest,
And then she was all over come.

Said an innocent bowler named Crumm,
While massaging his fiancee's bum,
"My fingers, I know,
Are where they should go,
But what has become of my thumb?"

'Twas the whimsy of a fellow named Crump
To package and peddle his dump.
But the odor o'er-fetid
Made sales rather tepid,
And his business went into a slump.

A fanatic gun-lover named Crust
Was perverse to the point of disgust:
His idea of a peach
Had a sixteen-inch breech
And a pearl-handled .44 bust.


L2, 858, B-G p116, P Aug 94 where: Doctor Limerick, who had become intimately acquainted with 16-inch-50s while making midshipman cruises on the USS Missouri and USS Wisconsin, has a lot of respect for anything with a sixteen-inch breech. A guy could fall in something like that. And as Georgie Patton once pointed out, only a pimp in a New Orleans whorehouse would have a pearl handled revolver. A real man has an ivory handled hand gun. Besides that, do you realize how weak 0.44 inches really is? A fanatic gun-lover named Crust/ Was perverse to the point of disgust:/ His choice to despoil/ Had zero recoil,/ And a 44 magnum plus bust. Index


A crusading lady named Cruze,
Was highly advanced in her views.
She once in a zoo,
Liberated a gnu,
And was lavishly praised by the News.

On an outing with seventeen Czechs,
A girl tourist supplied the free sex.
She returned from the jaunt
Feeling more or less gaunt,
But the Czechs were all absolute wrecks.


EOP p211 Index


Then said the King of the Czechs:
"I, too, have a problem in sex.
The men of my nation
Prefer masturbation,
My women are physical wrecks."

Then arose King Alphonso of Spain,
A monarch both haughty and vain:
"When a woman comes nigh,
I take Spanish fly,
And I jazz her again and again!"
 
Then said Prince Charles of Wales:
"I know what marriage entails,
So I don't want a girl
But a jolly young Earl,
To solace my passion for males."

Next spoke the venerable Pope:
"In my youth I learned how to grope.
Now, though old and infirm,
I still seek the worm
That hides 'neath the chorister's cope.

Then said the Prince Palatine:
"Of course, fornication is fine,
But I entertain 'em
Per os et per anum,
A sport I consider divine!"

Then spoke the headmaster of Rugger,
A most accomplished old bugger:
"I spend half each night
With a smooth catamite.
My wife?  I don't even hug her.

Then spoke the Sultan himself,
A monarch of great power and pelf:
"I take thirty whores
And lock all the doors,
And proceed to enjoy myself."

Then spoke up an old Maharajah:
"When I get a new wife I dodge her,
And so tease her a bit
If she's too tight a fit,
Till someone has made her hole larger."

Then spoke the Grand Duke of Lorraine:
"Your worries give me a pain.
I don't worry at all,
But retire to my hall
And beget new blacks for my train."

An Episcopal Bishop coadjutor
Proclaimed that he like persons neuter:
"For so long as they're tender,
The question of gender
Is a relative one to a fruiter."

Then they questioned the King of the Cannibals,
If 'twere true that he did it with animals?
"Oh, I boast of the same,
For to say to your shame
That they have far superior genitals.

And they asked the Nippon Mikado,
A monarch well [pinned schooled] in bravado,
If the men of his land
Ever did it by hand,
To which he replied, "Oh my God no!"

Then they paused while the Persian Shah
Tried to settle a bet with the czar,
That the tip of his tool
Was much the less cool -
But neither could reach quite that far.

Then up spoke the Shah of Iran:
"All women from court we must ban.
They haven't the clutch
Or the velvety touch
Of the orotund arsehole of man!"
