The first Lim'rick writer, Ed. Lear
Wrote nothing so vulgar, I fear.
Good fun was his aim
Which brought him great fame
So please don't talk out of your rear.

If you work your way into the past
And browse through the limerick's cast,
You'll see that old Lear
Wasn't first-born in here,
Though he was the first one to last.

Lear may the first limericks have versed
But these days his style does seem cursed.
His first four are fine
But the man's final line
Seems simply to echo the first.

This Kaiser fellow named Ray,
Bestowed the tip of the day:
* Lim'ricks aren't clean...
They should be obscene.*
To which we said: "Fuckin' *A*".

There once was a poster named Ray,
Who on lim'ricks was oft' known to say:
"Unless they are blue
They cannot be true"

Go suck on your dick
(tain't really a trick
For an uptight self-fucker like you).


Sue Mitchell, in response to the following statements by Ray Kaiser : 'It seems that none of you know the proper definition of the limerick. It is at least ribald and preferably obscene, everything else is secondary. 5 lines and an aabba rhyme scheme are nice as long as they don't interfere with the content.' 2nd stanza by Niels Knoop, who quoted Lear's Gretna limerick; 3rd by Stan Armstrong 4th by Frank 5th and 6th by Joe Long,

And if you think about it, the same was true of many of the very same early musicians we venerate, the ones who depended on noble patronage. If they didn't please, they were at best paid less than a pleasing performer, and at worst released from service." Index

Mary wrote a "limerick",
Which was a crashing bore.
Its feet, they were not anapest.
Its lines were only four.


Not a limerick - but that's the point. By Philip Delaquess who gave the following good definition: A limerick is five-line poem, with rhyme scheme AABBA, in which the A lines contain three anapests, and the B lines contain two. Let us examine this definition in some detail. Nothing is said about the subject matter. Limericks are very often suggestive, racy, obscene or scatological, but they are not required to be. By "ryhme scheme AABBA", I mean that the first, second and fifth lines all rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines rhyme with each other, but not with the first second and fifth. An anapest is a group three syllables (a "foot") in which the accent falls on the last one: ba ba BUM. If you combine the rhyme with the rhythm, you get the following schematic, which should be instantly recognizable: Schematic Example --------- ------- di di DA di di DA di di DAY if inSIDE of a CIRcle a LINE,/ di di DA di di DA di di DAY meets the CENter and GOES spine/ to SPINE, di di DA di di BEE and the LINE has length D/ di di DA di di BEE the cirCUMfrence would BE/ di di DA di di DA di di DAY d times THREE point one FOUR one five NINE. Very often, a syllable will be borrowed from the beginning of a line and pasted onto the end of the previous line. Schematic Example --------- ------- di DA di di DA di di DA day there WAS a young MAN from nanTUCKet,/ di DA di di DA di di DA day whose PRICK was so LONG he could SUCK it. / [You know the rest]. And sometimes, a syllable will be left out entirely, especially at a comma or period, or some other place where the rhythm of natural speach permits a short pause. there WAS a young FELlow from KENT, [syllable missing here]/ whose PRICK in the MIDdle was BENT. [and here]/ to SAVE himself TROUble,/ he PUT it in DOUble,/ so RAther then COMing, he WENT. But what remains inviolate, and is absolutely critical to the limerick form, is the insistant, unvarying, toe-tapping, triplet rhythm. Make no mistake, there ARE forms of poetry in which the rhyme and rhythm do not matter, but the limerick is most emphatically NOT one of them. The fun is in trying to fit a grammatically correct expression of a compelling idea into the rigid formal framework. Copyright (©) 1995 by Philip Delaquess.

There once was a development called Limerick,
Where homes, when for sale, sold very quick.
With its manicured grass,
Subtle touches of class,
If you passed on buying one, you must feel sick!

They were built by a developer called Liddicoat,
Who, from Pierre du Pont Hayward got a note,
To develop the land,
That once belonged to his clan,
But to keep the appearance looking oh-so-remote.

Liddycoat built not one, but forty.
With identical trim, they looked sporty!
Keeping the look all the same,
The new neighborhood found fame,
Among the Morans, the Bakers and Dohertys.

The Levitts' neighbors - the Burnses next door 
Knew house-hunting could be a chore.
She liked the home from first bound,
He soon too came around,
Dropping hopes for a house at the shore.

Limerick homes are all custom inside.
Spacious hallways are airy and wide.
Master bedrooms?  There are two.
Fireplaces with flues.
Are the bedrooms in front?  You decide.

Prices of Limerick town houses are steep.
To live here isn't real cheap.
Acerage is oh-point-one-seven,
For a small slice of heaven.
If you can live here, you're on top of the heap.

A civic association?  Not around.
Still good will and friendship abound.
With Christmas parties each year,
And a fall fest, it's clear
That complaints are a seldom heard sound.

They say more construction is slated,
But the plans are slightly belated.
Neighbors all seem to agree
It will be a neat sight to see,
The entire development sated.



P May 94, Harry Themal discovered a limerick strewn article in The News Journal; here are the verses.The article is about a residential development named Limerick near Wilmington DE. Index

Though the Gospels do tell us a lot About Christ there is much they forgot: Did some lovely miss Ever give Him a kiss, Or was Judas the best that he got? What did Jesus do while he was growing? (I'll skip THAT part without even slowing!) Did He get some ass From some willing young lass Or go to the Cross never knowing? Well, this subject has some people pissed Just one thought before it's dismissed: Besides walking on water Had He son or a daughter? (His mid-life is shrouded in mist) As a hybrid, was Jesus Christ sterile? As a man, was he robust and virile? Did his Dad's DNA Ever come into play For a third generation referral? And if so, maybe you (even me!) Might belong on God's own family tree Perhaps you Devout Can figure this out, I admit it's a bit much for me It's a fact that our mother's grandmothers At some point relate to all others Despite all our quibblings We're really all siblings Merry Christmas, dear Sisters and Brothers!

A fat acrobat named Louise,
Was arrested while on a trapeeze,
For daring to bare
Her rump in the air
And floating spare parts in the breeze.

The cop then said to Louise,
"You're a health hazard Ma'm, if you freeze
Folks not only will stare
At your pink derriere,
You'll fall on the crowd if you sneeze." 

Louise then said to the Rozzer,
"You're causing a heck of a bozzer
It would have been better
If after he met her,
Your muzzer had married your fozzer" 

When asked, his muzzer then said,
'Young rozzer, your fozzer and I were too wed,
Just not to each uzzer'
Continued his muzzer,
'I married his bruzzer instead'

So you see, my sweet little cop,
Your fozzer's not really your Pop,
No, that is anuzzer,
Indeed it's his bruzzer,
Who works at the Fish and Chips shop.'

'There he wraps things both greasy and fishy,
Some hard as a rock and some squishy,
But it ain't no joke
That I still find the bloke,
To be, might I say, rahther dishy'

The cop then replied to Louise,
"You're a fine one to talk, if you please,
From what you do
It is seen to be true
That your ancestors swung from the trees.

While at the station, Louise
Did what she could to please
A handsome young cop,
By removing her top,
But he'd have none of her sleaze.

A sergeant, a lecherous old coot,
Said - with a copply salute -
'Lady, don't stop
With removing your top,
Not when your bottom's so cute'

The Magistrate ruled, with a sneeze, 
That the Fat Lady Aerialist, Louise,
Had disgraced her profession,
And taught her a lesson,
Three months in the jug, if you please.

Louise's shyster jumped up like a shot,
"You can't do that, just right on the spot,
I demand, sir, of you
Twelve MEN (heh, heh) good and true,
To decide if she's guilty or not."

Said the jury, quite taken by storm
By her milky, magnificent form,
"Your Honor, please work us
While we're at the circus,
We think we should watch her perform."

Louise chose her costume with care,
Selecting for something to wear
A diaphanous thing
Made of sequins and string,
That made it appear she was bare.

She juggled three melons between
Breasts larger than any they'd seen,
They'd find it hard tellin'
A breast from a melon,
Had not all the melons been green.

Below her the jury observes,
Impressed by the steel of her nerves,
They gasp as she hung
From the bar by her tongue,
While eating strawberry preserves.

She then licked her lips (that was dumb),
And with a cry of "Yum yum yum yum yum",
She lost hold of the bar
And fell ever so far,
To land in the circus' bass drum.

She remounted her ladder quite soon, 
Climbing high as they struck up a tune,
Hearing people rejoice
At the bandleader's choice:
"By the Light of the Silvery Moon".

An enormous gorilla named Fletcher
Was employed as the acrobat's catcher,
But his strength, although great,
Was no match for her weight,
And they carried him out on a stretcher.

But that's really not what went wrong,
The beast heard the band's happy song,
And the poor, dumb thing swooned
Upon being mooned,
And fell like a lovesick King Kong.

That fat acrobat named Louise,
She liked to go on the trapeeze,
Then a big scary bear
Bit her rump in the air,
And the spare parts went flying to Belize.

Then a cable looped into a crimp,
And she fell and developed a limp,
So she made a concession,
As a part-time profession,
She would hire herself out as a blimp.

Breathing helium, Louise observes
She can fly, so she swoops and she swerves,
Although feeling abused
Being roundly accused,
Of depleting strategic reserves.

Primates, the he's and the she's,
Evolved (climbing down from the trees)
To the highest life form,
Pray tell, what is the norm?
Why, that fat acrobat named Louise.
