The rodeo clown ran amok
Thinking he needed more pluck
Thinking he'd find some behind the cow barn
He looked at the chickens not meaning to harm
Plucking a cluster of hens kept him busy
And all the pluck was making him dizzy
For the plucking he got to stop running amok
Carried him to the worst part of town.
There was a nun gone bad they say
There was a nun gone bad they say
Who decided to run away
With a bald-headed monk
But their plans were all sunk
There was a nun gone bad they say
Who decided to run away
With a bald-headed monk
But their plans were all sunk
when the monk, who'd have thunk, turned out gay
a young boy called ben had the hiccups
a young boy called ben had the hiccups
When he heard a man shout "It's a stick-up!"
a young boy called ben had the hiccups
When he heard a man shout "It's a stick-up!"
they were cured in flash
he ran off with the cash
a young boy called ben had the hiccups
When he heard a man shout "It's a stick-up!"
they were cured in flash
he ran off with the cash
And was last seen speeding off in a pickup.

It's believed he's the Good Humor man
<<Ice cream vendor, if that doesn't translate across the Atlantic.>>
It's believed he's the Good Humor man
Doing the best that he possibly can,
Selling sweet licks
On wooden sticks.
But it turned out to be a scam.
What he was actually selling
What he was actually selling
Involved, sadly, show-and-telling
What he was actually selling
and tis gruesome, the telling
was something inexpressibly vile
What he was actually selling
Involved, sadly, show-and-telling
he'd show you his wares
and tell you "it scares
the ladies when it begins swelling"
they say now he's locked behind bars
is that the next line? it rhymes
they say now he's locked behind bars
Hahahahahahahahahars
Were heard. It is said
He went clean off his head
They say now he's locked behind bars.
"Hahahahahahahahahars!"
Were heard. It is said
He went clean off his head.
He'll be out with the help of rock stars.

A benefit concert is planned
A benefit concert is planned
With a famous American band
The tickets are hot
But believe it or now
A benefit concert is planned
With a famous American band
The tickets are hot
But believe it or not
They need a few buckets of sand
The sprinkler system is broke
The sprinkler system is broke
When it's on, it only blows smoke
The sprinkler system is broke
When it's on, it only blows smoke
A matter of the greatest concern
Because all manner of items could burn
And I'm here to say that that's no joke
----------------------------------------------------
Summer is just 'round the bend
A matter of the greatest concern
Because all manner of items could burn
And I'm here to say that that's no joke
Leave the sprinkler off and leave it to soak
Get back inside to clean the dishes
Not too many limericks in the INBOX today.
For those not familiar with the limerick form of short poem, read back a few pages. It should become clear.
There are other threads for creative writing and poetry of all sorts. This here am the limerick thread.
