View Full Version : Limericks
Anyone like limericks?
One of my books on the subject gives this definition:
The limerick's an art form complex,
Whose contents run chiefly to sex.
It's famous for virgins,
And masculine urgin's,
And vulgar erotic effects.
This particular book, The Lure of the Limerick, by W. S. Baring-Gould, includes what has been called "the best limerick of all", in the opinion of English novelist Arnold Bennett.
Formally regarded as "unprintable", it would now probably be regarded as "kids' stuff".

A fairly clean one:
The drunkards of merry Dunleer
See more than pink rats,people fear.
Green rabbits, blue bats,
And six legged cats,
Leap out of their Guinness and beer.
And:
There was a young rose of Tralee,
Who let herself go on a spree.
Now she writes to the papers,
Condemning such capers,
And signs herself,"Mother of Three."

There once were two cats of Kilkenny,
Each thought there was one cat too many,
So they fought and they fit,
And they scratched and they bit,
Till, excepting their nails
And the tips of their tails,
Insteads of two cats, there weren't any.

I wrote these on the spur of the moment, and are not meant to be insulting. Just humorous:
hw is a nudist who likes a good joke
She sounds like a regular folk.
But if you pick on her Prez.
She just casually says,
"He ain't the one who does dope!"
Jon-Marc is happy to report
He's retired and living on a resort
So happy is he
He tells us with glee
Now all he needs is a consort!
Stu is our resident textile
He showed up and stayed for a while
We argued that he
should be more like we
And shed like a 'lil reptile.

Mr. Greenman's our resident poet.
At least, he would like us to know it.
But he's short of Shakespeare
And the great Edward Lear;
If he has better work, let him show it!
(Just teasing, R.L. Very nice!)

I'll throw my hat in the ring...
Regarding the finding of a mate
Let me just summarily reiterate
God said it, "Woman and man"
Not Adam and Steve, or Mary and Ann.
Its truth, though some believe it too late.
My wife said to me
"Honey, let's make three"
So we hopped in the sack
Where I broke my back
Now my wife has to baby me!
I once tried to marry a gal
Who had her heart set on my pal
But try as she might,
He ignored her plight
'Cause he only had eyes for Hal!
Ok guys...this is not really a limerick, but along the lines of the Greenman post. This was originally posted 4-16-03 by ercNY:
I sit down everyday,
And read the forums at INA.
I try to sort the fact from fiction,
Its hard to contol INA addiction.
From Nude Runs to politics,
You've got suntied, and a guy named Rik.
We don't always agree,
Except... we are all clothes free!
HW, she hears voices in her head,
And Gamblefish,HE hears what they said.
Love us or not, you must admit,
We will be here to give you sh*t.
To keep us in line, there's Corky and Bart,
Arron and Cory all do their part.
Some of the BEST folks I've ever met,
And the best sight on the net.
So join in, have fun for the day,
Soon YOU will be addicted to I.N.A
Take off your clothes, and stay a while,
You are always guaranteed a smile!!!

I think ercNY should write some more...what do you think? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
More nudist ones please! Here are three from the Late D.R. Benson I wish I knew if he had done more or if others have cause I think these ones are great!
Nate
***
The puritan often will brood
On how horrid it is to be nude;
The absence of clothing
He views with such loathing
That the naked truth strikes him as lewd.
***
I simply can't understand
Why swimsuits are in such demand,
They?re soggy and damp,
Bind like a clamp,
And hold about three pounds of sand!!
***
It was highly unseemly of God
To have made us so vulgarly odd;
Were He truly refined
He'd have surely designed
Us a more tasteful (G-rated) bod.
There is a young fellow named Stu,
Who of nudism hasn't a clue.
Because he feels shame,
At his own earthly frame,
He thinks others should be ashamed too!
I know this doesn't really reflect your attitude, Stu.
Just "Rex's little joke", or poetic license, if you prefer.

not bad Rex,,,not bad at all /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif
A young man from Upstate N.Y.
Says that he is a "great outdoors" guy.
He's rated 5 star,
Loves to nude-drive his car,
And prob'ly hates wearing a tie!

The thing I've wanted the most,
Is to make at least one limerick post.
The message I'm adding,
Gives my number a padding,
But if anyone finks, I'm toast!

I think I must shut down my motor,
That connects me to this board-er,
'Cause these limerick lines
Which some think so fine,
Make me hold my nose for the odor!
There once was a Man named Green
Who truly loved Halloween
He liked playing jokes
With the INA folks
And once thought hw was a teen! /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

There?s a famous Aussie nudist called Rex
Whose jokes are not from the text
So good a joke did he poke
That our legs did he rope
Cause the ?truth? turned out to be spoof

I note Jon-Marc the top poster
Whose posts fly via roller coaster
Now lives at Lake Turtle
His mind is so fertile
His wisdom the mark of an elder.
JAMES /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
Bean counter, and farmer, is James,
Quick to praise everyone, never blames,
Spends his time skinny dipping,
Hunter Valley wine sipping,
And indulging in rhyming word games!
There is an Austrailian named Rex
Whose name we all know rhymes with Sex
He is clever and witty
Dah ta dah dah da *itty
And dah dot dot dah dahs dot da checks
Ok OK....Seeing it in print, it was really bad...I promise ...No more limericks from me... /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Some scholars still knowingly say
Good things about Edouard Manet.
But that lunch with things strewed
And men clothed with girl nude!
Such a beast would be banned in our day.

Hunter Valley is the place to be nude
It may be thought to be rude
Butt naked were one of a kind
The happy and tipsy don?t mind
a sip of fine wine in the raw
JAMES /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
P.S. The Hunter Valley produces some of the best Chardonnay & Semillon in the world - TRY SOME
On the art theme:
Whilst Titian was mixing rose madder,
His model reclined on a ladder,
Her reclining position,
Suggested coition,
So he leapt up the ladder, and 'ad 'er!
Oh My Rex..You are clever /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
I love your comments, outdoorbare,
Your words come through so sweet and rare,
Just goes to show,
You're in the know,
That compliments get you EVERYWHERE!
