I would love to hear some of your original limericks!
There once was a poetry forum where I posted a limerick poem It was so very silly it meant nothing really but I hope it inspired more'm
A reader sent these to me-
There was an old girl called Eileen who wanted to dress like the Queen. Oxfam never sold things in ermine and gold but their second-hand clothes are quite clean.
There was a young lady from Ely who was ever so nice, she was really. She fell for young Mike on his new motor bike and each day now, her heart does a 'wheely'

I wrote limericks for our homemade Valentine's Day cards for my nephews. I got rather silly with them by purposely not rhyming the last line:
There once was a boy name Tyler, Who had a Valentine�s balloon made of mylar. He went into the sky and shouted, �Good-bye!� To his cousins who were too cheap to buy him a gift card from Target, his favorite store.
And...
There once was an uncle named Mal who was so nice, he was everyone�s pal. He liked concerts and cars But not smoking cigars And he was so good at grilling, he always got stuck cooking for the entire family and we wondered if he ever got sick of it.
There once was a boy name Brandon, Who pulled a muscle or was it a tendon? He was still pretty bony and thought it was baloney that his cousins were so cheap they gave him a recycled $15 gift card from ITunes.
Once there was a boy named Ryan, who was Japanese but also Hawaiian He liked beer and cards, and had really big nards. We actually have no way of knowing that but it rhymed so we could be lyin�.
They thought the cards were funny. There were more but you get the picture! Sorry if the nards thing offends.

The thing about Limericks-- they have a tendancy to be a bit off color- its the nature of the beast-- Silly samples Lori!!! I bet your nephews got a kick out of them

Ok, I hope I didn't offend anyone with those silly limericks above. They didn't rhyme and they used tacky words. Sorry. Here's my second attempt:
Try your hand at some limerick fun. It's not hard to write a small one. It may not be funny But it doesn't cost money So no one will want a refund.
Well now, that didn't rhyme well either. Ok, what 'bout this one?
It's St. Paddy's Day, doncha know? So let your fun limericks flow! They do need to rhyme Pretty much every time So raise a glass and give it a go!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!!!

There was an old man from Killarney, Who thought he was really quite funny. To the lassies he would smile and tip his hat, To the gents he would only toss fat.
well...it rhymes.
Happy St. Paddy's Day! May all good blessings come your way!

Uh, Phyllis...your limerick is missing the last line! The final line of a limerick needs to rhyme with the first and second lines!
Gee, what do you call the lines again? There is a term for them, isn't there? Arms? Yikes. My memory is getting worse! Age happens.
