Limericks
I like limericks. Here's one of mine: There once was a pirate named Greg
Who was very proud of his leg
But he spent a while
With a fierce crocodile
And nowadays walks on a peg. Does anyone else have a good limerick to share? |

All the ones I know are dirty. Probably not appropriate :) |

Re: Limericks
There once was a girl from Japan
Who couldn't get her limericks to scan
They'd start off alright
But try as she might
She couldn't get the last line to rhyme even |

Re: Limericks
There was an old man in Iran
whose poetry would never scan
because,
he said,
"I always try to include as many words in the last line as I possibly can."
(OK, not a true limerick, but nice anyway!) |

Re: Limericks
This is one I came across in a Physics Limerick contest.
There once was a fly on the wall
I wonder why didn't it fall
Because its feet stuck?
Or was it just luck?
Or does gravity miss things so small?

Re: Limericks
Do they really play Polo that much in Boston? (I assume the polo balls and his donkey was what he packed in his car.) And why couldn't he have found a better place for those balls than hanging outside his car? |

Re: Limericks
There once was a man named Bright.
Who traveled much faster than light.
He departed one day.
In a relativistic way.
And arrived on the previous night. |

A puzzle, right here on perplexus,
Kept the puzzlers glued to the nexus.
From where come these ads
that stimulate our 'nads
