This isn't an entry but when I first saw this competition and what it's about, I immediately thought of Ringo Starr because both Paul McCartney and John Lennon talked frequently about how he was always cracking everyone up saying malapropisms which he wasn't doing on purpose.  Two of his quotes were  used as titles to their movie  "A Hard Day's Night" and their song written by John called "Tomorrow Never Knows".  Just thought I'd pass that on in case you'd all find it interesting.  Cheers!

Hey, Jenn:
Still working on this... Know what I want, I just can't force the little basturd into the box that is the Limerick's meter.  I'll keep trying...

They once found a gent who had drowned,
To a female dolphin was bound,
For a shrink he had paid
Said, "you need to get layed,
S' where all intensive porpoises are found."

Limerick with Malapropism.
For all intensive porpoises he needs to get "leighed" the Hawaiian kind, would be funny too. double entendre fits right in the comp.

There was an old whore from Nantucket
Was so ugly no one would fuck it
She'd the face of a dog
The voice of a frog
And a cunt like a bill poster's bucket!

Malapropisms, she said,
"She slopped her dripper?" he asked.
No, she demured, demurely
Thats a spoonerism.
And, "I'll use my sassy?'
Uh huh, that is dissonance.
"Why do you dissemble
My every augmentation?"
"Now that" he crowed,
"Is a double malapropism."
