Sean, Not Unshorn (Limerick)
There once was a young man
named Sean
Who once slept
from dusk, to dawn
He had had
lots of fun
With Sambuka,
and rum
And met someone
that gave him the horn!!

Something Surely Afoot?
There once was an Abominable Snowman from Brighton
Its tourists it tried to enlighten
It got covered in confetti
Then mistaken for a Yeti
Its Big Foot is the thing that did frighten!

No Balls
There once was a lady of the old town
Her bar billiards, caused many to frown
She kept hitting the sticks
No points did she nick
As she had no balls to put down

Her Name Happens To Be Lucy Figg
Her name happens to be Lucy Figg
who hopes to land a job in some big
time company somewhere
but they all would not care
because who wants to hire this one pig.

Dry straw piled high
On a horse-drawn wagon
The mare was asleep
Dreaming of clover

"There's A Bear In The Park?"
There was a young Art In The Park
Whose bite, was Worse than it's bark!
One day on the green
A life model was seen
Declaring "It's only for a bit of a lark!"

A mathematical interlude in three parts
i - LUCKY FOR SOME
Seventy-seven
divided by eleven:
forty-nine's square root.
ii - A PRIME NUMBER EQUAL TO THE SUM OF FOUR CONSECUTIVE, SMALLER PRIMES
Take a dozen, a trio and quintet;
multiply them to see what you get.
Then add on a seven,
divide by eleven:
a sum of four primes! Got it yet?
iii - VIVIDLY NUMERICAL
Take the numerals V, I and V;
add them up and then take away three.
Next, this number gets squared,
and then quartered (or shared);
the result's...

Placebo affected
If I conversate, then I talk too much
Feelings I'll throw up if I dont speak up
A flaw in this mind soup dispenser
By broke spout, my thought's surrender
Feelings I'll throw up if I dont speak up
A flaw in this mind soup dispenser
By broke spout, my thought's surrender

Bullimerick
There once was a bull named Mary
He liked his heifers hairy
But all their teats
Were shaved and neat
Which made him rather wary

Shopping in 1988
A chap strolled into Vancouver Mall
for there was the love into which he would fall.
He met her in the frame shop
and what he saw made his jaw drop...
since her frame was the finest of all.

Ant I Thesis!
I once knew an ant, called Brilli
Who was born, it is said, in Caerphilly
She found it a squeeze
When she got cheese on her knees
Brilli Ant was actually quite silly

The place where limericks go to die*
Honoria
In the underground kingdom called Moria,
I first came across this great warrior.
Her weapon? The pen—
it can pierce beasts and men.
Her name? It's the lovely Honoria!
Her
I gathered up Mary and K,
and we all headed out to the bay.
A trio of gingers
as stealthy as ninjas,
that's something not seen every day!
Cipher_O
In the heart of the deep underground,
a mystical poet is found.
His words are quite few,
but such meaning shines through;
he always...
