Limerick Poems
#limerick
Limerick poems, humorous and cheeky five line verses with a strict AABBA rhyme scheme. The first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme. A limerick is a folk poetry form popular in the 19th century, typically naughty or obscene, and setting out to violate taboos.
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!

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!

brokentitanium
I have a friend, brokentitanium,
with hair like a coral geranium.
She writes, plays and sings,
and much happiness brings.
She's so well endowed in her cranium.
Brains AND beauty!
The most gorgeous man on DUP
has just paid a visit to me!
His hair's long and wavy;
his eyes blue (not navy);
he also writes great poetry!

I just couldn't wait to meet Leo!
I took him along to see Theo.
He gave us a hand
with our rock 'n' roll band—
once a duo, we've now formed a trio!
S-m-sawyer
I arranged to meet one S-m-Sawyer
After he'd finished up with his lawyer.
We'd brought with us brunch,
which then morphed into lunch
as we chatted and ate in the foyer.

Amy
I met lovely Amy online
And we've always got along fine.
She home schools her four -
I'm simply in awe -
I don't think I'd like to teach mine!
Steve
Steve's helpful and friendly- it's true.
In the midst of the hullabaloo,
He'll be playing Just Dance
If you give him a chance,
But directions? Nope, not a clue!
Galen
He leaves heartening words to be read,
Often written when I am in bed.
With whimsy unlimited
(When he's uninhibited),
The author? My dear Galenred!

LimerElla
There once was a student named Ella
moving house with a girl and two fellas
They needed a van
so I said “yes I can”
and that started me on this novella
They departed a two storey flat
to move in with a boy and a cat
There were so many stairs
I’m now having nightmares
about falling and going kersplat
You might wonder why I’d be at peace
lugging boxes all day without cease
Though the work was unpaid
I was pleased to give aid
for this Ella is my darling niece
moving house with a girl and two fellas
They needed a van
so I said “yes I can”
and that started me on this novella
They departed a two storey flat
to move in with a boy and a cat
There were so many stairs
I’m now having nightmares
about falling and going kersplat
You might wonder why I’d be at peace
lugging boxes all day without cease
Though the work was unpaid
I was pleased to give aid
for this Ella is my darling niece

The young lady from Charlestown
There was a young lady of Charlestown
in love, was always being let down
but down by the harbour
a boy raised her ardour
but is she buying a white wedding gown?

Inventing the limerick
There once was a poet named Lear
that's Edward to make it quite clear
invented a style
a comical file
now so admired and revered

the young man from Berlin
There was a young man from Berlin
who boxed with a fighter named JIM
received a cut eye
gave a mighty shy
and KOed the ref on the chin

I Made Love to a Girl Named Bonita
I made love to a girl named Bonita,
Then she found out about Margarita.
They both were so fine.
Two sips of fine wine,
I drank both and said, “Now, I'll see ya.”

There was a young man from Seville (Limerick)
There was a young man from Seville
who swallowed some bright orange peel
his tummy it swelled
the toilet it held
his stool, was a marmalade thrill

There once was a nazi Ernst Rohm
Who conducted his evils with aplomb
The fact he was gay
Held very little sway
As his man-dates went down like a bomb
