The limerick is furtive and mean;

You must keep her in close quarantine,

Or she sneaks to the slums

And promptly becomes

Disorderly, drunk, and obscene.

-- Morris Bishop

To be a true Wordsmith in verse

May land you in court or much worse

A hospital ward

Still, you'll never be bored,

At least you might chat up a nurse!

Steve Mo55

I just made that up, which only goes to prove that:-

The limerick packs laughs anatomical

In space that is quite economical.

But the good ones I've seen

So seldom are clean

And the clean ones so seldom are comical

(Anon)

Now that guy Anon wrote a load of brilliant stuff. If I was a tenth as good as him I could have made a fortune. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />

Florist's manager said with a sneer

"We've just robbed Derby of thirty grand!

They've just bought Hinton off us!"

I bet he didn't sign the Beatles either!

Maybe this is a clue as to why

in 1971-72

Derby won the league

Whilst the Reds were relegated.

Apparently this classes as poetry nowadays!

It doesn't rhyme, it doesn't scan, and it doesn't go anywhere.

Perhaps that's why I never gave up the day job!

Nottingham Forest may be ****

But as DERBY fans, we know it

There's no need to take the p*ss

The poor sods have to live with this.

One day they may win the game

And Derby will not feel the same

But until that day comes along

The DERBY fans will sing this song

10 MEN, WE ONLY HAD 10 MEN.
