    To write a limerick I can
    But my poems don't always scan
    The problem for me
    Is easy to see
    I always try to put as many words in the last line as I can

  • I must now retort
    the last line should be short
    But do not cry
    it was a good try
    of a fine sort

  • When I was training for triathlon I used to write naughty limericks to pass the time on the cycle leg. Some of the towns along the route were Glenmore, Mulgoa, Wallacia, and Luddenham.

    You'll understand my reluctance to publish them if I say that Glenmore rhymes with a lady of uncertain proclivities who enjoyed the company of other women but really liked men more. And Wallacia? It not only rhymes with gacia (a Japanese courtesan) it also rhymes with fellacia. We're not gonna go there. 

    But Luddenham? Well that's clean. Not very clever but quite clean.

    Those scruffy young ladies of Luddenham
    Have gallons of dirty brown blood in 'em. 
    Whenever it rains
    They open their veins
    And shovel great dollops of mud in 'em.

    They say there's no rhyme for orange
    But I just happen to be more ing-
    enious than most
    So if you like my post
    I'l just nail it to the door hinge
