    A boy stood on a burning deck.
    Eating a threepenny Walls .
    He dropped a bit .
    Upon his leg.
    And paralysed his Balls .......

    A threepenny Wall's was an icecream cone of yesteryear in my grand parents day....

    There once was a man from Nantucket
    Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
        But his daughter, named Nan,
        Ran away with a man
    And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

    The one I know about the man from Nantucket is much raunchier and would fit the Limerick Song in the video.

    I think all limericks start with "There once was a man from Nantucket."

    I listened to a few seconds of the Limerick Song video.  Oh my.............

    It got deleted by the mods. But only one starts with, "There once was a man from Nantucket." One starts with, "There once was a man from Mass." and another starts with, "There was a young woman named Alice."

  • I say, what's the use of a limerick question if the naughty ones aren't allowed? That's the whole point of limericks--their taboo-breaking is their appeal.

    Oh well, since my answer was deleted, I'll post an amusing meta-limerick:

    The limerick packs laughs anatomical
    Into space that is quite economical.
    But the good ones I've seen
    So seldom are clean
    And the clean ones so seldom are comical

    There once was a lady from France
    Who didn't know how to sing or dance
    So she hired a teacher who was an ex-preacher...
    and got crucified on his lance
