There once was a carnivorous horse, Who dined on babies and worse, A dragon did him in, When he dined on her kin, So the dragon made him the main course. ...Of course...

The last ever heard of that thief, a nix coaxed him down to her reef to spend all his whiles with diminishing smiles till death finally brought him relief.

That thief for whom life was a fever to endure or let pass like a reaver in the castle of time with its walls of sublime to be glimpsed while we slimp back to never.

here's a dirty one
There once was a man in a limmerick who decided he needed a slimmer chick so he left his old lady and found a new baby but regretted it when she showed him her (censored)

Before this thread I wasn't so clever, I'd never tried writing a limerick ever, I grew wise to the trick, And picked it up quick, And now my wife wishes I'd never! My fav so far! This is so sweet, I can see the expression on Mrs. PD's face, I would bet that she couldn't keep from laughing although she surely tried.

That thief once surrounded by pirates didn’t see a good chance to kick their butts. He sweet-talked those blokes, got them drunk and told jokes, then proceeded to a series of throat cuts.

The once was a mighty fine sailor, Who turned out to be a terrible failure, Who wondered the seas, From A to the Z's, Inexplicably he ended up a jailer.

There once was a man from Nantucket, Who ate all is meals from a bucket, He ate and he ate, In between inane spates, Until all he could do was to, 'Chuck-it'

There once was a curious frog Who sat by a pond on a log And, to see what resulted, In the pond catapulted With a water-noise heard round the bog.

There once was a girl named Lucille, had a lust she could never full-fill. Til one day she heard, of a hangout for nerds; you can find her at Ruins of Murkhill. For some reason the idea of increasing everyone's post count and making it fun popped into my skull. Bet you thought it was gonna be naughty, huh? *deep breath in* NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

A ogre, two trolls and a nurse. Once took a ride in a hearse, The trolls were so droll, They stopped for a gnoll, And the ogre made off with her purse. *deep breath out* ... maybe?

Thought people might like to see this thread which was from almost four years ago. I was the Admin at the time. Feel free to contribute.

A fine and famous example of the trivial / nonsensical limerick by Edward Lear: Edward Lear was the very first limerick writer I ever read, back in a children's book of some kind in the 1960s when I was 7 or 8. Have you tried writing a limerick hengest?

( The Perilous Dreamer I hereby answer late) I composed this 9 years ago as part of a game with a friend. She assigned me the first line and I had to go from there. I felt like maybe I had inspiration from somewhere or even stole part of it, but maybe that is a trick of memory. (Slight edit from the version I remember) Beware of the clerics of Shar, for their dinners are truly bizarre: they begin with a muffin, then swallow a puffin, and what's for dessert, now? YOU are.

A fine and famous example of the trivial / nonsensical limerick by Edward Lear: There was an old man with a beard, A funny old man with a beard He had a big beard A great big old beard That amusing old man with a beard. Wikipedia attributes this parody (?) of Lear to John Clarke. I think Lear would have loved this. If you could show a derivate work to a long-dead not-that-famous author, I might choose to show this one to Edward Lear.

Have an Exalt for this one. The parody was cute too, but this one is great!
