In honor of Amppax, who suggested it:

There once was a guy named Amppax
Who delighted in knowing fun facts
So when his leisure he took
He opened his book
And philosophical began to wax.

there once was a thread about limericks
begun due to pain from haiku licks
i started to rhyme
but found not the time
so i will return to my old tricks

Limericks are hard to compose
With each moment, my frustration grows
But with five, seven, five
A haiku comes alive
So, I'm done with this thread, I suppose.

Go easy on poor old jack
Many trades is a juggling act
i bet he is str8 as an arrow
the line he walks very narrow
This we all must walk true,but don't let missing the mark sometimes drive us to hell ooo.

Thanks Slappo :)

Now, this, too, is not a true limerick -
The class of your error was metric;
Your pros'dy's askew,
You'd best start anew
So you don't come off as such a dipstick.

my all time favorite lymeric,possibly because it's the only one i remember by heart.

There once was a man from Sparta...
Whom was such a magnificent farta...
On the strength of one bean..
He would fluffy air extraction God save the queen...
And beethovens moonlight sonata. ROFL

there once was a man from nantucket
who kept his false teeth in a bucket
he went shopping one day
saw the price of beef to pay
so he bought a chicken to pluck it

There once was a man from Gorem
Had a pair of tight pantaloons and he wore 'em
When he bowed with a grin
A draft of air rushed in
And he knew by the sound that he tore 'em
