The following anonymous limerick is to be found in Wikipedia's entry on the limerick as poetry:
The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space which is quite economical
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean
And the clean ones so seldom are comical
I don't necessarily agree, but many of the saucy ones are funny, although most would not qualify for an airing on the BBC. Otherwise serious writers, such as George Bernard Shaw thought that clean limericks were generally rather dull. Be warned, some of the ones which follow are definitely saucy, but, at the same time, funny.
Isaac Asimov, when not concocting laws for robots, wrote dirty (and funny) limericks. Here is one from his book "Lecherous Limericks":
There was a sweet girl of Decatur
Who went to sea on a freighter
She was screwed by the master
An utter disaster
But the crew all made up for it later
I like this one, source unknown, though often quoted:
There was a young girl of Cape Cod
Who thought babies were fashioned by God
But 'twas not the Almighty
Who hitched up her nightie
'Twas Roger the lodger, the sod
This one is politically incorrect, but it sort of illustrates Mendel's first law:
There was a young lady called Starkey
Who had an affair with a darkie
The result of her sins
Was quadruplets not twins
One black, one white and two khaki
And finally, the first from AngelFire, and the second from me (do your own translation):
A wanton young lady from Wimley
Reproached for not acting quite primly
Said, "Heavens above!
I know sex isn't love,
But it's such an entrancing facsimile."
I knew it would just be my luck
At the end of our ultimate (activity often conducted in bed)
For her chap to appear
Full of whisky and cheer
With my (male appendage) irretrievably stuck
There was a young lady from Ealing
ReplyDeleteWho had a peculiar feeling.
She lay on her back
And opened her crack,
And pissed all over the ceiling.
There was a young plumber from Dee
ReplyDeleteWho was plumbing a girl by the sea,
Said she 'Stop your plumbing
I can hear someone coming!'
'I know' said the plumber,
'it's me!"
There was a young girl from Tottenham
ReplyDeleteWho had no manners, or else she'd fogotten 'em;
One day at the vicar's she tore off her knickers,
Because, as she said, she felt hot in 'em.
There once was a man named Raoul, who noticed red spots on his tool, so he went to the doc, who examined his cock and said wipe off the lipstick you fool.
ReplyDeleteThere once was a man from Peru, who fell asleep in a canoe, while dreaming of Venus he played with his penis, and woke up covered in goo.
ReplyDeleteJack and Jill went up the hill so Jack could get some candy, but Jack got a shock with a mouthful of cock cause Jills real name was Andy
ReplyDeleteOld Abe Lincoln was a good ole man, jumped out the window with his dick in his hand, said to the ladies "just doing my duty" so lift up those dresses and show me some booty.
ReplyDeleteThis is the story of a man named Jed, who took Ellie May and threw her on the bed, he pulled down his zipper and yanked on his worm.... and out from the worm came a bubblin sperm.
