Limericks

There was a young woman named Lynne
Who was very very thin
That when she essayed
To drink lemonade
She slid down the straw and fell in.

Don't bother. 99% of people who have ever written a "limerick" don't know what a limerick actually is - the closest most of them come is "five lines, aabba" - and 50% get ticked off when you tell them that they don't.

I found a board with 64 squares
And asked a friend what it was
She said "I'm not sure
But if I weren't so pure
I'd hit you with it right on your head".

Dear Richard he tried with such zest
To teach scansion that was just the best
But he was too pedantic
His friends soon went frantic
And considered him an anapest

Congratulations, one that scans! You must be the one in a hundred. Most people here wouldn't recognise a dactylos if it poked them in the eye.

When writing a good Limerick
You must make the stress patterns slick
But when someone else tries
If you must criticise
Then be gentle or else you're a.....

Sorry can't think of the last word for that one.

Only joking, by the way

There was once a priest and a nun
Who decided to indulge in some fun.
The priest dropped his pants
and then cried at her rants
As she shouted,"That aint a big gun 😠!"

There once was a man from Rome
Who came over and wouldn't go home
As hard as we tried
I even offered a ride
Still he refused to leave us alone.
