That she was ready to mate,
But her meaning was quite misconstrued.

Did your teacher talk about the rhythm of limericks and the syllable count?
Can you please tell me about it so I can try to do a right limmerick...

There was a young man from New York
Who ate up his pork with a fork
A fellow came by
and slapped his left eye
And he swallowed the fork with the pork.
(turned in to my english class as a freshman in Anchorage HS)
The teach got a giggle anyway.

there was a guy named peter pan
who came from a place called never land
he found the lost boys
and made them his toys
michael jackson was that man

post yours this would be a fun one since i've seen the haiku one on here as well. if this is offensive to anyone i'll have this removed. enjoy.
Ok as a concession to the digital age we live in, I wrote a digital poem (which rhymes). Check it out:

100111011001010100101101
011011011011010100101101
110101110010101001010010
101101010011010100101101
010100110010101001010010
101001110110001001010010

Like it? What did you think?

We have a pretty witty king,
Whose word no man relies on;
He never said a foolish thing,
Nor ever did a wise one.

Though it seems that most of the time,
an amateur's lim'rick's lines rhyme,
there's an expansion
of dubious scansion
by which I mean there is a tendency for the syllable counts of limericks in this thread to deviate from the format for limericks in general, which is bad though not likely a crime.

Rhyme nor syllable count
is important to this clown
so I do as I please
may my limericks rest in peace
for I care not about the syllables that mount

Mary had a little lamb.
The doctor was surprised.
When Old MacDonald had a farm
The doctor nearly died.

At first it seemed all so tricky...
Do's and not do's. All so picky!
I've tried and couldn't do,
But now I ask tou you:
Is this lim'rick right and chicky?

There was a fat clown named Moore
Who tried to upstage Al Gore
He had a few pies and wrote a few lies
And now he's looking for more.

There was a sad prophet named Gore
Who wanted to be a 'Mike Moore'
He failed at school, a professional fool
Who ended up being a bore.
