Although I’m a life-long reader of limericks, I’ve only been able to write one:
There was a young man from Hastings
His hobby of choice was wine-tastings
He once got so drunk
He stepped on a skunk
And was promptly evicted from Hastings.
He awoke by the side of a river
With a terrible pain in his liver
“No more wine for me!”
He shouted with glee
Henceforth he was alcohol-free.
For some really great limericks check out Peter’s Pondering:

Brilliant.

Limericks are a really odd form of poetry. I like yours.
This one is not mine, and it’s Old.
There was a young man from Darjeeling
Who went on a train up to Ealing
A note on the door
Said don’t spit on the floor
So he carefully spat on the ceiling
You make me smile. 😊💖💖💖

I’ve always loved limericks! Yours is hilarious! I can’t stop laughing. That young man was very accommodating 😀

I like that yours goes on for a second verse, that’s certainly a greater challenge. Alas the one I made up a few years ago is only one verse long but goes as follows:
There was an old lady from Leicester
Who had an excessive amount of chest hair
So she whipped out some wax
And tried to relax
While she grimaced and groaned until bare.

These are fun!! I love trying my hand at limericks myself! One of them got me banned from a FB group for a whole week. All I can say is, the admin must’ve had particularly delicate sensibilities! I can’t remember the limerick, except I *can* tell you that the rhyming words were “nappy,” happy,” and “crappy.” They didn’t like “crappy.” Eye roll! 😀

Seriously? Crappy? It’s a good thing you didn’t post the limerick about the young man from Nantucket! 😀

[…] trim. We were gathered to recite limericks that we made up on the spot. As I have only written one limerick to date, I was rather nervous when it came to be my turn. I had no trouble coming up with the first […]
