Limericks

There was a young man from Kent
Whose tool was exceedingly bent.
To save himself trouble
He stuffed it in double.
Instead of CUMMING, he WENT ! !


A gorgeous young lady from Norway
Once hung by her heels in the doorway.
She called to her man :
"Get off the divan . . . . .
I think I've discovered one more way" ! !

When Tim and I to Brisbane went
we met three ladies, cheap to rent.
They were three and we were two
so I booked one and Tim booked two.

...es wettete ein Mann auf den Azoren
sich ein Loch in den Schädel zu bohren,
und zwar ganz ohne Schmerzen
bis hinunter zum Herzen!
...er hat die Wette verloren!


Es saßen am Ufer des Indus
drei philosophierende Hindus.
Ihr Problem das war fatal,
denn sie fragten sich voller Qual:
Ist ich es, sind er es ...oder bin du's???

Hi Peter, irgendwie scheint sich Dir die "höhere Philosophie" des Limericks, nämlich das ihn als solchen kennzeichnende Versmass, bisher nicht erschlossen zu haben: A-A-B-B-A ...
...dabei ist es ein Leichtes, Deinen Beitrag doch noch zum Limerick zu ergänzen:

When Tim and I to Brisbane went
we met three ladies, cheap to rent.
They were three and we were two
so I booked one and Tim booked two
and best of all they charged no cent.

Im Original:
A poet's contest on the word "Timbuctoo".
Father Brown tries: "On my way to Timbuctoo I read my bible through and through". Few handclappings, almost no laughter..
John and Tim from down under climbed up the stage and John started this one:
" Tim and I to Brisbane went,
we met three WOMEN with a tent.
So, said I, let's make the choice
between me an you!
I booked one and Timbuctoo!"
Audience - very amused!

There was a young man in Eau Claire,
enjoying his girl on the stairs,
at the forty-fourth stroke,
the bannister broke,
and he finished her off in mid-air.
