A canner exceedingly canny

One morning remarked to his granny

A canner can can

Anything that he can

But a canner can’t can a can, can he?

A disgusting old man from La Jolla

Has a habit that’s sure to anolla.

Before telling a joke

He’ll give you a poke,

And remark, “This’ll really destrolla.”

Some people say that a limerick

Is some kind of anonymous gimmerick

A Lear or a Nash

May own up to this trash

But never a Wordsworth, a Herrick or Himmerick

A wonderful bird is the Pelican.

His beak can hold more than his belly can.

He can hold in his beak

Enough food for a week !

But I’ll be darned if I know how the hellican ?

A man called Fiddle, you see,

Was a student of divinity.

“When I graduate

‘Twill be my poor fate

To  be known as Fiddle D.D.!”

Petite and demure at the stand,

Mrs. Bobbit, she raises her hand

And swears on the Good book

That the part she took

Left her husband a much better man…

There was a young man from Lenore,

Whose mouth was as wide as a door.

While attempting to grin,

He slipped and fell in,

 And laid inside out on the floor.

There once was agirl named O’Neil

Who went up on the great ferris wheel

But when half way round

She looked at the ground

And it cost her an eighty cent meal

Roses can be sometimes Red 

And Violets are generally Blue

For it’s not in the Rhyming

But all in the Timing

That makes a dumb Limerick True

There was a young man from the Clyde

Who fell down a sewer and died

Along came his brother,

Who fell down another

And now they’re interred side by side !
