Limerick Poems
Mr. Shyama Prasad
by Pallab Chaudhury
Being in love Mr. Shyama
Was looking like Fujiyama.
By now, he- a cool lover!
No one thinks for ever
He too, had carried magma!

Limerick: There Was An Old Man With A Flute
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man with a flute,
A serpent ran into his boot;
But he played day and night,
Till the serpent took flight,
And avoided that man with a flute.
Limerick:There Was An Old Man With A Beard
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who sat on a horse when he reared;
But they said, 'Never mind!
You will fall off behind,
You propitious Old Man with a beard!'
Limerick: There Was An Old Man With A Beard
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, 'It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!'
Limerick: There Was An Old Man In A Boat
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man in a boat,
Who said, 'I'm afloat! I'm afloat!'
When they said, 'No! you aint!'
He was ready to faint,
That unhappy Old Man in a boat.
Holly
by Joe Cyr
(limerick)
There’s a neighbor of ours who’s named Holly
While her nat’ral demeanor is jolly
Doesn’t really adore
Boats and trailers next door
So equates them to rubbish, by golly
Longboat Key
by Joe Cyr
(limerick)
There’s a merchant from mid-Longboat Key
Where the City Council is quite uppity
“Your sign’s over an easement”
So he cut off in appeasement
Offending inches from his sign - barely three.
New York
by Joe Cyr
(limerick)
There once was a man from New York
Who was quite strange in manners and talk
He stayed out of the mob
By getting a job
Drawing lines around bodies with chalk.
Dylan Thomas
by Mario Odekerken
Dylan Thomas,a poet so grand,
with words like a wave on the sand
His verses would dance,
in a wild,rhythmic trance,
capturing life's beauty unplanned.
Limericks by Michael R. Burch
by Michael R. Burch
These are limericks by Michael R. Burch, along with limerick-like poems and poems written in limerick meter. This limerick collection contains double limericks, a rare triple limerick, and a new version of the double dactyl that I invented, called the "dabble dactyl."
Asstronomical
by Michael R. Burch
Einstein, the frizzy-haired,
proved E equals MC squared.
And so mass decreases
