Limerick Poems
Limerick: There Was A Young Lady Whose Chin
by Edward Lear
There was a Young Lady whose chin,
Resembled the point of a pin;
So she had it made sharp,
And purchased a harp,
And played several tunes with her chin.
Merry and Bright
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Christmas was only a few hours away.
Santa and elves were coming on the sleigh.
The night was filled with fair sights,
'Til the clash with festive lights.
Soon flashing, bright nosed Rudolph, led the way!
Limerick: There Was An Old Lady Of Chertsey
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Lady of Chertsey,
Who made a remarkable curtsey;
She twirled round and round,
Till she sunk underground,
Which distressed all the people of Chertsey.
There Was A Young Lady Whose Eyes
by Edward Lear
There was a young lady whose eyes,
were unique as to colour and size;
When she opened them wide,
people all turned aside,
and started away in surprise.
Limerick: There Was An Old Man Of The Nile,
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man of the Nile,
Who sharpened his nails with a file,
Till he cut out his thumbs,
And said calmly, 'This comes
Of sharpening one's nails with a file!'
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.

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."

proved E equals MC squared.
And so mass decreases

The Truth Beneath the Make-up (A Limerick)
by Graham Ereks
There was once a lady on whom I had a crush
She was crystal fair but never had a good brush
Stripped her of her make-up only to see the real her;
This lady I loved and cherished was but a pig-stir.
Ah, Lord knows I surely needed the inestimable dash!
Limerick
by Pijush Biswas
One bird was singing full mouthed on branch
And it's maxim made all humans dance
Thus days go on, but suddenly came storm
And the branch fell, the maxim had no norm
That she only shout'd, now hasn't chance.
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!
