There was a young man from York,
who slipped and fell on a fork.
A drop of blood,
became a flood
and now he's as lifeless as a cork.

I'm sitting here, thinking: "Allright,
Maybe I'll be able tonight,
But my poor little brain
Is just working in vain
For I still am not able to write"

Paulus, I found this one and thought particularly of you:
Europeanness by Kevin
My Europeanness bothers some Yanks:
I loathe baseball, I don't like Tom Hanks,
And I don't get my kicks
On their Route 66.
Californian wine? Mais non, thanks!
Je suis européen, oui, c'est vrai:
Français, néerlandais et anglais.
Allemand? Oui, aussi,
Et j'adore le chichi
Plus un Saint-Emilion, s'il vous plaît.
Europäer, der bin ich, jawohl!
In Deutschland, da lieb' ich den Kohl,
In England den Shandy,
In Frankreich den Brandy
Und in Holland Amanda van Dool.
Ik spreek Nederlands thuis op de laan.
Ik kan Frans, Duits en Engels verstaan.
Ik mag doughnuts niet eten
En baseball vergeten—
Ik ben helemaal Europeaan.

Thank you, that's a brilliant piece of poetry. Kevin is good with languages. I can understand and read all four of them (French with some difficulty, I admit), but I only manage limericks in English and Dutch.

There's something not right about Paulus
You should hear the nasty things he calls us
Teutonic abuse
Is no bloody use
When no awful fate will befall us!

When I read something odd from a friend
I will try to find out what he meant
For I want to prevent
That I misunderstand
And cause friendship to come to an end

There was a vampire slayer called Buffy,
who, sometimes, was a little huffy.
She picked up her stake,
and aimed to make
the vampires dead 'cause she's a toughie!

Your humour and mine are the same
So I'm not really to blame
if you misunderstood
A limerick that was good
A wind-up, albeit tame

My brain is refusing to work
And it's making me feel like a dork
All the stories I start
Keep on falling apart
It's like eating bouillon with a fork

It is incredibly cold outside,
With ice that'll make you slip and slide,
But let that wind blow,
'Cause I have nowhere to go,
So I'll just stay in and hide.

When King Winter is showing his powers
and the snow keeps on falling for hours
then we all want to hide
by the fireplace inside
as the frost paints our windows with flowers

I wish I had the luxury of a fireplace,
But looking around that's hardly the case,
It's just my little rented room,
About the size of a tomb,
And not much in the way of space.

But at least, for that is what you told
That small space keeps you out of the cold
You may call it a tomb
But it's more like a womb
For it's life that you want it to hold

With all this talk of snow I am sad
Wearing tshirt and shorts I feel bad
Looking for cheer
I grab another ice cold beer
and feel glad..

I don't think it is right to feel bad
About winter not hitting your head
Enjoy every good day
That is coming your way
There's still plenty of time to be sad

Brrrr.. it's cold but not where I'm at
I don't have cold or snow or none of that
Here I'm getting tan from the sun
Walking and biking and having fun
but if it makes you feel better I still wear a hat

Perhaps The Second Worst Limerick Ever
With that in mind,
you might just find,
I don't know,
are you slow?
This limerick is an affront to mankind.
Oh, and it is just a limerick, nothing more, nothing less.

Andrew, your statement in red is correct. For a basist, it's amazing how bad you are at the rythm of rhymes.1OJ4QNcXVX5B4bkY If life seems jolly rotten

Or maybe that's just what I want you to think!
but in all seriousness, I did set out to write a really bad limerick because I find it quite a good challenge. It might seem a little twisted, but I don't mind. Ghosts, flamingos, guitars and vodka. Eclectic subjects, eccentric stories:

If you want to read a limerick that's really bad,
So poorly written that it's really sad,
The fact that you're reading this,
Surely means something's amiss,
And it's so bad and sad, it'll make you mad.
