Limerick-rolling

[Erik_Kowal]

There once was a bard from Hong Kong
Who thought limericks went on too long.

[Bobinwales]

That is brilliant.

[Erik_Kowal]

I once knew a man from Baku
Whose limericks stopped at line two.

[Bobinwales]

There was a man from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan
When they told him so
He said "Yes I Know!
But I try to get as many words into the very last line as I can."

[Erik_Kowal]

There was a young man
From Cork who got limericks
And haikus confused.

[Erik_Kowal]

Townsfolk need to abbreviate in
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrn-
drobwllllantysilio-
gogogoch, but will go
The whole hog when the spring tours begin.

[Bobinwales]

There was an old woman from Slough
Who developed a terrible cough.
So she drank half a pint
Of warm honey and mint,
But sadly, she didn’t pull through.
