A Virgin Rail ticket inspector
Became conscientious objector,
When a lass in first class
Tried a tentative pass,
And his conscience forced him to reject her.

I did n't write this one but it's too good to not put up:

There was a young student from Boston,
Who drove around in an Austen.
There was room for his ass
and a gallon of gas.
But his balls hung out and he lost 'em.

That makes me think of my son and his little open-top two seater useless thingie (can't remember car names)

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 28-Mar-14 13:26:12

Oh dear! Thread' s gone quiet.

Sir Yoric is good Jingl

MiceElf Fri 28-Mar-14 13:34:33

There once was a woman called Jings
Who wrote about hundreds of things.
She expressed an opinion
On almost a million
From teaching to flouncing to wings.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 28-Mar-14 13:34:34

Elegran! Stop trying to visualise it!

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 28-Mar-14 13:36:02

Oh yes. I like that MiceElf. smile

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 28-Mar-14 13:37:12

We could dedicate the whole rest of the thread to limericks about me.

smile of satisfaction.

One day when things weren't going right
I chanced on this wonderful site
Where problems are shared
And worries are aired
And somehow the dark became light smile

Gransnet of course!

There was a young seagull called Rasta
Who chased kids to make them run fasta
So they threw him a chip
It got caught in his beak lip
And he now prefers haddock with pasta.

This was to cheer up my GD who was attacked by a seagull outside a fish and chip shop. Didn't work. She still hates them!

Seagulls I mean, not chips.

On gransnet there was a poster
Who one day sat on her toaster
She let out a howl
Said this is foul
And the stripes on my bum are disaster.

(I can't do last lines)

Elegran Fri 28-Mar-14 16:47:16

Hint - get your last line ready first and make the rest fit.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 28-Mar-14 17:07:48

There is a poster on here now
Who would never dream of causing a row
Her name is like a little Elf
(Very pleased she is with herself)
She opens wide her little gob
And a sound comes out just like meeow.

That didn't work and it will probably get me banned. hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 28-Mar-14 17:08:43

And it's all your fault Elegran! shock

Elegran Fri 28-Mar-14 17:23:37

Just being helpful, jings ! I am sure you can rise above all the help.

I don't have time to put that in verse, I am googling pink ivory. It might stop poachers, but equally it might be so pretty it would encourage them.

MiceElf Fri 28-Mar-14 17:41:53

MiceElf is woman of wisdom
Well learned in euhemerism
When bothered by gnats
They are fed to the rats
Together with daft criticism.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 28-Mar-14 18:08:53

Wisdom comes in many guises
Self satisfaction too.
Those who think they're bloody clever
Just turn out to be full of poo.

JoyBloggs Fri 28-Mar-14 19:58:38

There once was a granny from Surrey
Lived mainly on rhubarb and curry
At the end of each day
In a purposeful way
She would dash to the loo in a hurry

Sorry to lower the tone blush and not sure it scans properly, but first attempt and will try to do better next time....

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 28-Mar-14 20:03:00

You're not lowering the tone Joyblogs.

That's a good one. grin

JoyBloggs Fri 28-Mar-14 20:16:34

Thank you jingl, but I'm still worried it doesn't scan! confused

Ana Fri 28-Mar-14 20:21:07

It's only that third line - trying to think of an alternative...

merlotgran Fri 28-Mar-14 20:21:37

It does.

Ana Fri 28-Mar-14 20:22:27

Although the fourth line has six syllables as well, so what I said doesn't make sense! blush

mrsmopp Fri 28-Mar-14 20:24:25

There was a farm in Huddersfield
That had a cow that wouldn't yield.
The reason why she wouldn't yield,
She didn't like her udders feeled.

Oh heck, it's not a limerick is it?
Anyone know what the missing line is??
Duh, I'm not fit to be a gransnetter...... Boo hoo

merlotgran Fri 28-Mar-14 20:31:36

There once was a cow in a field
That try as she might couldn't yield
A grasp of her udder
Would just make her shudder
And normal in cold Huddersfield.
