  • Green was the print/Seen on the mint/ Keen was the scent/ Teen on the hint of mischief this St. Paddy's Day!

  • He started off a slave and not very brave,
    A flock he tended and faith was extended,
    legend tells of the snakes great fate and clover new weight
    but who knows of feasts we give for his sake?

  • A gay man I knew in Khartoum
    Took a lesbian up to his room.
    They stayed up all night
    Arguing who had the right
    To do what and with which and to whom.

  • Thanks for these limericks. I'm curious, are these original ones written by you?

  • Question not but live and labor / Till your goal be won / Helping every feeble neighbor / Seeking help from none / Life is mostly froth and bubble / Two things stand like stone / Kindness in another's trouble / Courage in your own.

  • There was a kind curate of Kew,
    Who kept a large cat in a pew;
    There he taught it each week
    A new letter of Greek,
    But it never got further than "Mu."

  • There was a young lady of Bright/ Whose speed was much faster than light/ She set out one day/ in a relative way/ And returned home the previous night.

  • Christmas clues, hints, and secrets/ Make one a spy on an elusive mission/ the perfect gift an ideal goal-who will know if you'll prevail.../ the elf who winked? the reindeer linked to the stars? the snowman who blinks and laughs at the weather? / Have some eggnog and relax/ Only Santa and you will know in the end. Merry Christmas!
