Limericks / Next time you're in a public can, remember to bring your sharpie

I once knew a man from Pompeii,
Who couldn’t admit he was gay,
He banged lots of ladies, in back his Mercedes,
But he had a French tickler bidet.

I once knew a girl from Sapporo,
Who was preoccupied with her sorrow,
She had small dainty feet, and a pre-moistened seat,
And a pencil thin moustache, like Zorro.

I knew an old maid from Calcutta,
Who was toothless and spoke with a stutter,
But all the young men would make her a friend
When she blew them while gumming yak butter
(Just imagine it—no friction at all)

While gumming yak butter?  Where do you come up with this stuff?

I like your limericks.  They tell good stories and they have a good flow.  They rhyme well and they are kind of strange, in a good way.

Sadly, I think I liked the last one the best.  It tells a good story and it’s really funny (and gross).  So, good luck with them, they’re the funniest bunch of limericks I’ve read on this site today.

Ahahah EEWW! I liked the second and third ones better than the first. The second is funny, but I think would flow better with “So preoccupied with her own sorrow” Or SOMETHING like that as right now the beats are a BIT off. The last 2 lines are friggin awesome.

The third one is great too, and the only thing I would suggest is changing “when” in the last line to “as” as if she is doing it in the present tense, sounds better.

Overall, creative and cringe-inducing. LOL well done, I cant wait to read more of your dirty and disgusting Limericks.

Your third lines should be split up, like so:

(rhyme scheme)
A
A
B
B
A

Otherwise, quite nice!

I’m not sure “French tickler bidet” really works, though.  The last limerick is the best of the three.

Your punctuation needs some attention as well.

Keep writing – you do have a sense of humour.
‘in back his Mercedes’ – isn’t grammatically correct.  ”in the back of his Mercedes’ is correct, though it screws up your rhythm.  You could work a bit on that first limerick.

1st one: should be 5 lines not 4 but if Mercedes is line 4 then okay! Quite funny but the last line doesn’t fit the rest of the limerick I don’t think. 7/10

2nd one: Better! Funnier too because the last line is not expected – exactly what a good limerick should be! 9/10

3rd one: Oh dear! First two lines are great but the third one goes to pieces – too long really. And line 4 is too long as well. The yak butter should rhyme with friend as well. 5/10

The 2nd one is the best – a cracker!

These are clever. Not bad at all. The only edit I would make would be to take out the parenthetical explanation at the end. It weakens it a little bit.

Good job!

I think the themes are clever and I smiled through reading it. Your syllables are off in some places though. Try to get as close to 9-9-6-6-9 as you can. If you can’t try to get the lines all the same size that need to be.

i honestly do think ‘stutta’ and ‘butta’ would be just fine, kind of kept me from laughing my ass off…though, this is most likely the most amusing thing i have read on this wretched-ass ‘site…

thanks, and, good luck…

I like it, it’s funny. my favorite line was “She had small dainty feet, and a pre-moistened seat,
And a pencil thin moustache, like Zorro.” it’s funny, I enjoyed it, it wasn’t bad.
