Happy Limerick Day

[Scooter]

May 12th is Limerick Day, in honour of the birthday of Edward Lear, who popularized the art form.

Post your favourites. I'm a numbers guy, so I'll post this clean one to start, but I don't expect that they will stay that way:

A dozen, a gross and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared, and not a bit more.

[Bicycle Bill]

Since it's early, I'll post this clean one before things get out of hand —

The limerick packs laughs anatomical
In a space that is quite economical.
But the best ones I've seen
So seldom are clean ...
And the clean ones are never as comical.

There was a young man called Ghandi
Who went in to the bar for a Shandy
With his great loin cloth
he wiped off the froth
And the barman said
"Blimey, that's handy"

There once was a man from the sticks
Who liked to compose limericks.
Yet failed at the sport
For he wrote them too short.

Lovely! Are you the author?

[Lord Jim]

I'd like to claim credit, but no...

There was an old lady named Hillary
Who carried some heavy artillery
She launched it at Trump
Who called her a frump
Then laughed and chained her to a pillory
