Since I didn't see this topic anywhere, I thought I'd start it. Limericks are short, usually humorous poems that generally have the form of 'AABBA' rhyme scheme with every third syllable accented, where 'A' is a rhyming word to the other 'A's and 'B' is a rhyming word to the next 'B'. Here is an example (a science-based one): On a merry-go-round in the night, Coriolis was shaken with fright. Despite how he walked, 'Twas like he was stalked, By some fiend always pushing him right. This one happens to be a play-on words: A tutor who taught on the flute Tried to teach two young tooters to toot. Said the two to the tutor, "Is it harder to toot, or To tutor two tooters to toot?" See what you could come up with Again, if this topic exists somewhere else, just ignore mine.

Is that David Bowie?” “Never mind that, look!” the American exchange student exclaimed. “I found the Triwizard cup! It’s mine! All mine! I’ll finally get the fame and glory and honor I deserve!” “Stupefy,” said Harry. The American exchange student dropped to the ground, stunned. “Woah!” Cedric exclaimed in astonishment. “You can do magic?!” “Come on, Cedric,” Harry sighed. “We’d better take this together. You know, so Draco Malfoy won’t think I’m selfish. I really want to get with him, you know.” -- Silver Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Omelette of Desire Rabbits Have Rights!

One created off the top of my head:
There once lived three blind mice, Who lived only on basic rice. Since they were blind, They didn't mind To instead be eating dead lice.

lol, these are great! There once was a rose from Seattle Whose goal in life was to raise cattle "How absurd!" Cried every bird. So the rose waged an excellent battle. Okay, that was odd.

There once was a girl in California, Who had a rather large beer. She tried very hard But her vision was marred And when walking she started to veer.

Very good, Quickhare! A Flea and a fly in a flue Were trapped so what could they do Said the fly "let us flee" Said the Flea "let us fly" And they flew through a flaw in the flue.

There was a young guy from Devon, Who was very good at creating a pun. But his jokes ran dry So harder he'd try, And now he's seen as fun.

A mosquito was heard to complain, 'A chemist has poisoned my brain!' The cause of his sorrow was paradichloro- triphenyldichloroethane.

Green tea will always make me smile, Yet feel like walking for a mile. It's aroma is pleasant To any pesant To forget about life for awhile.

That was a nice one, Drie There once was a woman named Bright Whose speed was much faster than light. She set out one day In a relative way, And returned on the previous night.

Watch out for the autumn plonkers Who insist in playing with conkers. They'll split yours in half, Which will cause them to laugh, And their wailing will drive you all bonkers.
