The Great Limerick Challenge

Okay, folks. As some of you may know, I'm a complete limerick fiend, and I want to make a compilation to fuel my obsession.

So, I want you to post all your favourite limericks right here. If you have friends who aren't on my list or who have no LJs, point them here too. :)

There is no limit to the number of limericks anyone should post. In fact, I encourage you to post as many as you can think of. Feel free to make some up, too.

Have at it!

My favorites are generally on the abstract side.

There once was a girl from Perdue
Whose limericks end at line two.

(You need that one to get the companion voulme:)

There once was a girl from Verdun.

And don't forget Gardner's version...

There was a young girl in Japan
Whose limericks never would scan.
     When someone asked why,
     She said with a sigh,
"It's because I always attempt to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can."
