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!

So it's a trochee instead of an iamb. Poetic license. Adding "all" doesn't really make it scan any better: it just adds a syllable.

YES! That's the term I was (feebly) trying to think of up there. Damn, it's been nearly 10 years since I took Poetics ;)

*rofl*

Yeah. It's only been seven years since I took it, so I have three fewer years to sift through. ;)

Damn, 19 seems far away now... when the hell did I get to be 26? Who authorized that? :P
