The perfect literature for today's reader - wisdom in bite-sized pieces for the attention-span-impaired
The limerick form is complex
Its contents run chiefly to sex
It burgeons with virgins
And masculine urgins
And swarms with erotic effex.
One of the more famous limerick writers was Edward Lear (Book of Nonsense).
The comedian Ronnie Barker had a copy but improved Lear's efforts by modifying the last line:
There was an old fossil named Lear
Who's verses were boring and drear
His last lines were worst
Just the same as the first!
So I've tried to improve on them here.

There was a young lady of Exeter,
So pretty that men craned their necks at her.
One was even so brave
As to take out and wave

Who used ewes for unusual tricks
And went on at such length

As he made her his bride
(They hoped he would marry them, too!)

The result was most horrid,
All arse and no forehead,
Three balls and a purple goatee!

In the Garden of Eden lay Adam
Caressing the mons of his madam
And he knew with elation
That in all of creation
There were only two balls and he had 'em

Lived out where the action was hot.

Other guys had all rode 'em
Till God noticed and said, "Thou shalt not."

Can you think of anything worse!
But give it a read -
It's so easy - indeed!
You'll love it - and so will your purse.

Could recall every girl that he'd laid.
He recorded each poke
Every thrust, every stroke
And precisely how much that he'd paid.

It's certain the plot always thickens;
With characters, themes
And digressions it teems;
As for sex, though, it's mighty slim pickin's.

What was two becomes three

To something quite fine,
Even grand or divine
And then all he brought forth was his peter.

To moralists, sex is a sin,
Yet Nature suggests we begin.
She arranged it, no doubt,
That a fellow juts out
In a place where a damsel juts in.

"I proclaim here and now that I love it.
I defy the authority
Of the Moral Majority
They can take all their preaching and stuff it."

There once were two ladies from Birmingham
And this is the story concerning 'em
They lifted the frock
And played with the cock
Of the bishop while he was confirming 'em.
But the Bishop was nobody's fool
He'd been to a good public school
So he took down his britches
And diddled those bitches
With his eight inch Episcopal tool.
But that didn't startle these two,
Why they laughed as the Bishop withdrew,
The Vicar is quicker
And thicker and slicker
And longer and stronger than you!

And her mother, she had no complaint
But men - quite a few -
Were more fun than a pew
So she wanted to be but she ain't!

With brunettes in your bed
But with blondes all you need's a cheap white.
