There was a young painter named Paul  
To Tahiti he went, paint and all  
He painted girls naked  
But his skin became (visual rhyme) baked  
So he packed up and went back to Gaul

A Scotsman named Angus McRucker…

A Scotsman named Angus MacRucker  
Took a job as a horse stable mucker  
_Ach-feck-shite_! was the sound  
As he fell to the ground  
That barn floor is a real slippry fucker  
I know an attorney named Pat

There once was a doggie named Rover  
Who liked to go romp in the clover  
One morn whilst a-romping  
His pills took a stomping  
Now ole Rover won’t ever come over

He was probably laughing too hard to remember.

A young lady once went to the mall  
and met a young man, had the gall  
to say “Lady, you’re tardy  
Let’s strip down and party  
Young lady, please get on the ball”

There once was a young lass named Lucy…

Damn, I did forget…anyway:

There once was a young lass named Lucy…  
Who’s top half was rather quite juicy  
But below her waist  
It was really a waste  
Oh her poor sad dried up old……ahem.

Remember the one about Dave?

Who got hired at minimum wage.

Simply stated,“must have nice rear.”  
I think he became a sex slave.  
Why do these all end up in the gutter?

_A Circus Performer named Bill…_  
Balanced plates on a stick. Not a thrill.  
But now he’s quite happy,  
His act is now snappy,  
All thanks to a little blue pill.

Gutter? Hey, they’re limericks. I think the raunch is required.

I’ll get them both then…

A Circus Performer named Bill  
Could give the crowd a special thrill  
Swinging from the trapeeze  
By what looked like his knees  
But what it was the crowd talks about still

Then there’s his brother named Peter…  
The notorious old pumpkin eater  
He swore to the lord  
That he gave up the gourd  
But come fall he’s a bit of a cheater.  
I once knew a lady named Shirley…

Was attacked by a man with great malice.  
This caused her father much strife,  
So he pulled out a knife
