My flub is now in the book, the record for all to look; But I’m not alone, yes, the Prince must atone, for a “gaff” is really a hook. ---

limericks are fun, but what of the jokes? The thread is now completely unbalanced! So here goes: What’s the first thing Computer Professionals suffer as they age? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Memory Loss OK,OK. enough with the rotten tomatoes. ---

The limericks and jokes are sure rotten They may all soon be forgotten Unless we act quick And make this a pick For the next version of “Threadspottin’” ---

“More Jokes” the cry went out, “unblanced” the Trader did pout; While just having fun, we’ve neglected the pun, “Duelling jibes” shall be the next bout. If **Tradesilicon** were to streak through the SDMB naked would it be a “Trade Show”? Never mind. I’ll go back to limericking (a close relative of scum raking.) SouthernStyle ---

So what to you become when your puns grow old? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Out of Style If it’s limericks, then so it shall be Jokes, puns, poems, all fine by me Take your shot and don’t miss For the audience would hiss If we fail to amuse, don’t you see ---

Touche, **Tradesilicon** , touche, My Style may have been somewhat brash, and my talk may contain too much trash, I neglected to see, that my inury, means my address is Southern @ slash; Q: What do you get when you cross SouthernStyle and power tools? A: Same as when you cross Tim Taylor and power tools – Sunday afternoon in the ER. Guess you had to be there… The Trademan has offerred a quill, The audience we must now thrill, We must amuse, or be saddled with boos, 'Til the viewers have sampled their fill. SouthernStyle ---

Alas, the pen is dry The words no longer flow (as if they did before…) And Sili must decline To limerick any more (good, they couldn’t take no more) To put my verse in ink (or electrons, as it were) Was all I tried to do. I hope it didn’t stink (I’b holbing by dose) And now let’s hear from you. ---

There was this little village in the middle of the jungle. The folks were poor, but the king had a huge jewel-studded throne made of solid gold. A gang managed to steal it one night and the leader had it stashed in the rafters of his hut. Alas, it was heavy and fell through…right upon the sleeping man, killing him. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* the Moral? \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* People in grass houses shouldn’t stow thrones. ---

A hippie submitted a pun, in the spirit of having some fun; It wasn’t unique, No interest to pique, The thread’s unofficially done. Alas, the contest is dead, “No limerick”, the judges all said; “Has survived the test, been rated the best”, The score sheets were covered in red. sigh… SouthernStyle [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/limericks-bad-jokes/22446.md?page=3)
