Loopy Limericks

The richest gal I ever knew
Invented a fantastic kind of glue
Where lying liars
Lie stuck to lyres
Too bad she didn’t patent that goo

Unfortunately, beans made me toot
This had the sad effect
Of having my sex life wrecked
And costing me truckloads of loot!

I was mobbed by six harrier hawks

On one of my afternoon walks
I was mobbed by six harrier hawks
These birds of a feather

Just noticed this: for my small contribution, I thank you, and to my co-contributors, yes, that one did turn out rather nicely.

There have been some others here I would like to have given a star or upvote to. May we feel free to recognize those that strike us as especially nicely done, without being otherwise critical, or is even an occasional “clap” not in the spirit of the game?

These birds of a feather

These birds of a feather

Stole my wallet and my brand new Crocs!

I enjoy a good matzah ball soup

[Jeez you all start a bird-themed one–in the middle of the night? Do I need to set my alarm now so I don’t miss out?]


I enjoy a good matzah ball soup
Tho my wife’s spices send me for a loop

I say yes. I’ve clapped for a few along the way - not for all of the limericks that I’ve liked but for some of the ones that I think really stand out. I am speaking as the Poet Laureate of my own head.

I enjoy a good matzah ball soup
Tho my wife’s spices send me for a loop
I love that tangy zip
With each matzoh ball sip

I love that tangy zip
With each matzoh ball sip
That sends me running to the poop coop


I can’t believe I ate the whole thing

I can’t believe I ate the whole thing
A gallon of shrimp from Egg Roll King

I can’t believe I ate the whole thing
A gallon of shrimp from Egg Roll King
Now I feel sick

A gallon of shrimp from Egg Roll King
Now I feel sick
like I swallowed a brick
And my butthole is starting to sting.

And the genie was a bit of a tramp

And the genie was a bit of a tramp
When I asked for a huge gem
