I really enjoyed The Black Sheep's answer. I loved her limerick, and her brother's limerick sounded like something one of my brothers could have written. : D
Also, I wanted to share one of my favorite limericks and the story behind it. While in high school, I, for a short time, attended a lunch-time writer's group. One day we were discussing limericks. One of the guys in the class told us about a limerick his father had written. Apparently, his father had been telling his coworkers about some hilarious deeds that had been going on at his house, and one of the coworkers said that werf would love to be a fly on the wall of this guy's house. The father of my friend thought for a minute, and then said this:
If you were a fly on my wall
You wouldn't hear nothing at all
'Cause I'd grab a tissue
And then I would squish you
And make you little fly ball.

Limericks
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

I loved all those limericks today! What creative writers and family members of writers!
Coincidentally enough, The Electric Company story is all about limericks today. All of their limericks are clean (since it's a kid show and stuff) but not particularly inspired.
"I'm Manny the limerick poet
I'm good and boy do I know it
Someone thinks I'll make
a great big mistake
but guess what I'm not gonna blow it"
(For those of you curious, Manny did blow it by trying to cheat with a distracting bug, but then he teamed up with his mom (who confiscated the bug) and messed up again.)
Yep. Now my pop and I are trying to come up with a good limerick with the words gregarious, nefarious, and hilarious.
Ackshully, we're watching Fetch. His grandma's in jail.

There once were some women gregarious
Who thought up a plot quite nefarious
They stole people's plums
To stick on their thumbs
And thought the whole thing quite hilarious!
(Many thanks to Little Jack Horner, who, whenever I tried to think of a rhyming nefarious plot, got his poem stuck in my head. If anyone else is better at thinking up nefarious plots than me, feel free to take the whole thing. I'm far too sweet to think of good things.)
