r/limericks

Dedicated to Marty Schachter

There once was a grifter named Jones

Who drank milkshakes made out of bones

Then he uttered some libels

Had to swear on some Bibles

Now he’s one of the clout-chasing clones.

I tried…

Writing limericks can often be hard
Just finding that perfectly rhymed word.
Like, does the phrase door hinge
Actually rhyme with orange?
Well, it is close, but alas no cigar.

This Saturday’s stirringly difficult to rhyme word is song.

As usual, you may expect the uncritical applause of your devoted fellow redditors who greet each new limerick you contrive as though it had descended not from the ordinary labors of craft, revision, and familiar melody, but from some ineffably creative source where self-indulgence and genius are thought, by you at least, to be one and the same.

Submissions must be complete limericks only. No NSFW comments on this thread please.

This Saturday’s sharply difficult to rhyme word is squabble.

As usual, you may expect the uncritical applause of spat sport fans, who greet each fresh tiff you contrive as though it had descended not from the ordinary failings of temper and vanity, but from some Olympian source where captiousness and genius are thought, by you at least, to be one and the same.
