Some Really Interesting Limericks

      or what all true Limerick Nuts know :

        The 3 line Limerick
             
            There was a young fellow from France
            Who waited ten years for his chance.
                    Then he muffed it.

        The world's best Limerick
             
             
            There was a young plumber of Leigh
            Who was plumbing a maid by the sea.
                 Said the maid, “Cease your plumbing,
                 I hear someone coming.”
            Said the plumber, still plumbing, “It's me.”

        The Metric Limerick (4.2 lines)
             
             
            There was a young man from New Haven 
            Who had an affair with a raven.
                 He said with a grin
                 As he wiped off his chin,
            “Nevermore!”

        The first and only palindromic Limerick
             
             
            Tango-noter, a disc I peek at
            In a temple: hot sin, a mad rat;
                 Ere we retard, a man
                 Is to help me tan;
            I take epics, I dare, to no gnat.

        The Limerick written with only 5 letters
             
             
            I see as I sit at tea
            A stasis state at sea
                 I test, as I eat,
                 A East-Asia seat;
            I assess a siesta settee.
            Arthur Deex       

          

        The Limerick written with only 3 letters: A rather pathetic attempt at a three letter limerick commemorating Apolo Anton Ohno’s crash and burn silver medal in speed skating in the 2002 Winter Olympics.

             
            Ho ho, Ohno, oh, ho ho.
            Oh no, Ohno, no, oh no!
                 Ohno, no, oh no!
                 Oh, Ohno, no no.
            No Ohno on no. ono.

        Limericks in which every foot rhymes — the perfect octuple-sextuple rhyme

          Men venerate treasure on Earth 
          Cue the Miracle: Granite resolving
          Then penetrate pleasure n’ birth — 
          To a spherical planet revolving;
                Fair surprise ’twixt thin thighs 
               Stray lightning bolts knife;
                Where your guys mixed in  size 
               A brightening jolts life;
          Again generate measure n’ girth 
          Through a lyrical Man, it’s evolving
