Which leaves the rest here well amused.

The world, it can really quite suck.
Disease and despair run amok.
Yet it takes Britney Spears
With her shaved head and tears
For the public to say "shit, we're fucked!"

It would seem that some people don't know
how a limerick is meant to go:
five beats in this line
the rest should have nine
all except for that last one, just so.

A thread all of lim'ricks? Quite merry!
But what of a whole dictionary?

It seems like a mountain
Of wit for just one site to carry!

If you looked you might find some info,
Metric feet, in a limerick, go;
Three three, two two three,
Easy as can be,
Syllables are not all you must know.

I'm much more of a fan of haiku
but I suppose a Limerick will do
to waste some time
by composing a rhyme
and I'm becoming a convert, too!

If you must become quite obsessed
with meanings that rhymes possesed
A sonnet you should write
And find solace in your might
But I find much more comfort in jest.

But stanza composing
See? Not so imposing!
I'm terribly glad you're amused

Twice blessed, our hero the doc
Once with his hands, again with his cock
Makes the incision
With wondrous precision
And takes off her elegant frock

Kelly was supple, nimble and keen
Eva was rubbing oils on Christine
Sue liked her whips
Fey swayed her hips
While doc spread his charms in between

As a student of english I 'fess,
that my limerick ability is less
that the ones that I see
when I visit QC,
which leaves me in quite a big mess.

It's a very strange truth that I know:
it rhymes if you say it just so.
There's a way I can make
the word lark rhyme with lake
but I won't tell you how, I must go.

Dang you people, now you've got me getting all political .. in limerick form.

Now a housing crisis is looming
Because when the market was booming
To impress their spouses
People bought houses
When really they should have been rooming

Buying on margin: speculating
Why should my tax money pay a thing
To bail you guys out?
No, I don't doubt
Its all 'bout election year bling.

My wife and I thought about buying
But it would have taken some lying
On our mortgage app
(Our credit was crap);
We knew ARM's would lead to some crying.

Economics are simple, you see
Money: it doesn't grow on trees.
Now my wife and I
(Who didn't buy)
Want to purchase a house by the sea.

The only way we can afford it
Is if the prices come down a bit.
That's not gonna happen
If the dominant faction
Gets Congress to take care their shit.

Look, it's called a market correction.
For some, yes its a painful lesson.
For the rest of us
Who weren't idiots
Its a natural change in direction!

Also submitted to limerick db - so if you find it there, don't accuse me of plagiarism.  8-)
