Can you write an anti-limerick?
It doesn’t rhyme, or scan, or have enough lines, or any combination of the above. See?
There was a young man from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan.
When asked why this was,
He answered ‘because
I always try to fit as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can.’
and the well known:
There was an old man of St. Bees,
Who was stung in the arm by a wasp;
When they asked, “Does it hurt?”
He replied, “No, it doesn’t.
But I’m sure glad it wasn’t a hornet!

For posting the best question ever. Yet
If you find no fun
In this simple pun
Then cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it. O.K.? Sheesh, some people take themselves soooooo seriously.
Sweet_Angel thirty-two, one-seventeen,
Her wit was admirably keen.
But too long in the sun
She’d stayed for the fun
And had to give up writing limericks because she ran away with a retired suit salesman named Murray.
That sweet looking gal, TigerLily
Wrote rhymes that were often quite silly.
Then her verbiage turned naughty
And everyone thought she
Wasn’t quite as sweet as her avatar made her look. Hmm? What do you have to say for yourself, Missy?
Guinness the tip-Top Contributor
Was quite the limerick distributor.
But, I think he/she’s lost
At quite a dear cost

who looked a tad older than me
She asked for my age
I answered in rage
What’s my age got to do with the price of peanuts in Tripoli?
or
There once was a family of five
who were so thrilled to be alive
They sold all their stuff
thinking air is enough
Now they’re homeless and on the street corner…behaive!
wow, bill.
Who continually had his head in a bucket.
His tail always wagged.
And his head never sagged.
But, man, he never could see where he was going!
The spaghetti was certainly fine.
The linguini was quite divine.
The gratin was a dish.
As was the fish.
But now my pants have busted a seam, and oh, the acid indigestion!
Who was jolly and rarely sad
When asked why he glee
He said why won’t he?
When his penis was so big he can hardly contain it in his pants.
*anti-limericks are not supposed to rhyme and/or the rhythm is off, right???
Who dropped her can of cold Fanta
She was mad you might say,as she kicked it away
And under a Car it did Land-a
Still thirsty she was fined $50 for littering
Who said she loved the sun
But she got sunburnt
and from then on
Was afraid to go into the sun.
LOL I forgot how to write one of those.
