An oldie but goodie!

Back in the day (ok, about a year ago and subsequent times since) I had the pleasure of being entertained by your collective wit. Truth be told, I need to be entertained again. I've got a double dose of family drama going on and I just need some laughter. (The short of it: My ill aunt found out her cancer has spread to her abdomen and diaphram--not good--pray, please. My crazy aunt is causing problems for my pops. Grrrr!)

So, what am I asking you to do? I simply want you to compose a funny limerick. I'll even let y'all use any language you want. I just need to laugh and not feel so "amped" up and stressed (for like two minutes).
I'd like a theme of Halloween or variations of ghoulish stuff. Here are the basic requirements of a limerick:

Limericks have five lines. Lines 1, 2 & 5 all end with the same rhyme (ex. flue, do, blue). Lines 3 & 4 rhyme, but separately from lines 1,2 & 5. Limericks should always be funny, so please have fun.

Don't be intimidated, have fun!

  1. There once was a man from Nantucket . . .

    Oh, I tried that one before, didn't I?

  2. I only ever wrote one limerick that I thought was good, but it comes with a picture. I have tried others, but none I was ever really happy with.

  3. A limerick, huh? Ok, let's see...

    There once was a guy named Wyatt,
    Whose humor was quite a riot.
    He blogged us a note,
    We read what he wrote,
    And it's free so we don't have to buy it.

    Sorry, forgot the Halloween theme. I'll try that later.

  4. OK, here is a Halloween one. I didn't write it but thought it was funny. Hope it brings you a laugh as well.

    Halloween witch was frenetic.
    She feared it was something genetic.
    They tested her sugar
    And found a big booger.
    They ruled she is snot diabetic.

  5. Wyatt:
    You are probably so drunk on Alabama Slammers (read: fruity girl drink) right now, that you just spouting limericks.

    Rodney:
    I tried the link, but it wouldn't appear.

    Mrs. Grim:
    1. HA!

    2. Funny and made me laugh out loud! (Even if you didn't write it.)

  6. Yes, Rodney, simply disturbing.

  7. Not on topic but this came to me last night just before I retired:

    There was a young lady from Philly,
    She would not go out which was silly,
    She stood on a chair,
    And pulled out her hair,
    Then she said "Now you must call me Billy".
