From the 95,000 limericks in the Jim McWilliam collection, endless new limericks can be created through Queneau assembly. Here are ten.
A GREGARIOUS monk now rejects There was a young man from Dakar Oh Bessie my dear let's make haste The subject of cloning appalls Louisa May Alcott did write |
The new Georgy of Pudding and Pie A mean Carpetbagger named Herman The thing only makes the furnace bolder. There once was a naughty old fag A Doublemint lady named Dunn |
New limericks are generated every five minutes. You can get six a day by following @DadaLimericks on Twitter. Or, take it highbrow.
Rhymes are calculated using the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary. There are 1155 distinct sounds for the "A" rhyme and 1035 for the "B" rhyme.
Inspired by Dr. Andy Holding on The Science of Fiction.
