Dada Da Dada Da Dum

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
Is "out for blood" and I suspects
I fear 'twould be treason
Declared open season
And the rest on each partner reflects.
There was a young man from Dakar
I'd be sure that the door's not ajar.
But in Babylon they
They were good in their day.
Runs the company like he's the czar.
Oh Bessie my dear let's make haste
Decided to live life quite chaste.
No one was scoring
They go on adoring
That we have all that money to waste.
The subject of cloning appalls
Who had those magnificent balls.
To gawk at old art
Renaults fall apart.
He can hop from the mall to St Paul's.
Louisa May Alcott did write
And saw by the dawn's early light
"Walking in Dreamland"
With a stern reprimand.
That woman sure enjoys a good fight.
The new Georgy of Pudding and Pie
Find myself in a grey suite and tie
His lacking in meter
A left-leaning peter
How the days of our youth hurry by.
A mean Carpetbagger named Herman
Refusing the hygenic sermon.
Which he set as a throne
And said what I've sown
Where they went, not a soul can determine.
The thing only makes the furnace bolder.
As Rodham gets tougher and colder.
And I'm Chief of Police.
But their talents apiece
Where my marbles would quickly get boulder.
There once was a naughty old fag
Call him braggart, another tag.
Looked close to inspect
I'd have to protect
I might give old Crystal a shag.
A Doublemint lady named Dunn
On full moons she's out to have fun.
Or a walk in the park
Beyond Gandalf's wand's spark.
(Unsatisfied, till all is done.)
