There was a Young Lady of Russia,
Who screamed so that no one could hush her;
Her screams were extreme,--
No one heard such a scream
As was screamed by that Lady from Russia.
These are limericks by Michael R. Burch, along with limerick-like poems and poems written in limerick meter. This limerick collection contains double limericks, a rare triple limerick, and a new version of the double dactyl that I invented, called the "dabble dactyl."

There was a Young Lady whose nose,
Was so long that it reached to her toes;
So she hired an Old Lady,
Whose conduct was steady,
To carry that wonderful nose.
The was a Young Lady of Bute,
Who played on a silver-gilt flute;
She played several jigs,
To her uncle's white pigs,
That amusing Young Lady of Bute.
There was an Old Man of the North,
Who fell into a basin of broth;
But a laudable cook,
Fished him out with a hook,
Which saved that Old Man of the North

with words like a wave on the sand
His verses would dance,
in a wild,rhythmic trance,
capturing life's beauty unplanned.

There was once a lady on whom I had a crush
She was crystal fair but never had a good brush
Stripped her of her make-up only to see the real her;
This lady I loved and cherished was but a pig-stir.
Ah, Lord knows I surely needed the inestimable dash!
One bird was singing full mouthed on branch
And it's maxim made all humans dance
Thus days go on, but suddenly came storm
And the branch fell, the maxim had no norm
That she only shout'd, now hasn't chance.
Being in love Mr. Shyama
Was looking like Fujiyama.
By now, he- a cool lover!
No one thinks for ever
He too, had carried magma!
