Limerick Poems
Limerick: There Was An Old Man In A Boat
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man in a boat,
Who said, 'I'm afloat! I'm afloat!'
When they said, 'No! you aint!'
He was ready to faint,
That unhappy Old Man in a boat.
Limerick:There Was A Young Lady Of Russia
by Edward Lear
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.
Merry and Bright
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Christmas was only a few hours away.
Santa and elves were coming on the sleigh.
The night was filled with fair sights,
'Til the clash with festive lights.
Soon flashing, bright nosed Rudolph, led the way!
Limerick: There Was An Old Man Of Columbia
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man of Columbia,
Who was thirsty, and called out for some beer;
But they brought it quite hot,
In a small copper pot,
Which disgusted that man of Columbia.

by Michael R. Burch
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."
Asstronomical

Einstein, the frizzy-haired,
proved E equals MC squared.
And so mass decreases

De mussen op het dak
by Mario Odekerken
De mussen,zo druk op het dak,
ze fluiten en vechten bij vlaag.
Met veren in draf,
en een vrolijke blaf,
maken zij van de dakrand een zaak.
Krugerpark
by Mario Odekerken
In Krugerpark loop leeus met trots,
langs olifante en buffels in klots.
Met sonsondergange,
en wild in die wange,
is dit wildernis sonder gebots.
Die alte Geige
by Mario Odekerken
Im Winkel,verstaubt und allein,
liegt eine Geige aus feinem Holzbein.
Ihr Klang längst verklungen,
doch Lieder gesungen
klingen nach-so zart und doch rein.
Never forget
by Mario Odekerken
There are moments we can't just reset,
etched in time like a sun that won't set.
Though years may go by,
and memories lie,
the heart holds on- never forget.
Europe
by Mario Odekerken
Through Europe we journey with flair,
past castles and markets and air.
From Rome to the Rhine,
with bread,cheese,and wine,
adventure awaits everywhere!
