Three Limericks
 
  There once was a poet named Stu,
he would write 'til his fingers turned blue.
When he searched for a rhyme
he committed a crime,
they said only free-versing for you.

In the greatest of rivers, the Nile
lived a six meter crocodile.
A reptilian purist
he would eat only tourists
you could tell when he had, by his smile.

My great uncle Dan is no more
he would sleep standing up and would snore.
With his mouth open wide
a huge roach crawled inside
and it left through the open back door.

Herbert Nehrlich

We've had our concerns about words
Whose meanings have flown with the birds
So, I'll offer this truce
For my phrasing abstruse
To be sealed by the sheathing of swords

There was a young lady called liz
whose limerick was lacking in fizz
So she whipped out her pen
And said once again
Dear Herbert your Limericks the biz.
