here's a few more:
I like making up limericks by the mile
And can get on a roll for a while
But the following ain't mine,
I found it online
and decided it was good for a smile.......
There once was a pirate (the story relates)
who liked to go dancing on roller skates.
He fell on his cutlass
which rendered him nutless
and virtually useless on dates.
ok, that one isn't one I made up, but I like it.
These are mine....
There was a young pirate from Bristol
Whose cutlass was made out of crystal
Other pirates just laughed
Thought him to be daft
But they learned he was good with a pistol.
And I confess, 'bout that pirate from Bristol
And 'bout that surly pirate pistol
I thought it so good
(considered naught that I should)
But it had such limerick potential!
There was a fine pirate named Jack,
Who carried a compass to track,
The way to much loot,
(From aztecs, to boot)
And a single Pearl he wanted back.
