All dressed up with nowhere to go,
complained Curly, Larry and Moe,
who went out on the town
wearing 'tween them a crown
and a gold ring on every toe.

There once was a man named Clyde

There once was a man named Clyde
whose neurons were permanently fried.
When eating a ham
With strawberry jam

Right behind you!

whose neurons were permanently fried.
When eating a ham
With strawberry jam
realized he was cross-eyed

The deep blue sea <-- hasn't enough syllables for the opening line of a limerick

Holding my breath in the deep blue sea

Well, this has the right number of syllables...but the meter's wrong. Using normal limerick meter, it'd come out like this:

Holding my breath in the deep blue sea

Let's try a slight modification:


The sea is a deep blue abyss

The sea is a deep blue abyss,
Although I'm some times clueless,
I swim near and far

to find the pool's bar

I swim near and far
to find the pool's bar
and miss Scylla and Charybdis

a big piece for us each
is a good way to teach
it's easier serving beef stew.


I had an old playhouse out back

Where I'd go for a drink and a snack
But one day, Michael Moore

Completely sideways, man
I had an old playhouse out back
Where I'd go for a drink and a snack
But one day, Michael Moore
Stopped to rant for the poor
So my snack and I never went back

But such is my pooch
that Ursidae mooch
Brings them back both on foul days and fair.
