More on the lure of limericks

Mischief is the soul of a limerick. George Bernard Shaw once observed about the trend to write the limericks which were not lewd, obscene or naughty were “good attempts, but could not rise above the mediocre”.

Some spicy ones listed below:
There was a young man with a hernia,
Who said to his surgeon, "Goldernia,
While improving my middle,
Be sure you don't fiddle
With matters that do not concernia."
- Heywood Hale Broun

A young lass met a Mr.
Who held her gently and Kr.
But in spite
That very nite
The Mr. Kr. Sr.

There once was a person from Lyme
Who married three wives at a time.
When asked, "Why a third?"
He replied, "One's absurd,
And bigamy, sir, is a crime!"
Dixon Lanier Merritt
(1879-1972)

There once was an old man from Esser,
Whose knowledge grew lesser and lesser.
It at last grew so small,
He knew nothing at all,
And now he's a college professor.

A really naughty one that I came across:
There was this young lady named Valerie,
Who began to count on her calorie
Said her boss in disgust,
“if you lose half your bust,
You’ll be worth only half your salarie”

There are numerous limericks listed on several websites.
Let me share with you some web links which list out such ludicrous limericks.
