A selection of Limericks



When a schoolteacher’s got halitosis

What his pupils fear most when he’s close is

That the smell of his breath

It could choke them to death

And bring about chronic necrosis
.

When the vicar came round here for cake

He thought that a pee he would take

Not seeing the seat

He pee’d on his feet

And stood in a small urine lake
.

When Jesus was up on his cross

He said, “I’m at such a loss

I told folk to be good

And I thought that they would

Just wait until I see the Boss”
.

A policeman while pounding his beat

Had a problem with both of his feet

He had him a bunion

The size of an onion

And removing his boots worked a treat
.

A man went to look for some work

Unemployment was beginning to irk

Said “I’ll do any job

For a couple of bob

For I have no desire to shirk”
.

A vagrant while rifling a bin

Slipped and then promptly fell in

Was it a fluke

That he landed in puke

Well, to waste it would be such a sin

 

 

 

 

A gentleman used to go swimming

Just so he could ogle the women

In his tight bathing suit

He thought he looked cute

But all of the women were grinning
.

A baby crawled over the rug

And picked up a nice juicy bug

Not liking the taste

Disgorged it in haste

Then cried to his mum for a hug
.

A couple were taking a bath

And the gentleman just for a laugh

Spread his cheeks wide apart

And released a loud fart

And made his poor wife nearly barf
.

A young lady still in her teens

Purchased a new pair of jeans

The jeans were too tight

And try as she might

She couldn’t help busting the seams

Don't push it

I will try to be you harshest critic, with much pain. don't push it, if you do you will fall. But keep going and you will go forever. I'm still you biggest fan Fleur
