A Plethora of Limerick Poems for Every Playful Purpose. Breaking 500 in July!
Is that Edward Lear, the father of limerick poems, in the corner over there? Why yes, it is, in a contest with Kathleen, the barmaid, and it seems she’s on a roll with a current limerick count of >492. Kindly visit our Site Map for a complete index.
The "ologists" ponder and plot
About all the treatments they've got
But those crazed neurosurgeons
Have "cutting up" urgin's
"Prima donnas," are they, the whole lot.
Thanks, Dad, you taught me the rules
Of building a doghouse or stools
I'll be glad to assist
With your project shortlist
(Now that I've filched all your tools.)
Net worth is the old bottom line
And for others, I spend all my time
To come up with this number
And sometimes I wonder
Why I'm working on theirs, not on mine?
Years Fly By for the 8th Grade Graduate
So proud of you dear, who'd have guessed
That the years would fly by so? Now rest.
But not for too long
For now you belong
With the high-schoolers, dear, you're the best!

In honor of Bloomsday
, our James Joyce Society "throws the house through the window."
The key to the story of Bloom
Is the Odyssey. You may assume
He yearns to go home
Through the length of the tome
If Blazes would leave his bedroom.
Challenge: Working from Home
Multi-Tasking
The clock ticks, a grim metronome,
Until five, when permission to roam
Is your mate’s for the asking.
Yet you, multi-tasking
Can't leave when you're working from home.

Wood Worker
The artist who's working in wood
Must be certain her handtools are good
For if those knives be dull
It's certain she'll mull
Over blood spilled for her livelihood.
Slow Drivers in Front?
Do you think they could go any slower?
They refuse to speed up or move over
And it's always grandaddies
With monstrous, huge caddies
So you pull up beside them and glower

Juggler?
A Mom is a wonderful juggler
With small fry in stroller and snuggler.
Shouldn't she ought
Get a handicapped spot
Near the door for her screamer and struggler?
We Love Librarians!
Describe a librarian's day?
Peaceful and quiet, you say?
There is one thing it lacks
Back there in the stacks
And that thing is more decent pay.

Should you find your visit to the pub enjoyable, Kathleen’s current project may interest you, for Literati Limericks will be in hardcopy, illustrated generously, and something you may carry about for those moments when you find yourself in a queue. Molly is aghast at the amount of time which must be frittered in such lines, and appalled that those interstitial moments are so blithely squandered.
Can we show you to a booth? What is your pleasure in limerick poems? The pub has more than one hundred "rooms," each with its own theme, including: frivolity, sentiment, enlightenment
and even one with candle light for romance. One may hear the din of hammers and saws after closing hours as building continues.
Here at the pub, we maintain a family environment, and endeavor to keep our rooms clean—very nearly antiseptic, in fact—so the children will not pick up germs or other regrettable attributes.
Perhaps some of our limerick poems may serve for a wedding toast? Mayhaps scribbled inside a greeting card? Our Molly is sometimes a romantic, and invites you to browse our About Us page to view the book, Keepsake Book of Love and Marriage.
