Let's have some fun here, and start a thread of limericks off. I used to do this at school, many moons ago, and had a great time doing it. So, let's see how we can do.
There was an old man from Bude,
Who liked to parade in the nude,
He was walking one day
When attacked by a stray,
Now he's altered his whole attitude.
There was a young man from Eastbourne
Who liked a good chew on popcorn
He bit some one day
His teeth blew away
Now he's toothless, gummy and forelorn.
Boom boom!
Your turn... he he he

Limerick
There was an Old Man of the Wrekin
Whose shoes made a horrible creaking
But they said, 'Tell us whether,
Your shoes are of leather,
Or of what, you Old Man of the Wrekin?
There was an Old Man who supposed,
That the street door was partially closed;
But some very large rats,
Ate his coats and his hats,
While that futile old gentleman dozed
There was an Old Man of the West,
Who wore a pale plum-coloured vest;
When they said, 'Does it fit?'
He replied, 'Not a bit!'
That uneasy Old Man of the West
There was an Old Man with a gong,
Who bumped at it all day long;
But they called out, 'O law!
You're a horrid old bore!'
So they smashed that Old Man with a gong.
There was an Old Man on a hill,
Who seldom, if ever, stood still;
He ran up and down,
In his Grandmother's gown,
Which adorned that Old Man on a hill
There was an Old Man of Moldavia,
Who had the most curious behaviour;
For while he was able,
He slept on a table.
That funny Old Man of Moldavia
There was an Old Man in a boat,
Who said, 'I'm afloat, I'm afloat!'
When they said, 'No! you ain't!'
He was ready to faint,
That unhappy Old Man in a boat.
There was an Old Man of Quebec,
A beetle ran over his neck;
But he cried, 'With a needle,
I'll slay you, O beadle!'
That angry Old Man of Quebec.

There was a fool that wanted to work online,
Thinking "making money this way will be fine",
So he typed the day away,
For very little pay,
Sending spam to an address of mine.
I'm havin fun with this. I keep it up maybe it'll hit the front page.

Now that I've graduated, I can't even remember what a limerick is. And I just graduated seven months ago. See? High school. Totally pointless.

A fly and a flea were caught in a flue
So what could they do?
Said the fly lets flee
And the flea said lets fly
So the fly and the flea flew through a flaw in the flue.
How is it?
Hope this is the best one so far.

Lets check...
Today i feel blue
I dont know why, i just knew
"Eat Chocolates", It's a clue
To have a smile as bright and new.
It's not bad at all..

There was a young man from Darjeeling
Who got on the bus at Ealing
A sign by the door said
don't spit onthe floor
so he stood up and spat on the ceiling
Ok, who's next - LOL

One day a lot of free time I've got,
I debated to do something, or not,
So I turned on the PC,
To make money that's easy,
And that day I discovered myLot!
Not too polished, and a little forced, but here's something to pay homage to myLot (so it can pay me too! har har!)

To make money easy
And that day I discovered Mylot!
How's that? Thank you... a + rating for you, too!

There once was a sun that was very bright
which made the land full of light
The clouds came and shut out the days delight
Which caused a man to hit a car in broad day light.
