This one could drag out for months.

There was an old man from Dundee
Whose limericks ended line three
They weren't very good ...

Do you want that in as an official entry, arnie?

Even that is not my own work. See http://www.oules.lightentertainment.org/myths/limericks.html (scroll about one third of the way down the page).

I have however sent you a couple of PMs.

There was an old man from Dundee
Whose limericks exceeded line three
They weren't very good
But we all understood
His schadenfreudic epicaricacy

There was an old man from Dundee
A rhymable home town, we see,
Whose nephew, famous plumber
Inspired a great number
While he plumbed with his friend by the sea.


An immovable man in Dundee
Said to those who had urged him to flee,
"I'm here on the Tay
And likely to stay
Until unknown forces move me."

I envision Jerry, sitting on his lanai, coming up with limericks and DDs all day. Obviously, I love your first one!
