1 A naked pole dancer of York Once twisted and spun with such torque That the pole came unpegged And she landed spread-legged On the pole of a patron from Cork 2 My accent's non-rhotic. I talk In a way that makes "stork" sound like "stalk." So this should do the trick For a fine limerick On the place that you've chosen (that's York.) 3 A yodeling yokel of York Eschewed chewing food from a fork Knives mangled his maw And spoons stuck in his craw But yodeling's fine with a spork 4 There once was a fellow of York Who ate nothing other than pork And beans. He was fated To be constipated So guess what he did with his fork? 5 A rabbi who worshipped in York Looked askance at his plateful of pork. Said, "It's surely not kosher!" And "What could be gaucher?" And "How did it get on my fork?" 6 Said King Charles, "Now then Andrew, let's talk. It seems that you're still Duke of York, But each sight of your face Just recalls your disgrace, So York PA is now where you can walk. 7 A silly young woman of York Averred babies come from a stork But nasty old Clancy Pulled off her pants - he Showed how they come twixt 'er fork ---------------- Well, Folks, that's the lot. Let the Voting begin! | ||

I'll pick five. #1 doesn't consider that the patron from Cork may have had Payronies disease. | |||

Were there only two of us who submitted limericks? Maybe we ought to move this game to Farcebok, They've got an active pun group there, so why not lims? | |||

Interesting. So far there's a two-way tie, so I'll muddy the waters further and elevate Number 4. Do the Roolz say anything about a three-way tie? | |||

I looked at the limericks on Fartsbook, and they're not allowed to be naughty. Forget that idea! As for de roolz, did anyone write two that got votez? Might you break ties that way? With so few participants does it matter? | |||

Only THREE who submitted limericks??? If someone knows how to contact Bethree5, and we can induce Tinman, Shufitz and Kalleh to contribute, I'd say it's worth continuing. Otherwise??? | |||

I'm B-A-A-A-A-CK! Sorry to be such a crummy teammate. The last month has been hairy in various ways, but am now onsite in fave vacation spot for a while, and ready to lim. In case you doubt my enthusiasm, please note I STILL-- after all these years-- eschew counting sheep in favor of composing limericks as a sleeping potion. [Wait... that may not be a recommendation ] Geoff you certainly took the cake with this one, far and away my fave. Hope we'll hear from you on a new location soon! | |||
