100 Funny Limericks For When You Need A Quick And Easy Laugh

ADVERTISEMENT

Do you remember the good old times in grade school when the teacher would ask you to write a fun limerick? If not, consider yourself lucky — I certainly do. A limerick is one of those poetic forms that can only be classified as torture for kids. It’s not like they’re actually bad, but they’re probably one of those things you can only really appreciate when you get older. In fact, as I grew up and started taking a genuine interest in writing, suddenly limericks didn’t sound awful anymore.

If you’re not sure what we’re talking about, here’s a quick refresher on how to write a limerick: they are humorous, five-line rhyming poems that usually keep a silly or absurdist tone. They follow an AABBA rhyme scheme, so the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with one another, while the third line rhymes with the fourth.

Funny limericks are one of the most compact forms of poems. And writing one is also a great way to get started in poetry. They even make for a challenging writing exercise — once you get over the hump of coming up with an idea for one in the first place! If you’re unsure how to begin, let us show you some examples of limericks. These funny short poems, with their bouncy rhythm and absurd themes, may even get you chuckling!

Anything that he can;

But found that she wasn't so fond.

So she dumped him outside in the pond.

The mouse ran up the clock;
The clock struck one
And down he run;
Hickory Dickory dock.

He never knew when he was slighted;

And eat just as hearty,
As if he'd been really invited.

Whose nose was most awfully bent.

One day, I suppose -
And no one knows which way she went.

Who was so terribly thin
When she sipped lemonade
Through a straw in the shade
She slipped through the straw and fell in!

And performed every test
But I've come to the end of my purse!"

Pop culture, funny content, sharing interesting facts about the world, and creating listicles for fellow Pandas.

There once was a kitty so neat, Who used her litter box discreet. She took a big poop. I came with a scoop, And tossed her turds out on the street.

Here are a couple of familiar limericks to which have been added a reply: There was a young man who said "God Must find it exceedingly odd To think that the tree Should continue to be When there's no one about in the quad." Reply: "Dear Sir: Your astonishment's odd; I am always about in the quad. And that's why the tree Will continue to be Since observed by, Yours faithfully, God.” Said an ape as he swung by his tail, To his offspring both female and male, From your offspring, my dears, In a couple of years, May evolve a professor at Yale. reply Alas but the theory was flawed, The apes were not seriously awed by the prospect to be of Yale's pedigree, And thus evolution was nulled. Some professors think they've evolved And Darwin thereby absolved, With eloquence immutable And theories irrefutable And no intelligence is involved.
