Limerick Competition

Another fine solution to my poetic problem, thanks.

Anyway, back to the limericks, here's my attempt at a philosophical one.

Knowledge.

A clever young man from Nepal
Wrote all that he knew on a wall
Then he had to be frank
When he saw it was blank
And admit he knew nothing at all.

manners

there was a young man from new york
who like to eat soup with a fork
and after he dined
would order red wine
and would finish by eating the cork

i just watched two fools in debate
i could have but didn't get irate
the discourse was dumb
intellectual chewing gum
that they each thought they won was quaint

perennial star trek redshirt
about to nap in the dirt
a loser at birth
devoid of mirth
but only by love am i hurt

There might be a gent of Indonesia
Who works best under anesthesia.
From alpha he'd write
To our general delight
With a dash of some synaesthesia.

Ruined the wedding

For breakfast today I had cake,
I admit it was quite the mistake,
It was meant for the wedding
I got crumbs on my bedding,
and am left with a stomach that aches.

After the kind words of appreciation for my last effort, for which I bow humbly and offer thanks to all of my RHP friends, I will attempt to continue in philosophical bent.

Ahem....

Ronald

Ronald once thought it essential
To live life to its' fullest potential
Then one day he said 'Hey,
what's the point anyway?'
And now he's gone all existential.

Sometimes

Sometimes a great work isn't meant to be topped.
And it's hard to know when best to be stopped.
But one thing I do know,
is, if it's "on with the show"...
then admirable creativity should never be cropped.

Why do I always feel I need a nap
When my wife is in charge of the map
It isn't left, it's isn't right
She is only looking for a fight
When I hear her yap yap yap

Help, anybody...?

An unfaithful husband in Nice
confessed to his mistress: 'Candice...

The midday sun

I once knew a chap for Milan,
who decided to work on his tan,
smothered in oil
he started to boil,
like a sausage too long in the pan.

Yo ho ho and a pot of clotted cream

Cap'n Bluebeard roamed the high seas
Boarding ships whenever he pleased
But he plunders no more
Since last coming ashore
He prefers to serve scones and cream teas.
