A Virgin Rail ticket inspector
Became conscientious objector,
When a lass in first class
Tried a tentative pass,
And his conscience forced him to reject her.

JoyBloggs you could just say "she'd dash to the loo in a hurry". Gets rid of one syllable.

There once was a funny old codger
A Gransnetter took as a lodger
Said he'd do the odd job
For a couple of bob
But turn'd out to be such a bodger

There was a young lady from Ryde
Who ate a green apple and died.
The apple fermented
Inside the lamented
And made cider inside her inside.

Oh yes, I often stay up all night worrying about limericks.
Doesn't everyone??
It beats counting sheep........

Volcanoes like Etna and Vesuvius
Contain material hot and effluvius,
When dormancy ceases
and pressure increases
Then watch out below, it's voluminous.

I like that Henetha What a lot of creative posters there are.

Thanks Elegran. I love writing limericks.

When texting my lover by mobile,
Our messages tend towards volatile,
With language exotic
Or sometimes erotic
Even Will Shakespeare would smile.

A naughty old granny from Crewe
Told tales that quite often weren't true
Of her jaunts with The Queen,
All the places they'd been
And the cafs where they'd stopped for a brew
