For St. Patrick’s Day, March 17 in the Year of Our Lord 2023, the Denver Press Club held a limerick writing contest. I put together a few that you might enjoy. All limericks are original compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A lady who liked to write books
Had all the brains, charm and the looks,
But her breath was so bad
That her boyfriend went mad
So she dated some Match-dot-com schnooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There once was a man with a cow
\u2018Cause his dear wife had left him somehow
When they started to touch
It became much too much
So that heifer wears pantaloons now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A professor whose knowledge of science
Dates back to the Triple-Alliance,
Said with a harumph
Yes I voted for Trump
And your ballots are out of compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a father who liked to hike nude
Left ten kids for a brief interlude
As he climbed a 14er
He froze off his wiener,
So now he can\u2019t add to his brood.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A traveler on the A train
Whose face could not hide his disdain.
Squirmed in his chair
Wondering \u2018Will I get there?\u201d
An RTD common refrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A writer drank scotch on the rocks
And lost all regard for the clocks
\u201cGo ho-o-ome\u201d was the shout,
But his luck had run out.
\u2018Cause his wife had changed all of the locks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spinster had started to doubt
If her bathing suit bore enough clout
\u201cMa\u2019am, did\u2019n mean to ignore ya
But Faith and begorrah,
Yer wearin\u2019 that thing inside out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(fractured)
There once was a man from Killarney,
Who over-engaged in the Blarney.
He spoke too much craic,
Was told \u201cNever come back\u201d
So he packed up and moved to Greeley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(fractured)
There was a man riding a donkey,
Whose steering was just a bit wonky,
He rode down a hill
And took such a great spill,
That now his head really is up his ass.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
