Sweet Stall Limerick

There once was a skilled maker of sweets
whose buyers would line up down the street.
He was just bones and skin.
"How are you so thin?"
asked a man buying boxes of the treats.

Nellie Bly Limerick

There was a reporter named Nellie Bly:
decided she'd give the asylum a try.
'Twas just for a story.
Doctors lost all glory
when they couldn't tell a nut from a spy.

Influencer Limerick

There once was a YouTube Influencer
who always ran afoul of the censor.
Her most common wrong
was stealing pop songs,
but redacting wardrobe malfunctions incensed her.

Stowaway [Limerick]

There once was a mischievous macaque
with a knack for invading knapsacks.
When a zipper stuck,
'twas his terrible luck
to get locked in a trunk & run out of snacks.

Hyderabadi Limerick

There was a plump man of Hyderabad
who was known to be quite a tightwad,
but he ate his biryani
and never was scrawny.
He had a Hyderabadi biryani bod-y.

Mind in the Cloud [Limerick]

There was a man who moved into the Cloud,
being the first machine-mind, he was quite proud.
Until someone tripped,
and his switch was flipped.
"Tape that cord down, for cryin' out loud!"

Buffalo Horn Limerick

There was a funny buffalo named Stitches
whose horns bent back like malformed glitches.
"Some horns are for goring
and others for warring,
but mine are for inaccessible itches."

Prospero’s Limerick

There once was a bookish Duke from Milan
who, while distracted, was played for a pawn.
They thought him a twerp
his Dukedom was usurped…
Eventually, brains won out over brawn.

Customer Service Limerick

There once was a customer service rep
who spoke with a smile and great pep.
“That’s not my department,
but prepare for bombardment:
Your refund in twenty-six random steps.”

Columbus Limerick

Praising Columbus is now impolitic.
Truth is, he's considered a bit of a dick.
But you've got to respect
one who -- wholly unchecked --
can rename people & places, and it sticks.
