Hamlet’s Revenge [Limerick]

A befuddled Prince from Denmark's Elsinore
 was asked by his dad's ghost to even a score:
  "Old Claude poisoned my ear,
   wed (-n- shtupped) my wife, dear.
 So, please ensure that he lives, Nevermore!"

Skink Limerick

The reptile known as the Five-Lined Skink
 is silent, but not as covert as you'd think.
   From the front end it blends,
   but its bright blue back end
 catches the eye no matter how slowly it slinks.

Traveling Salesman Limerick

A man who sold marital aids door to door
  heard from a husband in an uproar.
   "An 'aid' for whom?
   It can't be the groom.
 Your product has three speeds, so I now need four."  

Duty-Free Limerick

There once was a lazy sales clerk 
 who didn’t want clients to think her a jerk.
  The solution, you see, 
  was the airport duty-free,
 where there’d be no obligation to work.
 [And the salary would be a nice perq.]

Limerick of Confucius

The great Chinese philosopher Confucius
 wrote in maxims to avoid being circumlocutious.
   [That's a word that absurdly
   describes being wordy.]
 Be like Confucius, not like this verbose doofus. 

Hannah Arendt Limerick

The philosopher Hannah Arendt
 said, don't define us by how we make rent.
   like Dopey and Sneezy
   and George's wife "Weezy"
 one should be known for how public time is spent.

Idealist Limerick

The philosopher known as George Berkeley
 denied the existence of all matter, curtly.
   Still, when he wanted pie,
   he wouldn't be denied,
  but made sure he ate it covertly.

Jung Limerick

There was a psychiatrist named Jung
 who thought the Unconscious was far-flung --
  like Sandman's "The Dreaming"
  that you've seen on streaming:
 farfetched and fictional -- with heroes, unsung.

Freud Limerick

There once was a psychiatrist named Freud 
 who thought all were obsessed with filling a void...
   a void in the pants!
   Though some looked askance,
 and those whose cigars weren't cigars were annoyed.

Estonia Limerick

There was a soft-spoken jeweler from Estonia
 who often worked in cubic zirconia.
  He'd never tell a lie,
  but came across quite shy,
 Some thought they'd got the best deal in Estonia.
