Limericks!

My english teacher assigned me a homework in which we have to write a nonsense poem (in the fashion of The Jabberwocky) making fun of a genre of poems. I chose Limericks. Here's mine.

There once was a boy from Calcutta
Who munchled a fludge from Chibzutta
He was quite ferderglown
The dumb nit shoulda known
That fludges go better with butta.

The whole point of the assignment was to show that sound can have meaning apart from the words that they form.

1. That man in the White House, you see...

What a fleebditzen ploober is he
He glub his own fnibble
slive his klorg till it zizzled
While claiming to make Iraq free. (Or at least reasonably priced).

Thank you, thank you. Don't applaud, just throw money, I have taxes to pay.

5. OK, I'll start this one off with a disclaimer:

I was raised in Massachusetts, lived most of my life there. But you know, being from Massachusetts--or more specifically, being a Red Sox fan--we learned the fine art of self-deprecation. 'Cause you know, sometimes things are so sad you just have to laugh about them.

That being said, I read this one in a bathroom stall in Holyoke, MA many years ago. It's the only limerick I've ever been able to remember:

There once was a Senator from Mass
Who went out for a nice piece of ass
He finally found it
And fucked up and drowned it
And now he's a thing of the past.

:D hahahaha.....waaaaaaaaah! :cry:
