Limericks are the best. I’ve been reading them for years and writing a great many of my own. My limerick archives go all the way back to 1879. I did discover that posting some of those really old ones requires a bit of a rewrite. Some of the profanities back then were just gratuitous and actually detracted from the overall entertainment value. I may have softened the language a little but they’re still a fun read. Todays selections are related specifically to younger women. Don’t complain to me about the content, the people who wrote these have been dead a very long time.

💥

A bather whose clothing was strewed

By winds that left her quite nude,

Saw a man come along,

And unless we are wrong

You expected this line to be lewd. (1944)

💥💥

A lady athletic and handsome

Got wedged in her sleeping room transom.

When she offered much gold

For release, she was told

That the view was worth more than the ransom. (1944)

💥💥💥

There was a young maid from Madras

Who had a magnificent ass;

Not rounded and pink,

As you’d probably think,

It was gray, had long ears, and ate grass. (1940)

I’m tempted to post a few of my own limericks but unfortunately they’re very rude and sexual explicit. I may rewrite them someday but not today. Instead I offer up a rather lame poem of mine written about my first sexual experience, to show all of you what a freaking romantic I’m not. LOL

💖PUPPY LOVE💖

First love is a thrill you never forget,

It sends a warmth through your heart.

Sixty years later the memory remains,

but the feelings have fallen apart.

How to recall those wonderful days,

when the freshness of things made you wish,

For the love a girl with beautiful hair,

in a field, all alone…

Do you smell fish?

😍😍😍

I feel like celebrating today due primarily to four consecutive days with no rain and being able to sleep at night without an electric blanket. It’s mid-June and winter keeps trying to hang on and I’m sick of it. Here are four moderately suggestive limericks I would rate at PG-13. Keep the kids away while you read them. Let’s get started.

💥

There once was a horny old witch
With a motorized dildo which
She would use with delight
All day and into the night
Twenty bucks at Abercrombie and Fitch.

💥💥

Nymphomaniacal Alice
Used a dynamite stick for a phallus.
They found her vagina
In North Carolina,
And her ass-hole in Buckingham Palace

💥💥💥

There was a young woman of Croft
Who played with herself in a loft,
Having reasoned that candles
Would never cause scandals,
Besides which it never went soft.

💥💥💥💥

An agreeable young girl named Miss Doves
Likes to masturbate the men that she loves.
She’ll use her bare fist
If the fellows insist
But she really prefers to wear gloves.

🤪🤪🤪

C’MON SUMMER

I’d like once again to share some lovely poetry by the worlds children. These poems are sweet and heartfelt which isn’t unusual when written by the pure of heart. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. The topic for today is PEOPLE.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

By Peter Shelton, Age 10, Australia

The children are singing,

their mouths open like sleepy fish.

Our teacher conducting the class

waves her arms

like a rhyme in water.

The girls sing high:

our ears ring for the sweetness.

Listeners stand in dazzling amazement.

✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻

By Stephie Silon, Age 10, United States

An empty bed

No arguments

No one to come home to

And all is dark

In day and night

I am all alone.

✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻

By David Amey, Age 10, England

My Uncle Jack collects door knobs;

Door knobs here, door knobs there

Door knobs simply everywhere;

Six on the window, twelve on the door

There’s hardly room for any more;

Door knobs on the light switch and the wall,

My Uncle Jack has got them all;

Blue ones, green ones, yellow one and red

And a row of gray ones on the bottom of his bed.

CHIC

Everyone loves music of one sort or another and I’m no different. Unfortunately I think 50% of the music being made today is garbage. I may be considered a music snob but I only like GOOD MUSIC. I like some Heavy Metal, some R&B, some Opera, some Disco, and even some Rap, as long as it’s good. Today’s post will add to your trivia knowledge of the music business. If you’re just a casual music fan you may not be aware of a lot of the facts I’m going to list but that’s what’s so great about music, it’s all about personal preferences.

  • It is estimated that the “Happy Birthday to You” song earns Warner Music up to $5000 in royalties per day.
  • The bass player and co-lead singer of the band Kiss was named Chaim Witz.
  • John Denver’s real name was Henry John Deutschendorf Jr.
  • Leo Fender, inventor of the Telecaster, Stratocaster, and Precision Bass guitars, could not play the guitar.
  • Rolling Stone magazine twice listed Jimi Hendrix as the number one greatest guitar player of all time.
QUEEN
  • Brian May, lead guitarist for the band Queen, also had a PhD in astrophysics.
  • The song “Le Freak” by the band Chic, was the first song to hit number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart three separate times.
  • Madonna, with 38 singles, followed by Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson, had the most top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
  • Mike Nesmith the famous member of the made-for-television band The Monkees also invented Liquid Paper the popular correction fluid.
  • The Village People once advertised for members with a personal ad requesting: Wanted: Macho Types, Must Dance and Have a Mustache.
JIMI HENDRIX

I’ve always been attracted to graveyards. There’s no better place to paint, sketch or write than the peaceful quietness of a graveyard. It’s one of the few places still left where someone can go and relax without interferences from the rest of the living human race. I once lived in a city called Lakeville in Massachusetts and for many years I was known far and wide by the police departments and many citizens as someone who was consistently haunting local graveyards. In the Plymouth area there are still tombstones from the 1600’s with some truly bizarre epithets and poetry. I just takes a little time and dedication to find them. Todays post will contain what some people would consider morbid information and that’s true, it is a little morbid but it’s still interesting. Being the kind and generous soul that I am, I’m willing to share.

😵😵😵

  • “Haircut!” Last words of famous gangster Albert Anastasia in 1957 while getting a trim.
  • “Smite my womb.” Spoken by Agrippina, mother of Nero, to the assassins sent to kill her by her son.
  • “The strongest.” Uttered by Alexander the Great when asked who should succeed him.
  • “The executioner is, I believe, an expert . . . and my neck is very slender. Oh God, have pity on my soul, . . . ” as she was beheaded.
  • “I hope so.” Stated by Andrew Carnegie, steel magnet and philanthropist, to his wife who’d just wished him a good night:

Epithets

Burlington, Massachusetts

Sacred to the memory of Anthony Drake,

Who died for peace and quietness sake;

His wife was constantly scolding and scoffin’,

So he sought for repose in a twelve dollar coffin.

Whitingham, Vermont

Brigham Young

Born on this spot

1801

A man of great courage

and superb equipment.

Skaneateles, New York

Underneath this pile of stones

Lies all that’s left of Sally Jones,

Her name was Briggs, it was not Jones,

But Jones was used to rhyme with stones.

Now that Easter has come and gone, things can get back to normal (scary thought). What better way to follow up an Easter celebration than with a posting of a few rude and borderline bawdy limericks. I would rate these four limericks PG because I certainly wouldn’t want to shock any of those innocent children out there as well as the many prudes who love to comment on them. Here we go.

💥

There was a young man of Missouri

Who screwed with a terrible fury,

Till hauled into court

For his bestial sport,

And condemned by a poorly hung jury.

💥💥

There was a young fellow named Bill

Who swallowed an atomic pill.

His navel corroded,

His asshole exploded,

And they found his nuts in Brazil.

💥💥💥

And then there the story that’s fraught

With disaster – of balls that got caught,

When the chap took a crap

In the woods, and a trap

Underneath . . .Oh, I can’t bear the thought!

💥💥💥💥

There was a lady golfer named Duff

With a lovely, luxuriant muff.

In his haste to get in her

One eager beginner

Lost both of his balls in the rough.

I don’t know about you, but the last week of news seems to have taken over any and all discussions about everything. Today is as good a day as any for a break from the landslide of BS from the liberal left. I’ll supply all of you with some bawdy humor to take the edge off of all the whining and crying I’ve been hearing. Turmoil is exactly what this government needs but we mustn’t let them destroy our sense of humor along with it. If these jokes make anyone smile then that’s a “mission success” for me.

It was his wedding night, and the minister finished undressing in the bathroom and walked into the bedroom. He was surprised to see that his bride had already slipped between the sheets. “My dear,” he said, “I thought I would find you on your knees.” She said, “Well, honey, I can do it that way too, but it gives me the hiccoughs.”

👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻

Here’s one for my fellow retirees.

***

So, this elderly couple were sitting in their tiny flat on the lower east side when the husband said, “Doris, we’re in bad shape. Inflation has eaten up our Social Security check. The next one isn’t due until next week and we’ve got no money for food.” “Could I do anything to help?” she asked. “Yes” he said. “I hate to see you do this but it’s the only way. You’re going to have to go out and hustle your ass on the street.” “Me?” she said. “At the age of sixty-five?” “It’s the only way,” he said. Resigned to the situation, she went out into the hot night. She came staggering early the next morning. “How did you do?” asked the husband. “Here,” she said, “I’ve got four dollars and ten cents.” “Four dollars and ten cents,” he said. “Who gave you the ten cents?” “Everybody,” she exclaimed.

👮🏻‍♀️👮🏻‍♀️👮🏻‍♀️

And finally, one for our law enforcement community.

***

A bobby from Nottingham Junction

Whose organ had long ceased to function.

Deceived his good wife

for the rest of her life

With the aid of his constable’s truncheon.

03/20/2025 “KID POETS”   Leave a comment

I thought today I’d share a few samples of poetry written by children. I love good poetry, but it seems to me that the poems written by the young are much more genuine that some of the not-so-wonderful professional poets. I prefer simple and beautiful poetry like the following. The subject of these poems is SUMMER.

❣️

By Gillian Sellers, Age 9, England

Summer is golden,

Summer is green,

The freshly cut grass.

Down, down, down, we go, from the peak of the hill,

ROLLING

❣️❣️

By Margaret Bendig, Age 10, United States

Inviting rippling waters

Waiting for little toes

Hurry, go get changed!

❣️❣️❣️

By Ian Johnson, Age 9, New Zealand

Lying in the sun

In midsummer

Looking at a blue sheet

Of happiness.

Only a breath of wind

To spoil it.

❣️❣️❣️❣️

By Susan Foreman. Age 7, United States

The grass is a rug for the trees to

dance upon;

The branches of the trees are arms

Gracefully pointing to the blue-pillowed sky,

Waiting for a partner.

❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

03/13/2025 “WORD PLAY”   1 comment

I ‘ve always enjoyed writing this blog because along with the fun interaction with readers I’m forced to continue my education into the use and misuse of the English language. Needless to say, after reading many of the somewhat illiterate emails I receive it’s obvious that more English needs to be taught at all levels of our education system and those of nearby countries. I suppose it would probably help a lot if the English language was mandated as the official language of this country, but until then my advice for potential legal immigrants is to learn passable conversational English and then go through the legal processes put in place to make you a future citizen. Unfortunately, that’s a subject for another day because today’s post is about WORDS.

  • Dr. Seuss is credited with the first use of the word “Nerd”.
  • The word “Geek” comes from the German word “geck” which means fool.
  • Another classier word for “stripper” is ecdysiast.
  • The longest made-up word in the Oxford English Dictionary is “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis”

  • In 1972 comedian George Carlin was arrested during a performance for publicly speaking seven unacceptable words: shit, piss, f*ck, c*nt, c**ksucker, motherf**ker, and tits. (I cleaned them up for all of you delicate types)
  • Only oysters, shellfish, and clams can be “shucked”.
  • There are 15 three letter words starting with the letter “Z”: zag, zap, zas, zax, zed, zee, zek, zep, zig, zin, zip, zit, zoa, zoo, and zuz. (That may help your Scrabble game)
  • The toughest tongue twister in the English language is “The sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep is sick.”
  • The word “earthling” was first used in Science Fiction in Robert Heinlein’s 1949 novel Red Planet.
