I recently began rereading Isaac Azimov’s “The Foundation Series“. I’ve read it at least four or five times over the years which probably makes me a crazy rabid Azimov fan. Since I’ve lately reintroduced him to my brain, todays post will include a few of his limericks. While he was a prolific writer of books, he was also a lover of all things limerick. In company with a friend and fellow writer, John Ciardi, they’ve written hundreds of limericks both funny and many times a little bawdy. Here are a few to make you smile.

There was a young woman named Betty
Who thought waterbeds rather petty.
The results were less hasty,
She thought, and more tasty,
If one screwed on a plate of spaghetti.

A young nun from Long Beach, California,
Said, “I think it’s important to warnia
That though seeming a saint
I’ve an awful complaint,
I am just getting steadily hornia.”

A certain young man was so deft
That he left his poor girl quite bereft.
He put it in slickly
Then pulled it out quickly
And before she had felt it, he’d left.

The excitement produced by Miss Whipple
Was very much more than a ripple.
She was covered with clothes
From her head to her toes
Save for delicate holes at each nipple.
