Ride on a bike that has no sprocket,
And drink from a well that has no bucket.
A Tockless Tick.
A brand new Limerick
That does not say "Nantucket."
(Response from B. Wicket)
It isn't a limerick. Chuck it.
And maybe out there in the muck it
will remind versifiers
that this form requires
the use of at least one "Nantucket." B.W.
A young whistleblower named Snowden,
concerned with what he was downloadin',
wound up on a flight
with a lone Samsonite
and no country for it to be stowed in. Stan Beck
He was out in the rain with his kite,
on a stormy, tumultuous night,
I'm Ben Franklin he said,
and would get, even dead,
a great charge out of proving I'm right. Jess Wright
(without Nantucket)
In Los Alamos men on a mission,
were harnessing nuclear fission,
A deterent, they said,
hanging over our head,
would help us to learn inhibition. Merrill Lee Rowe
(with Nantucket)
An elderly chap from Nantucket
stuck butter knives into a socket,
his pacemaker freaked,
his blood pressure peaked,
and a pistol showed up in his pocket. B. Wicket

Send your original limericks to poetsrebrunswick@gmail.com for inclusion here... remembering we're a family site and and bawdy references must go over the heads of minors. Which I don't even know if that's possible anymore.
