12A limerick of classic proportion
13should have meter and rhyme and a portion
14	of humor quite lewd,
15	and a frightfully crude,
16impossible sexual contortion.

21A limerick is best when it's lewd,
22gross, titillating and crude --
23	but this one is clean, 
24	unless you are seen
25reading it aloud in the nude.

30I wanted to print here a medley
31of limericks so gross they were deadly, 
32	but when the typesetter tried
33	to set them, he died;
34(not to mention my editor, Smedly.)

39I have written some limericks quite fateful, 
40malicious and vicious and hateful;
41	but I've torn up the jokes 
42	that will sicken most folks,
43and humanity ought to be grateful.
