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

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

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

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

There was a young lady named Bright,
Whose speed was far faster than light.
	She went out one day,
	In a relative way, 
And returned the previous night.
