    Some gems:

    QUOTE
    There once was a buggy AI
    Who decided her subject should die.
    When the plot was uncovered,
    The subjected discovered
    That sadly the cake was a lie.


    QUOTE
    There once was a girl named Lenore
    And a bird and a bust and a door
    And a guy with depression
    And a whole lot of questions
    And the bird always says "Nevermore."


    QUOTE
    Among all these poems, a few
    of the best recite old jokes anew.
    But there's one I don't see,
    And the reason must be:
    In Russia, the limerick writes you.


    QUOTE
    Our Winston works hard for the State,
    He meets Julia, goes on a date,
    His thoughtcrimes come out,
    He sees rats; turns devout,
    Now he thinks that Big Brother is great.


    QUOTE
    There once was a man named Bertold
    Who drank beer when the weather grew cold
    As he reached for his cup...
    "NEEEEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!!!"
    Oh, snap! You just got limerickrolled!

    I like Fark's own MaxxLarge:

    QUOTE
    On having an earlier limerick bitched about:
    I'm sorry you don't see the need.
    But rather than awkwardly plead,
    Just scroll past the text,
    And check out what's next.
    It's not like I FORCE you to read.


    On Bidet's being recalled because the water was too hot:
    QUOTE
    So what if it's just a bit hotter,
    Once you are done being a squatter?
    If dung were to land
    In the palm of your HAND,
    You'd sure wash it off with hot water.


    On the discovery that testes can produce eggs (apparently dnta):
    QUOTE
    I thought testes did only one thing?
    It seems they grow eggs. That's a fun thing.
    Docs usually cheat
    To make men obsolete.
    At least we are still good for something.


    On a woman being denied liver transplant due to her heavy drinking:
    QUOTE
    The doctor's express diagnosis?
    The final result is cirrhosis.
    He left you a note.
    It reads, and I quote:
    "Stop drinking-improve your prognosis."


    On a couple fighting to overturn a city ordinance banning chickens on private property:
    (sidenote: the headline was "Man boks at obeying city ordinance")
    QUOTE
    If he thinks that chicken pot pies
    And super-fresh wings, legs and thighs,
    Are worth a big brawl
    Down at ol' city hall,
    He's in for a pullet surprise.


    On research indicating that basting meat in booze before grilling can reduce carcinogens that grilling produces:
    QUOTE
    Old age mean you're not feeling frisky?
    Although you've been told that they're risky,
    Beer Brats are the answer
    For killing off cancer!
    And "health food" is beef soaked in whiskey!


    On a suicide pact that fell through... a little late:
    QUOTE
    We'll do it just like we rehearsed,
    Since life took a turn for the worst.
    A shot to the brain
    To end all our pain!
    Still...I'm thinking YOU should go first.


    On the world cosplay summit:
    QUOTE
    Condemn them? Hope nobody hurries.
    They're harmless, and give me no worries.
    Their costumes are cute,
    And creative, to boot.
    Just don't get me started on furries.


    On: "In both cases, the bedcovers -- designed to prevent dust mite particles from reaching sleepers -- reduced exposure to allergy-causing proteins.":
    QUOTE
    This article sure is a scoop.
    'Bout dust mites, I'm now in the loop.
    But, be realistic
    And not euphemistic...
    Those "proteins" are really their poop.


    On a story involving "extra mystery condiments" at a specific pizza place:
    QUOTE
    Hey, I wanna talk to your boss!
    I mean it! I'm desperately cross!
    This pie, I can't face it.
    You're gonna replace it.
    And this time with NO "special sauce."


    That goes back about 3 months, and he's been around for years...

    It seems that the poets have found
    the net can provide common ground.
    But speaking in verse,
    can be quite the curse
    when one thinks of something profound.

    edit:

    I've read too many of these limericks.
    So much so that my mind plays tricks.
    Now everything is read
    with this beat in my head.
    I will need to search for a fix.

    On Clearchannel posting a $3.7B loss:
    I'm usually slow to assault
    Big business by knee-jerk default.
    But all being level,
    Clear Channel's the Devil.
    Let's fill up their wounds with some salt.
