Anti-limericks.

A government agent named XXXXXXX
Would XXXXXX at XXXXX and XXXXX.
He was XXXXXXXXX
For failure to clear
Limericks with his superiors.

There once was a poet named Stein
Whose limericks repeated a line.
Though it was redundant,
Though it was redundant,
His limericks repeated a line.

A clever young poet named Stan
Wrote limericks that rambled and ran.
When told it was so
He replied, “Yes, I know.
But I always try to fit as many words into that last line as I possibly can.”

A cardiac patient named Fred
Made a limerick up in his head.
But before he had time
To write down the last line

There once was a poet from Purdue
Whose limericks would end at line two.

A poet named Mister Magee
Wrote limericks that stopped at line three
And would not go further.

There once was a man from Lahore
Whose limericks stopped at line four.
When asked why this was,
He replied, “Just because.”

There was a young man from Verdun

who wrote down his notes on papyrus
No one knew if he lied
Or how many had died
for his jots were all down in glyphys heiros
