You wanted a new topic. If you don't like that one, how about "clean limericks involving Nantucket."

From others

there once was a guy from Nantucket
who used to drink from a bucket
one day he got ill
from the ungodly swill
so he said, i think i'll just chuck it!

There was a young man from Nantucket
Whose d*** was so long he could suck it
Said he with a grin
As he wiped off his chin
"If my ear was a c*** I could f*** it!"

Robert Hayes

"A 'Nantucket' limrick," said he,
"must, of necessity, be
obscene and perverse
or else the verse
Will simply not form a limrick at all; either the meter or the rhyme will screw it up. Try it. You just can't make a clean limrick about Nantucket. Physically impossible. So face the inevitable and throw in a few dirty words or an off-color illusion, or something."

Eric Witte

In Pawtucket, that town near Nantucket
They have batters lame by the bucket
Though the tickets were free
You would never find me
Being bored by "The next Kirby Puckett."

There is a young girl from Nantucket
Who when given a bushel will shuck it
All the husks will fly fast
And whoever goes past
Had better be ready to duck it.

"D. Forman"

My borderline example...

On Mr. Natural's junket to Nantucket
to write some sonnets at sunset,
he couldn't make "limerick"
sound anything like "slime lick",
and clucked, "Aw, Keep On Truck It!"

And a Non-Nantucket-er

A limerick packs laughs anatomical
into a space that is quite economical
but the good ones it seems
so seldom are clean
and the clean ones so seldom are comical.

More Meta-Limericks

There was a young man from Japan
Whose limericks just ran and ran
When people asked why
He said with a sigh
"Because I try to fit as much in the last line as I possibly can."
