Poetry: Limericks

by Russell Grimes

Created on: March 09, 2009

THE LIMERICK

It's a verse that is bawdy in jest

Written foully and part anapest

You may keep the meter

But say the word peter

And your article's under arrest

For this Site will condone not one word

With four letters that speaks of the BIRD

So put down your digit

Do not * but PORK Bridget

Yes, such censure is surely absurd

Darn, this circumlocution is odd

For the CONTENT still reeks of a BAWD

But the four letter word

Will remain as unheard

And our HELIUM censors as GOD

It's a FAMILY site don't you know

You can STILL say dumb WHORE and HOE

But say the word *

And you're sure out of luck

I don't get it but maybe I'm SLOW!
