I have always enjoyed the wit & fun of these little poems & I suddenly thought I bet you forumites might know some good ones or even compose one or two for our entertainment.
Here's one to start with.....
Quoth a comely young lady from Norway
As she hung by her heels in a doorway,
"Although I'm proficient
In arts concupiscent
Thank God, I've discovered one more way."
I think it was collected (or written) by Ray Allen Billington
"The beautiful is as useful as the useful...perhaps more so."

A mosquito was heard to complain
That a chemist had poisoned his brain
The cause of his sorrow
Was paradichloro
Diphenyltrichloroethane.
A well fed rat is a HappyRat 
A smile a day keeps the psychiatrist away.

The limericks I know are so crude,
In fact they're decidedly rude,
So won't play this game,
thanks all the same,
Don't want to be thought of as lewd.

There was a young curate from Kew
Who kept a black cat in a pew
He taught it each week
Alphabetical Greek
But never got further than Mew
A well fed rat is a HappyRat A smile a day keeps the psychiatrist away.

Oh that's all right, I had to look up concupiscent to decide if I was shocked or not....
If you can't be a shining example, be a terrible warning!

There was a young man called Bob
Who landed himself with a job.
He said ' I'm more than willing
To work for a shilling'
They said 'No Bob, next weeks Bob-a-job'.

What did you say, Sue? 
Some people have a way with words, and I love reading poetry in any form, but just can't compose 'em!!
