there once was a young man named tim
who drove his car with a great deal of vim
he was often found
covering ground

i had no clue what “vim” might be when i was little…
A history grad student, Marta,
mis-clicked as she browsed on Encarta.
Instead of King Midas,
there appeared Leonidas –
“Phrygia? Madame, THIS IS SPARTA!”
Little Johnny took a drink,
But alas he drinks no more.
For what he thought was H2O
Was H2SO4
Not really a limerick, but I like it anyway.
i love the person who posted the sulfuric acid limerick! i loved that in highschool chem!
there once was a man from nantucket..
there’s another retrovertigo?
I thought I had picked an original. Oh well.
I’m always fascinated by the lettering and choice of font on these tattoos. It’s so sharp.
A gourmet dining at Crewe
Found a rather large mouse in his stew.
Said the waiter, “Don’t shout
And wave it about,
Or the rest will be wanting one, too.”
Hahah thats awesome, I love the sparta one :)
Tis weird that you say nipper too, I thought that was an isle of wight thing and i’m pretty sure you’re not from here :p
There was a young lady from Eiling
Who had a perculier feeling
She lay on her back
Then opened her………
Nipper?
There once was a man named Lou
Who lost his old green shoe
How he did shout
And throw things about
For he’d lost the other one too!
I love limericks. That tattoo made me laugh.
mmm einstein.
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don’t make sense
Refrigerator
y/y
Amazing!
I am a sucker for text tattoos.
Especially relative science ones!
Nipper it means child/adolescant usually meaning boy though I’ve been called over with “ere nipper” on occaision.
Funny nobody has mentioned anything about Relativity and the meaning of the poem. :)
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, ‘It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!’
I can now see why you don’t like hair. Roo! lol jk jk….
A cheery young gardener named Moe
Accidentally chopped off his toe.
The family beagle
Swiftly and eagle-
Y swallowed it down in one go!

My cousin wrote one about our dog danny the other night. Hes badly behaved:
There once was a spaniel called danny,
whos behaviour was rather uncanny
he liked to chase cats
but sadly got scratched
and now he just sniffs at my fanny.
I found it rather amusing..hes a very strange dog.
The once was a man from china
Who wasn’t a very good climber
He slipped on a rock
And banged his cock
And now he has a vagina
=D
endless source of amusement in school they were!
this is clever, i really like it.
Got this one from an English lecture:
In the garden of Eden lay Adam
Enjoying a chat with his madam
And great was his mirth
For on all of this Earth
There were only two balls and he had them.
Brilliant :D
There was a young fellow called Quinn
Who was so excessively thin
That when he essayed
To drink lemonade
He slipped through the straw and fell in.
I always heard the chemistry one as:
Susie was in chemistry
But susies is no more
For what she thought was H2O was H2SO4
Also, I really like that limerick. Nerdiness rocks!
Hahah thats clever. I like it
There was a young lady named Riger,
who rode on the back of a tiger.
They returned from the ride
with the lady inside
and a smile on the face of the tiger
