Okay, for those who don't know Limericks go like this:

A Limerick has 5 lines. Lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme with each other. Lines 3 and 4 rhyme with each other, but not 1, 2 and 5.

Here's my first attempt:

There was a composer named Basil Poledouris,
Who would sometimes use a choras,
He would Robocop,
At any movie he would not stop,
Just so he could buy a new Taurus.

Da DA da da da da da DA
Da DA da da da da da DA
Da DA da da DA
Da da DA da da DA
Da Da DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DAAA! (at which we all fall about laughing at the level of wit and invention).

Here's an example (my all -time favourite limerick):

Here's one for Justin -

There was a young man of Japan

Who wrote verses that never would scan

When folk told him so,

He replied: "yes, I know,

But I always try and get as many words into the last line as I possibly can."

That's right Marian. It's 8, 9, 6, 6, 10.

Here's an example (my all -time favourite limerick):

There was an old man from Ealing
Who had an unusual feeling.
But a sign on the door,
Said "Don't spit on the floor"
So he looked up and spat at the ceiling.

There's a raunchier version of that which Hugh Grant recites in Bridget Jones' Diary....
