PICK YOUR FAVORITE IRISH LIMERICK

Celebration!

Welcome to Rogue's Angels Virtual Launch Party!

All month, we are celebrating the release of A St. Patrick's Day Tale by C.L. Kraemer, Genene Valleau, and Christine Young.

Enter to win free ebooks, mobipocket (compatible with Kindle), HTML, and PDF.

For the next four days, we hope you'll join in the fun by picking your favorite.

Today, pick your favorite Irish limerick from the following (and, if you'd like, let us know why that particular limerick).

#1
A macho young swimmer named Dwyer,
Really liked playing with fire.
One night in the dark
He swam with a shark,
And his voice is now two octaves higher.

#2
A bather whose clothing was strewed,
By winds that left her quite nude,
Saw a man come along,
And unless we are wrong,
You expected this line to be lewd.

#3
There was a young lady named Rose
Who had a large wart on her nose.
When she had it removed
Her appearance improved,
But her glasses slipped down to her toes.

  1. I like #3 limerick about a girl named Rose and her glasses slipping down her nose. As someone who is sight challenged, I know the inconvenience of having a pair of spectacles slip down my nose--but none ever dropped to my toes. Congratulations on a fun party!

  2. Vonnie, thanks for stopping by! I can also relate to slipping spectacles. Fortunately, I don't need my glasses to read, so if I get to a steamy scene in a book I won't miss anything. :)

  3. I like #1. ;)
    My mom used to say this as a blessing before a meal and make everyone laugh. It's not a limerick but it's funny.

  4. Hi, Paty! I can see where your mom's "blessing" would bring chuckles to the family. My dad used to sing some slightly off-color ditties to us. I think my mom's raised eyebrow was just because she thought she should--or maybe to hide her own chuckles.

    Thanks for sharing. :)
