Post a funny limerick here, please not too dirty.
limericks are five line poems where the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other, with the same number of syllables--usually 9 or 7. The third and fourth lines rhyme with each other, and contain fewer syllables than the other three--either 6 or 4 usually.
They have a common format/cadence. It is easier just to hear one. You will get the idea.
A remarkable bird is the pelican, his bill can hold more than his belican. In his beak, he can keep enough food for a week, and I'm darned if I know how the helican.

There once was an enchanted cello That was painted in three shades of yellow It sang and it wept And it cried till it slept 'Cos its bow wouldn't let it just bellow

There once was a quilt like no other, that instead of warm it would smother. Deadly heirloom for sure, its evil quite pure. Beware and dont run for its cover.

At first I thought you knew it all. At second I found you a know-it-all. After further confusion, I came to the conclusion, that you were neither, but merely a Nowall.
No offense meant, Robert. Thanks for posting an interesting limerick.

"There's a train at 4:04," said miss Jenny, "Four tickets I'll take; have you any?" Said the man at the door, "Not four for 4:04, for four for 4:04 is too many."
"Not enough tickets for 4:04? Oh my, what a bore." So, online she went, with a traveling bent. But all she got was error 404.
