The man who made limericks popular apparently sucked at them

Eddie Lear made a whole lot of money,
With his limericks rather unfunny,
Just repeating, not rude,
Not quite clever or crude,
And his rhymes not particularly punny
They are like badly told jokes that lack a punchline, or any sort of clever worldplay. They just state that someone is from somewhere, that they do something that’s not even that bizarre, and then that they are indeed still from the place that was originally indicated.
Article on Edward lear
I’m certainly glad his formula was improved upon.
I like this one
quote:
The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical
. But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

I love Edward Lear. He was a kind, intelligent man.

A lot of people suck at poetry and don’t realize it.

Twas once a man named fr33manator
Whose rhymes often need a translator
His poems usually suck
Very few give a frick
And his threads, quite the agitator

Imagine if you and Kafka had a baby,
If it was a girl, her name would be Tracey
She’d post here for fun,
As for pics, there’d be none
And we’d all PIIHB

Who liked to date men in sombreros,
She was built like a truck,
And she smelled like a buck,
But hey, least she wasn’t from Darrow.

Ode to Sixty-Nine
There once was a little man in a boat
Much attention to him did I devote
My efforts were rewarded
By affections quite sordid
Finishing up deep in her throat

For a limerick to be good, they should be at the very least a little crude.

There once was a man named Rick
Who was cursed to live with a corkscrew dick
His entire life was spent on a hunt
To find a woman with a spiral count
But the day he found her ole Rick dropped dead
Good God almighty it was left hand threads
