Okay, das war ein moderner Limerick; versuchen wir mal was Klassisches:

I once met a gal from Kilkenny

she drunk one Whiskey, if any

Met her in the pub

and she gave me the shrub:

She said, she would love me like any.

I once met a gal here at Yahoo!

she said she's just doing like I do

After we had a talk

and went down for a walk

She said, Ebay's more like her Voodoo.

I once met with Jim Beam,

he said, hey, Scotty, you're just like him!

And we had a talk, and

(you guess it!)

a Limerick of beer:

The Irish Pub didn't seem just as queer.

And one for Kilkenny,

and one for a mile,

Guinnes will taste just as fine.

And one for the lessons,

and one for the teachers,

Limerick's're fine, but just won't reach us.

One for the desktop, one for the show,

and one below the table you just don't know.
