Martin, it is quite permissible to link the limericks, but that may cut down on your chances of winning for a single limerick. I am quite unable to match what you have all . I posted a rude limerick by Robert Conquest which is ALMOST relevant on the thread about parody, which, when I think of it, wasn't really the place to put it.

John,
Well, I've got a number of them but I'm still working on which to send. What do you think the Speccie's preferences run to re: lewd, filthy, risque, or....not?
If you don't mind my asking. Naturally only one of mine is filthy. The others are merely suggestive.
Molte grazie!
Terese
PS It may be unfair to ask questions whose answers are known only to the cognoscenti, so never mind...

I think I would avoid the filth - at least in Spectator Competitions. But I hope you'll share it with us. Please go and look at the Conquest limerick I put .. hell I've forgotten where I put it. It goes like this. Actually there are two. I would judge them too filthy for the Speccie. But not for us. And quite masterly.
AT THE ZOO
There was plenty of good-natured chaff
When I popped in to fuck the giraffe,
And the PRZS
Could hardly suppress
A dry professorial laugh.
When I came back to roger the gnu
I was scarcely delayed coming through,
and the staff - most polite -
cried, “please stay overnight”,
It’s a privilege granted to few.

Your last one I think probably takes the prize here on the 'sphere at least. It has a certain star quality about it. I, for one, concede defeat...

Thanks, Philip! It must be in my genes.  Or maybe I'm just more obsessed than you are! But your limericks are quite interesting, too. And I enjoyed reading them.
