Limericks are
held as a true folk form of poetry and literature. They were
largely popularized in English literature and were used by great
literary artists like Shakespeare. The form is essentially
transgressive and violates the taboos of traditional poetry as
apart of its function. Limericks are witty like funny poems and
humorous with wordplay.
Limericks are short and simple, commonly
nonsensical poems with their origins in 14th century
England in English pubs. The poems were filled with bawdy humor
and eventually found its way in children poems and nursery
rhymes, largely due to the satire limericks by Edward Lear of
the Victorian times. Limericks are often found in the following
themes: love poems, drinking songs, poems on national affairs,
and satire on public figures.

Do you have a humorous soul and a love for just a good chipper laugh? Limericks are the antidote. These poems are short and simple and commonly nonsensical, but for the right audience create a smile on anyone’s face. Limericks have been known to bring people together to enjoy a good laugh and have some good old folk form fun. The dubious history of limerick Poetry goes as far back as fourteenth century England’s pubs, filled with bawdy humor, poems for children and nursery rhymes. You will even find limericks in some of Shakespeare’s work such as “Othello and King Lear.” Limericks are just plain fun. If it were not for Limericks we wouldn’t have some of our most treasured works, such as “Humpty Dumpty” or “Ring Around The Rosy” or some of our beloved Irish folk songs like, “My Old Man’s A Dustman” or “Any Old Iron.” So enjoy some of our collections of funny limericks of a broad range for all ages.
Limericks were popular and spread through
the English country side and even Shakespeare used them in his
works. Many short humorous lyrics have their history base on
limericks. They are often just nonsensical
funny poems.
“A man hired by John Smith and Co.
Loudly declared that he’d tho.
Men that he saw
Dumping dirt near his door
The drivers, therefore, didn’t do.”
-Mark Twain
