There once was a Knight named Sir Bill
Who couldn’t get out of the Chill
For in New York it is cold,
It made him grow old,
and trade in his sword for a quill!

Since it’s passed midnight, we’ll give you a couple more funnies we came up with. Boy, was this fun and so hard to stop once you get on a roll!

There once was a knight named Sir Bill
Whose armor caused him often to spill
One night at the table
He soaked rich Aunt Mabel
Who promptly took him out of her will.

There once was a knight named Sir Bill
Who had 32 kids with wife Jill
He homeschooled them all
The youngest was Paul
Who’s now Head of Kings College, Seville.

There once was a knight named Sir Bill
His best attribute was his iron will
When the battle arose
He valiantly took on his foes
Now a statue honors him on yon hill.

Thanks for putting together the contest! It’s been tons of fun for our family!!

There once was a night named Sir Bill
Who sat secluded upon a hill
With tears in his eyes
For years he had cried
Repentant of his selfish will

Maybe it is obvious that I am not a poet but I had fun trying to create a limerick thanks for the challenge.

Hi all, I think this contest is fantastic first of all, and second of all I think the notion of having everyone vote on the limericks is great — but, you know, being the character of questionable nature that I am, I was just wondering about exactly how the judging is going to go down, and what prevents me from doing a few sneaky deeds in my own favor. Such as… voting for myself for instance? Honestly guys, I love myself, I really do. Orrrr, if you were to outlaw that, if I were very sneaky indeed – who, me? – I might just be inclined to vote for a post that I knew was unlikely to win, simply for the purpose of taking votes away from my nearest competitors. Heh heh, I mean, I’m sure there’s no one that sneaky among us, right? Right? Hey, who are you looking at?

There once was a knight named Sir Bill
Who spent each night sleepless until
He fought a duel with the Night
And knocked out all its daylights
With Bill’s Knightly Knock-out Sleeping Pills.

Please consider this entry for the contest , and just enjoy my other entry.

There once was a knight named Sir Bill
The thought of living in Spain had it’s thrill
He left home at age twelve
And into swordplay he delved
That’s why Zorro’s ex-name is Sir Bill

These are awesome guys! Keep ‘em coming!

I made up a limerick in my head a few years back, and it just so happens to fit the first line of our limerick contest! Not that I’m entering in or anything, but here’s my story of our friend Sir Bill.

There once was a knight named Sir Bill
Who loved to eat his fill
He piled up his plate
And ate, and ate
Then said, “Pass the beans if you will!”

Cheese. Totally cheese.

There once was a knight named Sir Bill
Who was knighted against his wife’s will
The king sent him to war
But he ran home before
He would suffer the wrath of Mrs. Bill.
