Limericks

A growing collection. One shows up at random on the homepage.

#1 There was an old man who was tired He dreamt he got rich and retired But then morning came He woke up the same So he dressed up for work, as required.
#2 There once was a job that was done by a guy Who thought he would never be replaced by AI If only he knew All AI had to do Was to see the world through his eye.
#3 Now just as the Sun was going to set I went for a walk, and wanted to get real close to the sea. 'twas just her and me. And that's how I got my feet wet.
#4 In Hamburg arrived an old man Who put everything in a <span> Said his wife: "Please forgive, "But why not use a <div>?" And that's how the trouble began.
#5 There was a young fellow who wanted to sleep And went to bed eager to start counting sheep But lying in bed Eyelids heavy as lead He... wrote this stupid limerick instead.
#6 He's a jack of all trades and a master of none He liked risky bets - some he lost, some he won But now that he's older And his heart is colder He wants to go sailing and follow the sun.
#7 There once was a young, handsome man on a train With nothing but dominant seventh chords on his brain. He wanted to hear them, Spell them and feel them. And that's how he grew ugly, old and insane.
#8 There was a young man from Brazil With some special knowledge and skill He worked overtime Mixing sugar and lime And I'm sure now you know how I feel.
#9 It's the time I have spent over such books and bits (And its merit alone for me gathering my wits) That's the reason I know (Unlike your average Joe) When to use "it's" and when to use "its".
