(hplvle.4600001) net.jokes : Limericks?

       There was a young man from Purdue
       Whose limericks stopped at line two.


   Or the corollary:

       There was a sweet girl from Verdun.



 {Almost, but not quite, completely unlike anything you've ever seen before.}

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

     There's one novice netter (or more)
     Who thinks we have never before
     Heard the stop at line one
     Or the one at two done --
     My God, not again, I implore!


     We'd better all head for the hills
     Before net dot joke overfills
     With limericks old
     And recently told --
     For this is the traffic that kills.

Seriously, we had literally thousands of limericks only a couple of months
ago (I was an offender myself).  Maybe someone could offer to send canonical
lists of limericks (there seem to be quite a number of such lists here and
there) by mail to people who are interested ??
