Limericks allow writers to express themselves in a lighthearted and witty manner in a world that too often, too serious.

Most limericks are written by the common man.

A world famous Hollywood actress
Played best in a role of malefactress
     Yet her home life for sure
     Was anything but pure
As a scandal or ten she did practice.

And here’s one by a not so common person, author Isaac Asimov.

Said a certain old lecher named Day,
“If my good wife would but go away,
     I’d locate a young lass,
     And then let the world pass,
And I’d do what comes natural and play.”
