An eccentric and senile old judge
Has an intense weakness for fudge
His verdict once reached
It should not be breached
But one nudge with some fudge and he’ll budge
There once was a fellow named Mowat
Who was known as a famous poet
But his verse was bizarre
Strictly for the tsar
The plain folks would never know it
There once was a gal named Mandy
She thought that candy was dandy
With such a sweet tooth
At her kissing booth
It was known that candy was handy
A man who claimed to be a Norse
Was seen to fall off his horse
It was then he declared
If some of you cared
You’d help me get back on of course
There once was a dolly named Polly
She came with her own little brolly
She could smile and speak
She could even squeak
But Polly’s price was pure folly
There once was a fellow named Wong
He wanted to write his own song
This he did at last
But he was aghast
When he saw that each note was wrong
There’s a boy who sits on a stool
He plays with his favourite tool
It’s some kind of wrench
He found in a trench
He would like to use it in school
There once was a lad from Vancouver
He wanted to be a mover
He was fast and strong
It did not take long
For him to learn every manoeuvre
There once was a fellow named Tang
He liked to smoke as he sang
But the smoke made him high
And his audience cry
Because when Tang sang their ears rang
A warrior whom all ought to fear
Came into town for a beer
While he was at the bar
The king declared war
And the warrior did shake his spear
I'm so glad I got back to read this! Makes my day a bit more jolly.
BTW, I have a great recipe for Fudge, if your ever in need :o)

Is it possible to write a limerick that doesn't make us smile? I suppose it is if one violates the tradition of the limerick, but you stick to it and amuse us. :-) Thank you.
There once was a poet named Regis
His Limericks had made him prestigious
His words always rhymed
his language sublime
There certainly were none egregious
Laughter is medicine to the heart and Regis what a powerful gift, you have caused me to laugh today.. Much appreciated, may the Lord continue to bless and prosper you!
These poems are so much fun to read. You always write them so well, and this reads so smoothly. Perfect rhymes and rhythm.

Wow. This is so creative and entertaining all through. Very wise.
Had so much fun reading it, laughed with it. Great talent of yours.
Loved it very much... Be blessed.
was the Warrior an English bard by the name of William, by any chance?!!! This reads like A Comedy Of Errors, though the author certainly has his wits about him! You are unbeatable in this genre, Regis, and I'm beginning to wonder if you can STOP thinking in lyrics of limmericks now you are so hooked! I think they're addictive - at least, when I read them I immediately start to try to formulate them (unsuccessfully!) in my own head! Hats off again in a deep bow of appreciation. xx
Thank you Reg, you have made me smile on this Mother's day weekend. Thank you so very much. Every one of these are great and humorous, and lifts the spirits. I can tell you that I was very down until I read these. Thank you for letting me smile.
May the Lord Bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and walk by your side. With love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your den sister Barbie

Dear friend Regis,
I always love your limericks...they give me so much of tee hee hees...loved it, enjoyed all...pity but..poor Wong,going wrong...hee hee hee ..and of course jugde,passion for fudge not bad...hee hee
'tis the judge that could be budged "with a nudge from some fudge" that catches my fancy Regis -- make mine, maple peanut butter, black walnut, if you please -- and you can move me anywhere you've a mind to -- may peace and love be aways with you my friend -- Jon Michael
Very clever and funny, Regis. Anything spelled F-U-D-G-E catches my eye. Then there's: "There’s a boy who sits on a stool, he plays with his favorite tool" Hmmm, and what might that favorite tool be? A wrench? I think not.

Oh, okay, I was smiling ear-to-ear from the very first verse, so I suppose there's some redeeming social value to this admitted nonsense.
In truth, visiting your site is always a delight. When I sit at my keyboard and click on Regis Auffray, I always take my shoes off first. I mean, a visit to your postings is like a pilgrimage to holy ground!
Yes, God has a sense of humor, too. I mean, he made me, didn't He?
Great job as always, Reg! My mom recently showed me contest information in the Saturday Evening Post magazine-they are looking for limericks-you should REALLY send yours. I think you would win. Hope you are well-blessings, Michelle
Regis i can do with some fudge right about now
LOL I also love the boy who found a Tool
I Love all of this great limericks
They always make my day
Thank you for making my day with this great writes
Wishing you Love Peace and Light…Yolie
Regis,
Did you mention fudge? Shame on you! My daughter arrived home from Switzerland with some of the best swiss chocolate, I begged her to please hide it from me. Thanks to her I have gained a few pounds. Thanks for entertaining me during my lunch hour. Well penned as always!
