Educational Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A woman with sev’ral degrees
Fell in love with an ill-informed sleaze.
Her friends disapproved
And warned it behooved
Her to drop him and find a new squeeze.
Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you’re on Facebook, I hope you’ll join my friends in that same activity in my Limerick-Offs.

A woman with sev’ral degrees
Had to take a job on her knees
Now it’s not what you think
It’s in a roller rink
Picking up all those roller skate keys.
(I know they don’t have those anymore – mostly)
A woman with several degrees
Was warm from her head to her knees
But below patellas
Were too many fellas
All frictioning frosted footsies.
A woman with several degrees
and many eccentricities
including a weird bod
does not think it too odd,
her boobies hang down to her knees.
A woman with sev’ral degrees
Got a great education with ease
With stunning good looks
And straight A’s on the books
She got there by crossing her …….. T’s
A woman with sev’ral degrees
Was confus’d by her apostrophes
This con’usion it reigned
Thus she found ‘erself pained
All the way from ‘er ‘ead to ‘er knees
Fun limericks! And Ken, yours made me laugh.
Please keep them coming, everyone, and don’t forget to cross-post them on my Facebook page. Thanks!
A woman with several degrees
Had trouble in this economy
In her last swan song
She put on a thong
Now she gets paid to strip tease.
A woman with several degrees
Who studied the mating of fleas
Generations she planned
Soon did get out of hand
Send an exterminator, please
A woman with several degrees…
Loved beach, sun, the wake and water skis
While she stayed trim and sporty
Her man, he’d just snort, he
Wanted her home on her knees…
A woman with several degrees…
Loved mostly her books about bees
When she ate she loved honey
But she made so little money
She couldn’t buy exotic teas
A woman with several degrees
Always boasted of her PhD’s
The snobby elitist
Made folks feel like defeatists
Thus none cared of her great expertise
A woman with several degrees
Above normal- a hundred and three!
A fever- the flu?
Body aches and… ACHOO!
Pure exhaustion from having to sneeze!
hi mad! here are four for you:
1. A woman with several degrees
Had yearnings quite hard to appease
If your IQ was higher
You might satisfy her
But no one came near PhD’s
2. A woman with several degrees
Looked back on her life and said “jeez,
If I could do it again
I’d spend more time with men
And less time with dictiona-ries”
3. A woman with several degrees
Found Sundays ideal for Chinese
“I’ve spent the whole week
In the stacks like a freak
Now ladle me my MSG’s!”
4. A woman with several degrees
Had a boyfriend most easy to please
“She looks great, but Jesus,
When she reads me her thesis
I instantly turn Japanese!”
A woman with several degrees
Made power from out of a breeze
From its ions and stuff
Even only a puff
She’ll need it to kill all the fleas…
A woman with several degrees
Needed lowbrow and highbrow CVs;
On the first one she’d stress
Her accounting BS,
On the other – her six PhDs.
What a delightful group of limericks featuring a high … uh … degree of wit. Thanks everyone, and please keep them coming!
Limericks To A Woman of Pe-Degree!
A woman with several degrees
Was often seen feeling trees
Her chain saw
Was the ultimate law
For the blade was lubed with silicon carbide grease
A woman with several degrees
Was used to killing sedated fleas
That sat upon her nose
As the story goes
After they were stung by her favorite bees
A woman with several degrees
Spoke thirty languages with remarkable ease
But her waterloo is verbs-declension
Has caused her considerable tension
Whenever she tries to speak English- it is a freeze!
A woman with several degrees
Focused on jerky giraffe knees
For she could make the animal
Dance with suggestions subliminal
To each sax tune from Kenny G’s!
A woman with sev’ral degrees
was lost among the thick, black trees;
so when the sun soon
gave way to the moon,
she curs’d and curs’d the fuckin’ monkeys.
A woman with several degrees
(By John Guare that would be 2×3)
Thought she knew Kevin Bacon
But she was mistaken
‘Twas her friend’s aunt’s cousin, Dom Deluise

A woman with several degrees
Gave lectures that always teased
She ranted from the dais
Preaching random chaos,
String theory, and whatever she pleased.
A woman with several degrees
was told to desist and to cease
Her life had grown hectic,
it made her dyslexic
So she minded her q’s and her p’s
A woman with sev’ral degrees
of difficulty seeing her knees.
It was not ’cause she’s fat. No,
it’s just that she has a so
MAGNIFICENT rack of boobies!
A woman with sev’ral degrees
In post doc ornithologies
From a grand school back east
Found no job, but at least
The girl knew her tits from towhees.
A dame wit’ sev’ral of de grease-
Balls fum da hood, collected mob fees.
D’ey’d drive ta da vict’s hovel,
Make him beg, plead an’ grovel,
Den da thugs wood work ovuh his knees.
