Spiritual Limericks

[Meagain]

Just for fun, I had nothing to do.
Add your own if you wish, just keep them clean and relate them to philosophic or religious themes.

Remember also that limericks adhere to a special poetic form.

Lao Tsu wrote a book on the Tao,
That’s written to tell us just how,
To avoid pain and pleasure,
And live life at leisure,
By chasing the Here and the Now.

[TrippinBTM]

Aren't they supposed to be funny? Anyways, i have one (two actually) but I don't feel like going downstairs to get the book right now. I'll do it tomorrow.

Trippin,
You saying my limerick's not funny http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif!
If you think that one was bad just wait....they get worse.
Here's another.

There once was a woman named Donna,

While sitting alone in her sauna,

She turned up the steam,

Then said, "Life’s a dream."

And that’s how she entered Nirvana.

I traveled to my house by the lake
To cook me up some salad and steak
The lord jesus came down
Knocked my ass to the ground
Ate my lunch, belched out loud, asked for cake

So I went to the store for a snack
When i felt something tap on my back
So I turned and saw god
He gave me a small nod
And I gave him his crappy book back

Mary Lou went to church on Sundays
She looked forward to service for days
Till her pastor turned gay
Fiddled boys while they pray
Now at home Sunday morning she stays

My sister thinks our grandmom's a cow
I look at her and just must say wow
What a silly belief
To think grandma is beef
I'd like a happy meal and fries now

Sorry Meagain, your limeric actually was the funniest thing ever in the universe. I can say that because I know. It literally almost killed me with laughter. Satisfied? ;)

Yours are great too, Sera

Here's that limeric I mentioned before:

There was a young man who said, “God!
I find it exceedingly odd
That the tree that I see
Should just cease to be
When there's no-one about in the quad.”

Young man, your astonishment's odd.
I am always about in the quad.
And that's why the tree
Will continue to be
As observed by
Yours faithfully, God.

[Meagain]

All right we got some good ones!

Heres' another:

I once read the Buddha had said,

To all of the people he led,

“If you want to go higher,

Just end your desire,

And make sure your ego is dead.”

[Meagain]

There once was a New England farma’,

Who heard of a thing called the Dharma.

His spiritual needs,

Had planted the seeds,

And he reaped a crop of good Karma!

[FreakerSoup]

I was asking God for inspiration,
But God responded with indignation.
I said "What the hell?"
He said "Nevermind."
"You can't even write a good limerick."

[Sera Michele]

Jonah stepped on a boat and took sail
So god swallowed him up with a whale.
"You have went the wrong way
So inside you will stay
For three days. I'm creative with jail."

[Meagain]

There once was a man from Muskogee,

Who always was seen with a stogie.

He’d take a great draught,

To cancel his thought,

And ended up being a Yogi.

Hey, I just finally figured out your user name... Me-again. I always thought it was a weird spelling of "Megan" since my sister spells it "Meaghan", but always wondered why a dude would use that name. Mystery solved!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. :sunglasse

There once was a Jew from New York
Who stabbed at the sky with a fork.
"Curses!" He said.
"I have been mislead"
"And all I want now is some pork!"

"Aliester Crowley

They treated him most foully.

If only he'd been Crowley
They would have called him holy"

[Sera Michele]

I woke up to a knock on my door
Thinking what in the hell was this for?
There were people in black
I was handed a tract.
Damn people, I can't sleep in no more!

I call this one: "Get a life, Jehovah's Witnesses!"

[Meagain]

There once was a fella named Rod,

Who said that it sounded quite odd,

That churches would sell,

A heaven and hell,

As products of merciful God.
