Famous Poems Rewritten as Limericks


Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening

There once was a horse-riding chap
Who took a trip in a cold snap.
He stopped in the snow,
But he soon had to go:
He was miles away from a nap.


The Raven

There once was a girl named Lenore
And a bird and a bust and a door
And a guy with depression
And a whole lot of questions,
And the bird always says 'Nevermore.'


Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

There was an old father of Dylan
Who was seriously, mortally illin'.
"I want," Dylan said,
"You to bitch till you're dead.
I'll be cheesed if you kick it while chillin'."


I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud

There once was a poet named Will
Who tramped his way over a hill
And was speechless for hours
Over some stupid flowers.
This was years before TV, but still.


Footprints in the Sand

There was a man who, at low tide,
Would walk with the Lord by his side
Jesus said, "Now, look back;
You'll see one set of tracks.
That's when you got a piggy-back ride."
