My fascination with Limericks officially began the day I picked up a Rs. 15/- (only) hardback from Strand Book Stall, one of my favourite places in Bombay. I started Limerickin ' with a couple of friends, and was instantly drawn to the simple pleasure and instant gratification it provided. Lectures are dull no more. So for the remaining engineer friends who still have some time to while in college and think lectures are hell, here is something you'll could occupy yourself with :) Where were you O limerick gods for twenty years of my life?
For those who want to read more :
I have tried hard to stick to the structure but Limericks are supposed to be nonsensically sensible, so there are no rules :P
Here are some of my select works and collaborative works thus far :P

Life is life, they say
It's alright in a way
Don't think too much
Onto thoughts, don't you clutch
Cause after night, there shall be day.

Who thinks he is fat and eats salad
He rides a stupid bike
But that is what he really likes
So he has moved on from being a dud to a cool black stud.

In America we have a friend named Randy

My best friend is leaving for Amrika
After all it is sawaal money ka

And the loser didn't get paid
He ended up doing his makan-malik's harmonica.

One of my friends lives in Powai
I would rather call it Love-ai

The lice from the hair has gone on a Himalayan holiday.

My friend is getting married
In his pocket a condom he carried
On his wedding night he was horny as hell

There is a naked hairy bloke in Mahim
He never really liked hitting the gym
The cranky bugger was a head banger
He didn't know hangar from hang-her
And his head is a psychedelic bin.

In walks the bearer of light
She knows wrong from right
Hope and happyness she does radiate
Travelling the world eradicating hate
She is bright, come day come night.

A girl named Juno walked the streets
Virtually, she existed through her tweets
In her prime she was a sight to behold
She got many whistles, then she grew old
She then killed Bruno, her tropical parakeet.

A guy named Gaurav is a guitar playing dude
His new fetish is cooking good food
He writes prose in complicated metaphors
Sketching and cartooning, fulfilling everyone's favours
All this in the pursuit of a girl and getting nude.

Gurtej is an intelligent brilliant surd
He likes eating his paneer parathas with curd
Girls throng him like a swarm of bees
His mischievous smile makes them go weak in their knees
All guys envy him, all girls worship him, he is one gabru Punjabi mard.

Ashwathi Nambiar is never in time
To me, only murder is a more serious crime

She dances anywhere like a stoned drunk looney
Ashwathi Nambiar, is a serial heartbreaker and shaa she can't even rhyme.

Abhijeet Badrike is a tall thin bloke

He is tired of birds and is moving on to pork.

Rishkul Kulkarni is a lazy person
Plays a guitar and calls it Gibson

His face is always serene, he is a man for all seasons.

There goes Mr. Rollercoaster Rumble
Down the hill, he took a tumble
And up a loop he went again
Trying hard to strangle the pain
And at the same time solving a crossword jumble.

We are in our final year
the exit to the big bad world draws near
We leave behind people and memories
The two entities are not very different from chalk and cheese
We would rather smile than shed a tear

There we are. first set of limericks :) Hope you like them. Towards the end I have taken the freedom to mention a few names (for the first time on my blog, I must add) So it is only right I end with a disclaimer
"Any resemblance to any person, living or dead is purely co-incidental and unintentional " :)
Cheers!
(p.s: limericks 2,4,5 and the last one are in collaboration with mr. yugandhar garde !)
