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."

Those are great... and I loved the Raven one, so I made one of Poe's stories into a limerick. Just for kicks.

The Tell-Tale Heart

There once was a heart in the floor.
Put there by a man who had swore
he heard the heart beat
through the floor at his feet;
and confessed to his actions of gore.
