LOL, Steve! Using a rhyming word more than once is fine, so long as the limerick in general is different.

Thanks for all your fun limericks, everyone, and please keep them coming!

A fellow who drank to excess
Would fail to oblige his noblesse
Til one day a gendarme
Took him by the arm
On the Boulevard du Montparnasse…

A fellow who drank to excess
Often claimed to see flames on Loch Ness
But his neighbors, afire,
Declared daft Sean a liar
And vowed they’d force him to confess

That he’d merely seen Nessie, no more;
Then came one night Sean staggered ashore
Empty bottle held high ~
Lightning forked in the sky
Then a crash like a huge slamming door

Woke the villagers deep in the night:
They rushed down to the lake, filled with fright
Heard him croon to the moon
Nessie swayed to his tune
Amidst flames showing off her great height…

But Sean stormily railed that next dawn
That his pow’r to see flames was now gone:
If they’d only believed!
…The townspeople, relieved,
Swore they’d never reveal what’d gone on…

[Thanks, Steve V.! hope you like this one; you were quite inspired yourself!]

A fellow who drank to excess
One day entered a church to confess;
On his knees heard mid plea,
The priest say pleasantly:
“Do you know, sir, you’re wearing a dress?”

A fellow who drank to excess
Drove to work in his pj’s, a mess:
As the female staff sneered,
He leered broadly and jeered,
“Well, at least I’M not wearing a dress!”

A fellow who drank to excess
A mathematician, who’d guess?
Staggered up 4th and Tulip
Pointing to his mint julep
And loudly complained, “More’s NOT less!”

A fellow who drank to excess
Went to rehab, but under duress;
His lurid confessions
Of drunken transgressions
Were acclaimed as a rousing success.

A fellow who drank to excess,
boasted lineage to Rudolf Hesse.
Hoped this’d improve chances;
Wished to move beyond dances.
‘Bruptly found out his date was Jewess!
