I hope you’ll join me in writing a limerick with this first line:

A woman with sev’ral degrees…

Here’s mine:

Educational Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane

A woman with sev’ral degrees
Fell in love with an ill-informed sleaze.
Her friends disapproved
And warned it behooved
Her to drop him and find a new squeeze.

Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you’re on Facebook, I hope you’ll join my friends in that same activity in my Limerick-Offs.

    A woman with sev’ral degrees
    Had to take a job on her knees
    Now it’s not what you think
    It’s in a roller rink
    Picking up all those roller skate keys.

    (I know they don’t have those anymore – mostly)

  2. A woman with several degrees
    Was warm from her head to her knees
    But below patellas
    Were too many fellas
    All frictioning frosted footsies.

  3. A woman with several degrees
    and many eccentricities
    including a weird bod
    does not think it too odd,
    her boobies hang down to her knees.

  4. Amanda says:

    A woman with sev’ral degrees
    Got a great education with ease
    With stunning good looks
    And straight A’s on the books
    She got there by crossing her …….. T’s

  5. Ken Armstrong says:

    A woman with sev’ral degrees
    Was confus’d by her apostrophes
    This con’usion it reigned
    Thus she found ‘erself pained
    All the way from ‘er ‘ead to ‘er knees

    Fun limericks! And Ken, yours made me laugh.

    Please keep them coming, everyone, and don’t forget to cross-post them on my Facebook page. Thanks!

  7. A woman with several degrees
    Had trouble in this economy
    In her last swan song
    She put on a thong
    Now she gets paid to strip tease.

  8. Brion Emde says:

    A woman with several degrees
    Who studied the mating of fleas
    Generations she planned
    Soon did get out of hand
    Send an exterminator, please

  9. Veralynne says:

    A woman with several degrees…
    Loved beach, sun, the wake and water skis
    While she stayed trim and sporty
    Her man, he’d just snort, he
    Wanted her home on her knees…

  10. Veralynne says:

    A woman with several degrees…
    Loved mostly her books about bees
    When she ate she loved honey
    But she made so little money
    She couldn’t buy exotic teas

  11. Debby says:

    A woman with several degrees
    Always boasted of her PhD’s
    The snobby elitist
    Made folks feel like defeatists
    Thus none cared of her great expertise

  12. Debby says:

    A woman with several degrees
    Above normal- a hundred and three!
    A fever- the flu?
    Body aches and… ACHOO!
    Pure exhaustion from having to sneeze!

  13. Steve Vitoff says:

    hi mad! here are four for you:

    1. A woman with several degrees
    Had yearnings quite hard to appease
    If your IQ was higher
    You might satisfy her
    But no one came near PhD’s

    2. A woman with several degrees
    Looked back on her life and said “jeez,
    If I could do it again
    I’d spend more time with men
    And less time with dictiona-ries”

    3. A woman with several degrees
    Found Sundays ideal for Chinese
    “I’ve spent the whole week
    In the stacks like a freak
    Now ladle me my MSG’s!”

    4. A woman with several degrees
    Had a boyfriend most easy to please
    “She looks great, but Jesus,
    When she reads me her thesis
    I instantly turn Japanese!”

  14. Brion Emde says:

    A woman with several degrees
    Made power from out of a breeze
    From its ions and stuff
    Even only a puff
    She’ll need it to kill all the fleas…

  15. Dr. Goose says:

    A woman with several degrees
    Needed lowbrow and highbrow CVs;
    On the first one she’d stress
    Her accounting BS,
    On the other – her six PhDs.

    Limericks To A Woman of Pe-Degree!

    A woman with several degrees
    Was often seen feeling trees
    Her chain saw
    Was the ultimate law
    For the blade was lubed with silicon carbide grease

    A woman with several degrees
    Was used to killing sedated fleas
    That sat upon her nose
    As the story goes
    After they were stung by her favorite bees

    A woman with several degrees
    Spoke thirty languages with remarkable ease
    But her waterloo is verbs-declension
    Has caused her considerable tension
    Whenever she tries to speak English- it is a freeze!

    A woman with several degrees
    Focused on jerky giraffe knees
    For she could make the animal
    Dance with suggestions subliminal
    To each sax tune from Kenny G’s!

  18. Rethabile says:

    A woman with sev’ral degrees
    was lost among the thick, black trees;
    so when the sun soon
    gave way to the moon,
    she curs’d and curs’d the fuckin’ monkeys.

  19. Debby says:

    A woman with several degrees
    (By John Guare that would be 2×3)
    Thought she knew Kevin Bacon
    But she was mistaken
    ‘Twas her friend’s aunt’s cousin, Dom Deluise

  20. Sally Franz says:

    A woman with several degrees
    Gave lectures that always teased
    She ranted from the dais
    Preaching random chaos,
    String theory, and whatever she pleased.

  21. Neal P says:

    A woman with several degrees
    was told to desist and to cease
    Her life had grown hectic,
    it made her dyslexic
    So she minded her q’s and her p’s

  22. Steve Bumgarner says:

    A woman with sev’ral degrees
    of difficulty seeing her knees.
    It was not ’cause she’s fat. No,
    it’s just that she has a so
    MAGNIFICENT rack of boobies!

  23. Cynthia Boggs says:

    A woman with sev’ral degrees
    In post doc ornithologies
    From a grand school back east
    Found no job, but at least
    The girl knew her tits from towhees.

  24. Vinnie Falcone says:

    A dame wit’ sev’ral of de grease-
    Balls fum da hood, collected mob fees.
    D’ey’d drive ta da vict’s hovel,
    Make him beg, plead an’ grovel,
    Den da thugs wood work ovuh his knees.
