PD32. Same name

I attended Tulsa Opera's production of Madame Butterfly yesterday.  The consul's name is "Sharpless" which reminded me of this one's author:

There was a young lady... Tut, tut!
So you think you are in for some smut?
Some five-line crescendo
Of lewd innuendo?
Well, you're wrong.  This is anything but.
   -- Stanley J. Sharpless in "The Penguin Book of Limericks."

675. Forced anorexia

I learned this one's final word while living in Texas.  All car tags had 3 consonants and 3 numbers.  We played a game in which you added the fewest letters to come up with a word (vowels counted 1, consonants 2 and lowest score won.)  My tag was GMN-457.

A Somalian singer liked jammin',
But she went through a terrible famine.
It left her so skinny
(Might even say 'mini')
She looked very much like a gamin.

OP28. Whang Ho

Madame Wong gave a man from Karachi
A soap hand job too near the hibachi.
    When her ass touched the coal,
    She snapped off Ahmed's pole
And then giggled, "No dickey, no washee!"

674. His middle name was Cohn

A sly Jewish man named Ben-Zvi,
Saw his neighbor plant one small pine tree.
But
Ben-Zvi was a gonif,
That night stole the conif
er, acting as if it were free!

672-673. Nosing around

A brown-nosing freshman named Zeke,
Went to Algebra three times a week.
"I refuse to kiss ass
Just to pass this math class"
He said (with tongue firmly in cheek.)

A man with no dick who's named Chris,
Can still pleasure his wife doing this:
He buries his nose
In that slit 'neath her clothes
And then sneezes, thus bringing her bliss!

671. Nasty pederasty

A rascally old Eton Don,
Over all of his boys likes to fawn.
What he does with his tool
At this famed public school
Should not be looked lightly upon.

670. Keep your sense of humor

I know a nice lady named Ruth
Who's become very long in the tooth.
Old age is in residence,
She's outlived most presidents,

Jokes "I used to date John Wilkes Booth!"

669. A wily post

A crafty young cocksman name Lyle,
Has razor-honed all of his guile.
He can get any lass
To give him some ass --
I wish I had some of his wile.

665-668. And yet more composers

The works of that man, Dom. Scarlatti,
Should never be thrown in the potty.
Same age as old Bach,
He wrote up a flock
Of sonatas to please literati.


That master of opera, Puccini,
Hailed from Italy (home of linguini.)
"Un bel di" (Butterfly)
Makes each listener cry,
And that Pinkerton guy's a real meanie!


In my car, when I hear César Franck,
I sometimes am tempted to honk.
His melodies move me
But does it behoove me
To rhyme up these guys like a wonk*?

    *Definition HERE.

Old Sergei Prokofiev wrote
Several pieces deserving of note.
Not as good as a B.J.
Still, Lieutenant Kije
Is surely one I'd give my vote!

664. Anecdotal

A Swiss singer, Christopher Rodl,
Likes songs having scales that are modal.
The ones that he picks
Have to have Major 6ths
So that Rodl can modally yodel.

663. THIS guy's normal

As opposed to the one in #662 below...
A fellow in hopes of a tryst,
Tried seducing five girls but he missed.
Put a stop to his roam
And went back to his home
Where he pleasured himself with his wrist.

662. Naughto-erotic

A fellow who hadn't the knack
For talking girls into the sack
Still proved he had mettle --
Refusing to settle

For giving his penis a whack.
What self-control!

661. Forsooth

There once was a man from Duluth,
Who aspired to work as a sleuth.
But he rarely got hired
(When he did, he'd get fired)
For he couldn't tell fiction from truth.

659-660. Dick Clark, R.I.P.

Dick Clark's gone, it's the end of an age,
He put Rock 'n Roll on TV's stage.
Bob/Justine, King and Queen
Of that past Bandstand scene
Did "The Stroll" which became all the rage.

Danny's Juniors sang out "At the Hop",

And we all tried to learn how to bop.
Watched each day after school
And thought we were cool,
Dick Clark was the absolute Top.

OP 27. Dud Poets Society

A nouveau poetaster from Bree
Has embarked on a limerick spree.
. But his concept of scansion
. Appears, at best, transien';
His rhyme scheme: aabbb.
