AnthonyRosenthal's "Pipe Poems" gave me the idea for this.
A bit of restrained ribaldry is often a feature of limericks.
Join in if you like, and don't worry about the technicalities of form - it's all in fun!
Here's a starter:
A happy old pipester named Thad

Announced to his wife a new TAD.

She flung open the door,

And shouted, "No more!"

And with that he proceeded to PAD.

How about PM Forum persona themed limericks?
There once was a pipester named Kash

Who loved his old Comoy Ribands

He'd load them with love

The 'baccy fit like a glove

And would burn until ash with one match

Certainly, Pat! However, proceed at your own risk. Heh Heh Heh

I just don't know other members well enough to name them directly. Not sure how they'd take a little fun-poking.
Leads me to a disclaimer: Any name used in my limericks may be coincidentally the same as an avatar name for an actual member. However, there should be no intentional intent construed by such use, especially since it's entirely possible that with 8,000+ members such a coincidence could occur. (Glad I didn't have to type that on a manual Underwood - I may have had to take a pipe break!)
There once was a smoker named Kale

Whose baccy had gotten quite stale.

He ordered some burley

But his wife got quite surly

And screamed, "I call that a FAIL!"

A feisty young piper name Ned

Lit up his pipe while in bed

His wife said with a grin,

While reaching for him

"Your pipe's lit but Ned is dead."

Hmmm...
Poor lonely pipe widow Gayle

Found hubby's room notes quite stale

He said, "It's an art!"

She yelled, "Smells like farts!"

And lit candles to little avail.

Keep 'em coming! Where are some other budding limerick pipers?
An unknowing young married named Cruz

Had scheduled a big surprise cruise.

Packed his aros with topping,

Then his wife took him shopping

And spent his TAD money on shoes.

:wink: Well get out that keyboard!
Okay, you twisted my arm...
A jolly young bloke named Pat

Realized he was getting too fat.

So he latched on to piping,

And he gave up sniping

And donated his pasta to (the) cat.

LOL Blame anthonyrosenthal for getting me started... JK
A comely young lass named Brees

Was getting to skinny to please

So she soon crossed the border,

Learned cooking short order

And models XL for McD's.

One last one for tonight -
An athletic young man named Champ

Had not yet learned how to tamp

So his girl took up smoking

And soon was pro-toking

And sent him to boy scout camp! :P

There was a young man named Hinds,

Who liked his pipe smoking just fine.

But his wife did not like it,

She pitched a big fit

And bought him Mixture 79.

Onward...
A darling young woman named Medici

Bought her new man a Radice

But he turned up his nose,

So she gave him a hose

And became constantly bee-chee.

A man with time on his hands can be a "dangerous thing..."
Okay, let's get a bit sophomoric:
Another young bloke named Jack

Had no damn idea how to pack

So he packed it real tight,

Then to draw was a fight

And he had a huge fart attack.

I'm getting in trouble here at my office for laughing too hard!
Boudreaux, you are a genius. Keep it coming, and thanks for the laughs. I look forward to buying your book even if you reprint some of these!

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement.
@bryanf - There will be a book, but it's a mystery/thriller novel. Working on revisions to the manuscript before self-publishing it.
