Limericks

Limericks are most often sung to the tune of The Gay Caballero and are also commonly recited. The largest collection of limericks is found in the McWilliam Collection. You can download sorted limericks at the previous link or all the limericks in a zipped file (7MB).

We have a small collection of limericks which we stopped working on in 2001.
