There was a young man from Algerior

.....Who thought he was rather inferior

......One night , just for fun,

......He took out a nun

    There was a young man from Bengal

    Who went to a fancy dress ball

    He thought he would risk it

    And go as a biscuit

    But the dog ate him up in the hall!

    Or

    Hey diddle diddle

    The cat did a piddle

    Right in the middle of the floor

    The little dog laughed to see such fun

    And added a little bit more!

    I'm so childish- I'm laughing me head trying to type them!

    There once was a lady from Leeds,

    Who swallowed a packet of seeds.

    In less than an hour,

    Her nose was a flower,

    And her head was all covered in weeds.

    I remember a couple of others which were made up by a friend of mine when we were both teenagers....but I am fairly sure they are unprintable!

    Edit: OK....now that I have read through a few of the other offerings, I will share one more....composed by the school friend I mentioned:

    There was an old man from The Wirral,

    Who tried it on with a squirrel.

    The squirrel just laughed,

    Kicked the man up the @r$e,

    And said "Why don't you try it with Cyril?"

    There was a young girl from Nepal,

    Wore a newspaper dress to a ball.

    The skirt caught on fire

    And burned her entire

    Front page, sporting section and all.

    There was another rhyme (not a limerick) I remember from school:

    Jack and Jill

    Went up the hill

    With no one in the vicinity.

    Jack came down

    Less half a crown

    And Jill less her virginity.

    Sorry, we were filthy little beasts at school!

    EDIT: "The Grooves" answer reminded me of the version we used to say:

    In days of old when knights were bold

    And toilets weren't invented,

    They made a hole in the middle of the road

    And sat there quite contented.

    Amazing what comes back to you, isn't it?

    I made this up when I was about 8 yrs old

    There was a young man called Fred

    Who didn't like going to bed

    He thought for a laugh

    He'd sleep in the bath

    But the water dripped on to his head.

    Not sure of the wording..something like this:

    There was a young lady from Niger

    Who smiled for a ride on a tiger

    They came back from the ride

    With the lady inside

    and the smile on the face of the tiger.!

    There was a young farm girl called Mabel,

    who at milking a cow was unable.

    Each night she would try with many a sigh,

    with a sausage nailed under the table.

    There was an old lady from Ealing

    There was a young Lady from Lynn

    Who was so incredibly thin

    That when she assayed, to drink Lemonade

    She slipped through the straw

    and fell in.

    I always found this hilarious.

    I like anti-limericks:

    There was an old man of St. Bees

    Who was stung on the arm by a wasp;

    When asked, "Does it hurt?"

    He replied, "No it doesn't,

    But I'm sure glad it wasn't a hornet!"

    And then there's:

    There once was an X from place B,

    That satisfied predicate P,

    He or she did thing A,

    In an adjective way,

    Resulting in circumstance C.
