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
Who had a peculiar feeling

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.
