I made this one up a year ago
In the absence of recent additions, I'll re-post one of my favorite ones from last year
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/limericks/page/6#post-185895
In the unfortunate absence of Minyan Gal, (where are you?), Minyan Guy will have to step in so here goes:
In the sedras of שמות and וארא
The jews had a שעבוד יתירה
משה went to the nile
And פרעה he did rile
When he asked to be let out במהרה
In this weeks sedra called Bo
He again asked "Let my people go"
Cos if you dont then takke
You'll receive another makka
But the stubbon king just said "NO!"
So H'shem sent in swarms of locust
that covered the ground like dust
They came with a gale
Eating the remnents of the hail
פרעה said "Please remove them, you must!"
So משה davenned and they went
and פרעה he tried to repent
But he could play no more part
cos H'shem hardened his heart
So to free the Jews he could not consent
Next came darkness - no sun's rays
And believe me it was more than a haze
The dark they could feel
It was such a big deal
That no Mitzri could move for 3 days
FInally משה did warn
Of the killing of every 1st born
Bloody doorposts showed whose
Were the homes of the Jews
Every Mitzri, even פרעה, did mourn
פרעה ran out in his night dress
But could not find משה's address
So the kids they did play
Sending פרעה astray
They had fun with his Royal Highness
Suddenely משה he found
But when he said "GO NOW", משה frowned
They went only the next morning
פרעה chased without warning
And into the Yam Suf they drowned
The lesson from all this is clear
At my limerick dont sneer but cheer
Writing this is gr8 fun
SO come on everyone
But please dont put it off till next year!
