Having some fun with this...
http://www.famousliteraryworks.com/limericks.htm

here's my attempt: according to the link above, this attempt misses the mark...?

There once was a slouch, who sat on a couch, whiling the day a way.
Hay, hay! said the slouch sitting on a couch. What shall I do to day?
He thought and he thought, but still could not decide.
so giving a rot, he turned on the bot;
watching Breaking Bad, he got fried.

There once was a Commie called Sasha
who instructed a girl named Natasha
Very soon there were sparks
as she learnt to love Marx
So now if you flame him, she'll bash ya!

There once was a teacher named John
Who just loved to blow his own horn
He blew with such vigor
an attack he did trigger
and now there is no one to mourn. Very Happy

Regards,
Juan

There was an old man of Scotland,
Whose idea of independence was like rand,
He drank a purple drink,
And starts to clink,
But refused to accept Her majesty the Queen of Scotland.

The class was incredibly tired
And the teacher with homework was mired
He'd tried Mr Bean and a translating machine
But the students from boredom were dying
Said the teacher, you can see, from the class before me, from my job I shall shortly be fired

There once was a communist Russian
Who asked a lot of literal ku-ice-tions
He asked about near rhymes
In cloudy and clear times
Because in Russia there’s no poetical license

There was a man called Karl Marx
He wrote a book about Communism and Tracks
He did not think God exists
But Karl is dead and God still exists
One day I told Karl why are you Communist
He replied that he likes to be Chauvinist
But still God exists, and Karl Marx had cracks

There once was a Commie named Sasha
who was quite a capitalist smasher.
"Rise up, all you masses!
Destroy all these classes!"
He urged from his 20 room dascha.


Very Happy

Regards,
John

How did you know that I'd just got a new dacha? Shocked

Dear Sasha,

Surely, as a rabble-rouser, an inciter, and an exhorter, you must realize that you are under constant surveillance. Very Happy

Regards,
John

There once was girl named Natasha
who liked to wear the dish-dasha
She fooled all the men when she drank in the den
as they had all mistaken her for Sasha!

There were once some poor learners out East
Who understood they were being fleeced
Along came Anatasia
Who cured their aphasia
And so many TEFL careers ceased!
