OEDILF

Wordcraft a community of linguaphiles has started this epic project, to produce a version of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) in limerick form (OEDILF).
The OEDILF project has only started words beginning with a at the moment, below are three limericks in the words beginning with ad contributed by Bob Hale

With tap dancing a problem is posed
Ditto with picking his nose
He cannot wear rings
Do tip-toes or hand springs
He's adactylous :- no fingers or toes.

It's wise when telling a fib
To be sure, to be clear, to be glib
Things only get worse
If you fail to rehearse
And are forced to rely on ad-lib

When you move on from just adolescent
And advance to the stage of pubescent
Don't find it surprising
If matters arising
Have results that are largely tumescent.
