The Great British Limerick Book: Filthy Limericks for (Nearly) Every Town in the UK Paperback – April 16, 2015
Purchase options and add-ons
There are over 900 limericks in the book. A lot of them are hilarious. Most of them are very funny. All of them are filthy.
Guildford, Surrey
At McDonald's in Guildford in Surrey
I spilt coffee on my crotch in a scurry
I had to act quick
To cool down my dick
So I stuck it into my McFlurry
Nuneaton, Warwickshire
There was a young man from Nuneaton
Who really enjoyed being beaten
And squeezing his knackers
With a pair of nut crackers
And riding a bike with no seat on
Bath, Somerset
There was a professor from Bath
Who employed twenty-five research staff
To measure size and direction
Of his every erection
And to plot the results on a graph
The Isle of Skye, Scotland
When I was on the Isle of Skye
I overdid the old Spanish fly
I had a stiff member
From the fourth of December
Till Friday the tenth of July
Ashington, Northumberland
In Ashington there was a miner
Whose wife was a fashion designer
One night to his shock
She dressed him up as a cock
And herself as a six foot vagina
Hackney, Greater London
As a chemist I worked once in Hackney
And invented a treatment for acne
But one ingredi-ent
Was semen I’d spent
And they thought that good reason to sack me

About the author

They say to be a successful author you should pick one genre and stick to it. Lewis Williams hasn't exactly followed that advice: having written his first book on the singer Scott Walker, he followed that with a serious academic work on social policy, which he then followed with a trilogy of limerick books that were absolutely, categorically nothing remotely like his earlier books. He is now the editor of all four volumes of The Corona Book of Horror Stories series, with the first, third and fourth books also including short stories by him.
Lewis has two degrees in philosophy (which number might be considered two too many) and worked for a number of years for Oxford University before his ignominious departure from its employ. You can find out more about him by visiting his website www.lewiswilliams.com

- Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2015Extremely clever, difficult to put down and very, very funny. Only for those in search of more open-minded humor - be careful not to recite them in the middle of the office!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny book
Hilarious and very clever! Not read them all, but we have been in hysterics all day over some of these limericks. Definitely not a book for children- but great for adults with a sense of humour, who are not easily offended.
- Colin JenkinsReviewed in the United Kingdom on August 12, 2022
3.0 out of 5 stars Struggled with rhyme
Not very good would not consider a master of limerick
