Most of you have no doubt heard the bawdy limerick that begins: "There once was a man from Nantucket...." This is not to be confused with the other limerick that begins the same way, which is far wittier and has an interesting backstory.

Today's TopFive.com list is about the well-endowed gentleman from Nantucket, speculating on what movies might be made about him.

Which got me thinking, as I left my room this morning, what funny limericks could I invent about my friends? I decided to limit myself to using first lines of similar format (i.e. "There once was a person...") and to stress bawdy humour. Cycling through the rain and over the cobblestones, these are the best I could come up with:

There once was a man named Andrew Hughey
Whose eyes, one day, got very dewey
And yet it was not
because he missed his wife alot
but rather because his Power Book had gotten all screwy

There once was a girl named Mindy
Who wore a skirt out 'though it was windy
A gust of wind came along
And showed off her thong
Now Mindy wears pants which aren't trendy

There once was a man named Rich Morgan
Who boasted that he could play the organ
When challenged to show
His hands dived below
For the organ was part of Rich Morgan
