Spicy Limericks about Spain

Limericks have a special, if specious, association with Ireland. But bookworms and lit lovers the world over seem to appreciate the rhyming five-liner. From Lapland to Tierra del Fuego, everyone loves a well-spoken limerick. Even here in Spain, home of Lorca and Cervantes, a good poem never goes unnoticed.

The following limericks of and about Spain walk a fine line that veers toward the lewd and suggestive, in apparent violation of my commitment to lift the weathered genre to a higher plane. Call it poetic license, or maybe just loyalty to tradition. In any case, I hope these Spanish limericks make you smile as brightly as the sunshine over Andalucia.

     There once was a man from Madrid
     And you’ll never believe what he did
             But along the Camino
             He pricked his pepino
     So these days he keeps it well hid

     There’s an uncle who entered Iberia
     In search of a mother superior
             From Basque to Cadiz
             The sisters he’d squeeze
     But none of them met his criteria

     There’s a hard-working Juan from Seville
     Whom housewives adore for his skill
             He knows what he’s doing
             He never stops screwing
     Just labors all day with his drill

     There’s a Jenny from down in Gibraltar
     Whose husband must constantly fault her
             The honeymoon over
             He franticly drove her
     To dread what she’d said at the altar

     There’s a trollop I know from Toledo
     Renowned for her spicy libido
              Fulfilling my wishes
             With Mexican dishes
     Her salsa ran down my burrito

     I once knew an hombre who dropped off the map
     Resurfaced in Spain with a girl in his lap
             A fan of fiestas
             He loves his siestas
     So don’t interrupt his post-prandial nap
