The Top 16 Holiday Limericks from Celebrities
- Jim Carrey:
"Playing the Grinch was not bad of me, He and I were a match that just had to be! But in my Christmas sack, There'll be one thing I lack -- Roles like that don't excite the Academy."
- Britney Spears:
I'm just a cute Mouseketeer, in Spandex and skin-tight brassiere, Though I'm making top dollar, I'll certainly holler, If Santa forgets my new implants this year.
- The First Dog:
I waggingly try to be pleasant, To human and cat, fish and pheasant. So when Al told me twice, I took his advice, And I left Mr. Bush a big "present."
- Cher:
My Christmas is missing some glee, I'll decorate not a pine tree. I'm lacking of mirth 'Cause every green fir Brings memories of my late Sonny.
- Monica Lewinsky:
For Christmas, I wanted to go Back to my old job, but you know, As an intern, I’m spent 'Cause this new president Has a new definition of "blow."
- Stephen King:
Here in Maine, the long winters serene Turn to white everything that was green. But a Christmastime fest Just makes me depressed. How much longer till it's Halloween???
- Joe Lieberman:
There's still time to go to the store To get gifts for my buddy, Al Gore. Though just 5 days remain, If we count them again I'm sure that we'll turn up some more.
- Christina Aguilera:
Santa, I've been good for years, But Britney has zapped my career. So please bring me a song, Skimpy tops and a thong, And a pair of big hooters like Spears'.
- Bill Clinton:
The right gifts may spare me the pillory:
Sturdy rope will prevent peccadillory. Add a good climbing shoe, And pretend you're K2 -- I'll pretend that I'm Sir Edmund, Hillary.
- Tom Green:
There's no garland hung in the hall. My holiday spirit is small. The doc had me back, For a lump in my sack, So I'm left with but one Christmas ball.
- Ron Howard:
My Grinch movie's knocking 'em dead. Carrey's keeping my family well-fed. Getting just one more thing'll Delight me, Kris Kringle:
A little more hair on my head!
- Robert Downey, Jr.:
Among those caught for murder and stealing. I'm a prisoner who is quite appealing. They say, "Robert, you're cute! And a movie star, to boot! Give *me* that Downey-fresh feeling!"
- Charlie Sheen:
It's the holiday season, I know, So after doing a few lines of "snow", I'll be sufficiently high To head downtown and buy My 3 favorite gifts: Ho, ho, ho.
- Dennis Miller:
Since my rhetoric often belittles, This Christmas I offer acquittals. I will pay more attention And eschew condescension Of what others' opinions... hey, Skittles!
- George W. Bush:
Executions are holiday fun, And you don't need a needle or gun. You just throw the switch On the son of a bitch -- When his navel pops out, then he's done!
and the Number 1 Holiday Limerick from a Celebrity...
- Alec Baldwin:
If Bush won, I swore that I'd leave. From that promise, there is no reprieve. Now I have to go, And guess what? Ho, ho, ho! Russell Crowe's here to help sweet Kim grieve.
