Our very own And Rosta has written something like this many years ago:

doi dirba ko pilno le xance
a e'u ie ji'a le tance
iseju ko sutra
le nu catkycputra
i e'o ko cupra no sance

I've written two limericks in lojban, both having appeared in the
forums of the OEDILF (Omnificient English Dictionary In Limerick
Form), http://oedilf.com. Neither is dirty:

fe le tolcre cu nandu .i'u
.iunai fa lo nu finti le mu
lo vlali'i co pemci
.i se tordu le temci
.i lo rimni cu sarcu je'u

nutytirna loi sidbo be fi
lo tadbebna .i jimpe fa mi
no da .i loi tolka'e
be lo terjmi cu a'e
nai gasnu lo blima e'i

(the second is a translation of the following by Steve Andersen, on
the word "acataleptic":
Overhearing the thoughts of a nerd,
I couldn't absorb what I heard.
Things acataleptic
Just make me dyspeptic.
I registered nary a word.)

And did write some limmericks, but that one's mine, actually.
I've no problem with it being used.

What an impressive memory you have, Arnt! But that limerick, I find after a spot of googling, was actually written by xorxes. My English translation:

O Darling! make use of thy fingers,
or: how about some more *****lingus?
But pray, lay on quick
with thy piston-like pr***,
not thy lovesongs: no swain he who lingers.

But there are some by me somewhere online — duh, indeed in the very link Arnt gives (I find after a load of redundant googling).
<http://www.lojban.org/files/texts/1994m5.txt> seems to collect together lots of lojban limericks by me and xorxes and English translations by me. These date from 1994.

As for permissions, if anybody's seriously worried about such things, then I can publish them under the appropriate Creative Commons thingo if that helps.
