#1 Confucius say, "Man who meet Buddha
On road now unsure if he shoulda,
Think, 'Next time around,
Maybe not go by ground
But try ferry or fly on Garuda.'"

#6 Confucius say, "Hire a pro
Whenever a-hunting you go.
You sure to come back
With exactly right rack
And good head, nicely mounted. Ho, ho."

#7 Confucius, you nasty old b-----d!
"Forgive humble self, please. Was plastered.
By studying Ren...
Or his simpering friend...
One of those... passions easily mastered."

#8 Confucius say, Desire equal suffering.
But Village Grand Pooh-Bah: Much TougherThing.
He posed for a selfie
Quoth Buddha, "To Hell [wif'] ye!"
And Tougher, sure 'nuffer, was a-bufferinged!

#9 Wow! Not that I'm much of a judge, having only rarely encountered real poets' stuff, more or less by accident, since hearing Lear on mother's knee (and very prettily he sang, too!)... but that's gotta be in the running for Purplest Limerick Ever. Wow. And how! How I yearn to see it chiselled in marble, with golden "inlay," like, atop the tomb of Poetry! Ummm... you're making fun of me, aren't you?

#10 Mohammed say, "Tugging on veil
Good way to get sent straight to Hell,
Cuz that's not who we are!
Shall we check the bazaar
To see what sort of slaves are for sale?"

#11 And more to the point...

A limerick indeed, but commanding:
Extravagant, purple, expanding!
In the violet of e'en
It could never be seen,
The Purkinje effect notwithstanding.
