Not a limerick but I want to share my favorite pun joke
I once submitted ten puns to a pun contest, hoping one would win, but
No pun intended
I always thought that joke needs an actual pun in the first half so the "no pun intended" has a valid double meaning. I came up with:
I told the sad ghost ten puns to raise its spirits. No pun intendid.
It's word play.
No pun intended.
"No pun in ten did [win the contest]"
Yes I understand. It works spelled that way. But "no pun intended" doesn't work because there was no pun in the initial setup. In my version both meanings make sense
