Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)
Since limericks have a proclivity for the
topic of sex, and Freud did too, it is not surprising that there are a great
many limericks about Freud and Freudianism. Here are a few:
Sigmund Freud says that one who reflects
Sees that sex has far-reaching effects,
For bottled-up urges
Come out in great surges
In directions that no-one expects.
—Peter Alexander
"If you dream," said the eminent Freud,
"Your Id is in doubt, or annoyed,
By neuroses complex
From suppression of sex,
So passions are best if enjoyed."
—Russell Miller
Said Freud: "I've discovered the Id.
Of all your repressions be rid.
It won't ease the gravity
Of all the depravity,
But you'll know why you did what you did."
—Frank Richards
A quirky old gent, name of Freud,
Was, not without reason, anneud
That his concept of Id,
And all that Id did,
Was so starkly and loosely empleud.
—Martin Fagg
The youths who frequent picture palaces
Have no use for psychoanalysis.
And though Dr. Freud
Is distinctly annoyed
They cling to their long-standing fallacies.
—Unknown
