Scott Harrison: Sigmund Freud
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
