Obama, Hummers, and Fawns: A Collection of Limericks

Obama
You've probably heard of a man named Obama,
who was raised by his strong, single mama,
one day he says,
"I'm gonna run for Prez,"
and now he's looking for Osama.

Graduating
I graduated from high school last summer,
and then I was faced with a bummer,
no one would hire me,
cuz then they'd fire me,
so I'm living in a broken down Hummer.

Britney Spears
You might've heard of someone named Britney Spears,
who, now and then, cries a whole lot of tears,
her career went down the toilet,
and her bald head just spoiled it,
and now she has many fears.

Big Gun
There was once a farmer named John,
who startled a poor little fawn,
he got his big gun,
decided to run,
and now the poor fawn is gone.

Well... I see what you were trying to accomplish in these. Truly funny limericks are incredibly hard to write, so props to you for trying. However, you humour came off a bit forced. It seemed like you wrote these very quickly, without much thought. Really good limericks are funny because of the language they use, and it's usually impeccably placed. Yous seemed awkward. Try reading them out loud, you'll have to speed up to fit the words into one line. Keep writing, you show a lot of promise.

pretty good, but not very funny (no offense) creative, but try and add a little more humor!
