"Y you?" you yell.
"Y you, you yawners?
You yobs yelling YOLO?
You YouTubing youths?"
∙
You, you yielded years. Yet, Y?
Y you? You yowl—
∙
Y’s your yard yellow?
Y’s your yin yang?
Your yerba yucky?
∙
Y’s your yass! yesterday?
Y’s your yearbook yellowing?
∙
Y’re your yes-men yeomen?
Y’s your Yggdrigsil yew?
Y’s yourself you?
∙
You, yearning yearly.
Yes. You’re yearning you.
∙
Yearn your yolks yummy.
Yearn yaks yeaning young.
Yearn your yard’s yarrow
yellow yet.

A few silly limericks, from the Limerick Challenge:
