The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form (OEDILF.com) currently has 98,155 *original* limericks in its database with 11,653 of them written by one person. We believe both of these to be world records. Can anyone top these figures?

Does number of verses count?

For the purpose of this question, if you had, for example, a 10-verse limerick for a total of 50 lines altogether, I'd be more than willing to count that as ten limericks.

Sorry to be so long in replying. The site's automatic email response, the one advising me that someone had answered my question, was eaten by my spam filter.
