Topic: ABOUT "LIMERICKS" cab you use this style of poetry for a song?

Should it be possible to add chords and creating a song? I have a few nice limericks.
What kind of music style fits here to a limerick?
YES, I FOUND A FEW CHORDS TO HAVE A LIMERICK SONG.
SEE THE SONGWRITING TOPIC.

1) “A Clown on Viagra�
A clown went to Doctor McDougal
with pain in his whatcha-ma-doodle.
With turns of his wrists
and a couple of twists
he’d made it look just like a poodle.

2) There was a doc who played guitar
He had no hands and never got far
He found a finger on a street
And used it to meet and to greet
But they took it throwing it under his car

There was a president in a country quit far
He loved a lot of girls and a cigar
He smoked it his face became red
He never had sex in his bed
So now he plays sax and guitar

I know a man who calls himself Guppy
The love of his live was his puppy
One day he crossed the street
Suffering from a heartbeat heat
His dog loved to see the seas choppy

There once was a guy called Guppy,
Who went out to buy a puppy,
He was blind as a bat,
And instead bought a cat,
And gave it the name of Yuppie.

My goodness, Guppy is an awful name to find rhymes for.

There was a young upstart guitarist
Drew plaudits from all but the charmless
for scintillating appeggio,
blue, langourous legato
and breaking more strings than the harpist.

He swung his gee-tar cross his shoulder,
Stood Tall like Rambo the soldier,
But he ended up sick
When his uranium pick
nuked his knuckles and and sizzled his shoulder.

Guppy, the name he was known as,
Wouldn't rhyme with any word we have,
But he'd strum at his thing,
His guitar strings would sing
And everyone would just forget that they'd been trying to find a word that might possibly rhyme with Guppy.
