Got any? Here is one I thought of biking in to work this morning:
There once was a gent named Robbins,
The man really knew how to pound pins,
When he went up The Stone, often alone,
He always came back to Liz's big grins.
While maybe not as catchy as a photo TR, at least it is (somewhat) climbing related!

I just wrote one and posted it on gunks.com, in honor of a climber who rappelled off without checking whether his ropes reached the ground. Upon discovering they didn't, he yelled for help. Dyed-in-the-wool Gunkie and local climbing emporium owner Rich Gottlieb happened to be walking by. He soloed to the top of the cliff with a rope and rescued the guy. And so we have
There once was a climber named Brown
who rappelled when his ends weren't down.
Not to worry said he
I'll just shout, "Rescue me!"
But alas---Gottlieb was in town.

Guido special:
"There once was a climber named Powell.
Whose antics were suspect and foul.
In place of a Bong
He used Ropers Dong
While Roper cut loose with a howl!"

There was a climber named Bird,
of who many rumors are heard.
He claimed to see the light
when he went so far to the Right
That he thought Atilla a liberal turd.

my second grader brought this home,
(this may not abide per the grammatical rules of limericks..)
two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl.
one was a very happy soul,
the other took the gloomy view,
"we shall die! he cried without more ado.
and so with a last despairing cry,
he flung up his leg and said,
"GOOD BYE!"
Said the other frog,
with a merry grin,
"I can't get out.
But i wont give in.
I'll just swim around till my strenth is spent.
Then I will die the more content.
Bravely he swam 'til it would seem,
his struggle began to churn the cream.
Out on top of the butter he stopped
and out of the bowl he gaily hopped.
What is the lesson tis easily found?
If you can't get out keep swimming around.

Walking along this time.
I was confronted by this climb.
It’s like my walk was broke.
I climbed so high, I choked.
This climb was fine.

A famous climber named Donini,
Was not known, just for his weenie.
He climbed so well for so long,
Folk singers would have made songs,
If not for him being: Donini.

There once was a man called "the Dugger",
who in the mountains was one tough bugger.
'Til he thought he could ski,
and blew out his knee.
Now he's just a poor crippled fugger!

There once was a lady from Dallas,
who used a dynamite stick for a phallus.
They found her vagina in North Carolina,
and her ass at Buckingham Palace!

Who some thought a bit of a meanie
Cantankerous at best

While frontpointing a slab of Linguine

A climber named guido afloat
made up poems that he sent from his boat
Is he a climber
or is he a rhymer?
He can spin a story of note
