I. Goober's Green Breakfast
Goober Lear loved green eggs and bacon
He would spend hours on breakfast makin
He loved his bacon grease
And eggs stirred in green cheese
He loved to cook but more the tastin
II. Goober's Worst Fear
Goober badly missed his cousins dear
And on his lonesome days he did fear
Her cousins being girls
Could mean them cursed on twirls
Of ill mannered men like Goober Lear
III. Goober's Boring Day
One day found Goober bored of nothing
So he decided to do something
He tried flooding toilets
Making roaches his pets
But all went in vain and in sleeping
IV. Neither Medal Nor Ribbon
After years and years of practicing
Young Timothy Vane did win something
It wasnt a medal
Or a ribbon regal
It was the love of his one darling
V. Turkey in Albuquerque
There was a girl in Albuquerque
Who really loved her share of turkey
She ate and she ate well
Her stomach she let swell
Till all she could eat was dry gravy
VI. Old Age
When old age turns to be your burden
And your youth seems to be forgotten
Remember photos dear
Memories, love and fear
From us, these will never be taken
VII. My Ticket
My ticket to London spelled trouble
After it said to bring a double
So without any choice
I brought my cousin Joyce
And I ended up decked in purple
VIII. My Flying Friend
On the Island of Dr. Moreau
I found an awkward friend through and through
She loved to cry and cry
And laugh at dreams to fly
Until she herself finally flew
IX. Hugs for a Pounding
I miss the days when I was just wee
Playing all morn with girls so pretty
There werent any rules
No perverts or sad fools
Unlike now when hugs are for a fee
X. My Dead Bestfriend
One of my best friends has long been dead
But this friendship has not yet ended
He would always be there
Whatever the weather
Days are not unlike what I have said

Take number eight for example. I like the idea but Moreau and through does not rhyme. Now, if it was your intention to play with the shape and form of the limerick and it's rhyming scheme I can understand it. Otherwise you might consider changing that line.
Besides you have some troubles with rhythm and the number of syllables in some limericks. They are a bit hard to read out loud, but maybe that's just me reading wrong.

Thanks for the critique. I was playing with the notion of being nonsensical but I guess I still need to work on my rhythm and syllables. I must've miscounted the syllable count. *facepalm*
