Is there anything similar to Limericks in Russian?

There is such a thing as "russkij limerik" which has a built in unspoken
obscenity:

Ivan Ivanych izdavna
Nosil s soboj kusok ... gazety

[Comment]  Really? So, is that the Russian limerick? How interesting.
There's a site full of limericks in Russian which, as we now know, are not
the same as Russian limericks, and not all of the limericks on the site are
obscene. http://kulichki.rambler.ru/limeriki/
And there's a game analogous to Millionaire. It's called O, Schastlivchik!,
and one can find it on the web and download it.

Yours,
