6. Died? Died, you say?!





I'll have you know I put like two whole minutes effort into my post. And it rhymed, even. And it had good metre besides!

If I had two I'd be King
If I had four I'd be a pinball machine!

8. Help me finish this one:
A President named George W. Bush
Had his head so far up his tush
When they fell from the sky
He attacked the wrong guy
And...

What's next? :shrug:

10. I'll play:
There once was a man named Bucky
Who considered himself very lucky
'til he started to choke
on that damn Brazilian joke
...They buried him in Kentucky


Yeeeeah ... Not so great ...

12. Okay . . . I'll try too!
There once was a man named Bucky
Who thought that his life was sucky
He met a fine girl
Who gave him a whirl
And now all the do is

I suspect that this is the direction you wanted your post go! Glad to oblige.

15. There once was a man named Bucky...
Lone liberal of Paducah, Kentucky.
The 'Pubbies did test him,
But never did best him,
Forsooth, young Bucky was plucky.

16. There once was a poster named Grumpy
Whose sofa was orange and lumpy
She said "Zom, sit awhile"
Which of course made me smile
As long as I did not get jumpy!

18. Well
It was supposed to be that one person does the first line, and then someone adds the second and so on.

My original one was:

There once was a man from DU...


And then someone adds the next line and so on.

19. The GOP explains exit polling numbers
There once was a popular pollster
Who carried persuasion in his holster
To change every "Nay"
Into a "Yea"
-- his client's agenda to bolster.

25. My favorite Limerick. Not a continuation of your first line, though
a gray cat named Charley MacNab
took a trip to the Chesapeake by cab
he wound up in Waldorf
and lived on a small wharf
and spent his days fishing for crab

27. I'll try again last night's deleted poem of mine,
this time with further sanitization.



The money I made ******* ***** (hoy hoy!)
Is mainly invested in stocks (hoy hoy!)
I ****** on some *****
and bought some bonds once
But now I just mainly suck rocks (hoy hoy!)



This sounded great on my front porch about five years ago with about 20 drunks doing the "hoy hoy!" part.

28. There once was a man named Bucky
Edited on Sat Sep-16-06 07:15 PM by Evoman
whose front teeth proved themselves quite unlucky
While trapped in a fire
He chewed through a wire
And the resulting million volts were damn sucky.


Actually...this limerick was quite "sucky"
