Limerick Time! - Post your creations
Or somebody else's if you please!

:bounce:

Here's mine:

Oh, wonder of wonders I ponder,
This curious world cast asunder
That land where puns thrived,
Should be so deprived...
There's no rhyme for Irish? What blunder!

1. Here's one for Cal Peg:
Cal Peg is a friend we should thank,
for she puts up with much, let’s be frank
if anger let fly,
even then she’ll reply,
with a courteous line: my dear _blank_

4. My dear Xipe Totec,
Cal Peg is a friend we all need,
'Tis true that she's good indeed,
but never forgit,
where some say "frig it"
Peg drops the F bomb and the lounge falls through the space time continuum for a few minutes.

2. I didn't write this one but I have always remembered it through the years
There was a gay boy of Khartoum,
Who took a lesbian up to his room.
But they argued all night
Over who had the right
To do what, with which, and to whom.

3. Erin Go Bragh
Edited on Fri Mar-16-07 08:05 PM by Gormy Cuss
There once was a man called St. Pat,
Who never was fond of the rat,
With staff in his hand,
He thus did them ban,
And the leprechaun gave a tip o' his hat.

Gormy Cuss, I have been such a wuss,

5. One for u4ic!
If you pissed off u4ic, of late,
that’s a major mistake, you just wait,
you’ll find out before long,
that she’ll chew off your dong,
and in Canada use it for bait.

You’re entry 14 was deleted
when I read it I saw nothing heated,
but some-one on the fence,
must have taken offense,
so the mods had to act and omit it.

Oh well, clean it up and try again!

I wrote it right after the 'selection:'

There once was a Texas 'resident'
Who decided he'd like to be president
So he had bro and dad
Blur the meaning of chad
And set up a Supreme Court precedent

17. Here are a few of mine, in honor of a certain demagogue's misfortune
Edited on Fri Mar-16-07 10:34 PM by Orrex
I penned these a while back, so they may be a little too topical...

Rush, hoping that, sometime this summer,
He might "mentor" a young up-and-comer,
Had to settle instead
For bag of blue meds,
When he'd wanted to purchase a Hummer!

Thanks to little blue pills, he can urge it
To become artificially turgid.
Let that image remain
Deeply etched in your brain,
Because, try as you might, you can't purge it.

A loathsome Conservative whore
Was addicted to Oxy and more.
When they asked his excuse
For Viagra abuse,
He said, "Things were much harder before."

Unable, while on his vacation,
To rise to the happy occasion,
The Republican shill
Bought a bag of blue pills,
And he screwed, so to speak, his probation.

From the boner pills in his possession,
We learn an amusing new lesson:
That a Neocon fluffer
Ironically suffers,
In essence, a lack of tumescence.

When a sexy percussionist lass
Was moved by tequila to ask
The rotund Mr. Limbaugh
To try her marimba,
She found him not up to the task.


And an oldie but a goodie:

Sez Condi, "We've lost three Brazilians.
"Not soldiers, alas, but civilians."
Sez the Prez, head in hands,
"I just don't understand!
"How many are in a brazillion?"

27. A follow-up, if I may...
He haled from the Stavenger region
And claimed that his lovers are legion
But with one glass of stout,
The real story came out:
That, in fact, he was Dutch, not Norwegian.

23. Not in the same league, but mine own poor effort...
Consider the plural of mouse,
And also the plural of house.
Not "mouses" but "mice,"
It's "houses," not "hice,"
But the plural of grouse is...grouse.

Edited on Sat Mar-17-07 12:19 AM by Orrex
But consider the problem of "father,"
Which looks like it should rhyme with "bather!"
Don't forget "comb" and "tomb;"
Neither one rhymes with "bomb."
And, oh yeah--none of them rhymes with "lather!"

Say my name? What a curious ambition!
a mirror you’ll need, dear musician,
say it once for good luck,
and twice just for pluck,
but say it three times for ignition!

:evilgrin:

Many think that this name is just cruel
when in fact he’s an Aztec crown jewel.
to feed kind and kin,
he sheds his own skin
Xipe Totec’s the God of renewal.

48. One or two that just rolled off my warped brain
There once was a place full of Duers
who often put each other on skewers
A grumble or mumble
A wrong word or fumble
And the fan would be hit with Manure


There is a White House that we own
Occupied by criminals,killers and Drones
A Liar and thief
The commander and chief
And we are all screwed to the bone.

51. There once was a Sec of Defense
Whose prose was exceedingly dense
His philosopher's stone
Was an unknown unknown
I'll be damned if it made any sense

There once was a liar named Ari
Who swore that he never would marry
He longed for instead
Three strong men in his bed
Not just any old Tom, Dick, and Harry

54. And a Limerick for Crim Son:
Edited on Sat Mar-17-07 03:40 PM by Xipe Totec
When Crim Son from Maine offered kisses,
a hasty line formed for the missus,
but it came to an end,
when she heard from a friend,
That the girlfriend’s had thrown fits and hisses.

He's shallow and dumb
His brain must be numb
He's got the IQ of a leaf

60. And to continue, if I may....
The Shrub had a fervent belief,
he could grow by becoming a thief
by the time he was finished
his size so diminished,
that he changed from a Bush to a leaf.

63. ok
a lame mind with the last name of bush
had a job that he though was quite cush
then he tried to wage war
but his planning was poor
and was finally thrown out on his tush

66. one more
our president is quite the phony
and his comments are mostly baloney
but when he gets stuck
he passes the buck
and relies on his toady named tony

67. ok - this is becoming an obsession
if you ever go hunting with dick
rather than guns use a stick
his aim is quite bad
and the results could be sad
if you're lucky all you'll get is a knick

76. Dr Dan is becoming obsessed,
with creating the Limerick best:
"To be truly sublime,
it should do more than rhyme...
it should skewer George Bush and the rest".

:hi:

77. my limericks were not very good
so I guess that I really should
kick the obsession
and seek a profession
where I won't be misunderstood

78. I can only hope this thread is done
but I guess it was really quite fun
let me say that I wish
that all the Irish
now consider me their favorite son

68. A Limerick
A limerick is just a rhyme
That runs in a meter of time.
And as it goes faster,
You sense disaster --
Afraid you'll fuck up the punchline.

72. An Epic Limerick
There was once a man named Monocle Moe.
He wanted more monocles, though.
He met some crazy fuck
who would shout, "War!" and duck,
and the two of them planned it to be so.

They found a man named Bishop Bob.
Making promises was his job.
Those three went traveling,
to meet their country's king,
who gave them some people to rob.

So Crazy Fuck got to have his war,
and then Moe walked through the door,
to the people's dismay,
but Moe got Bob to say,
"In Heaven, you'll have riches galore!"

Then monocles were made by the ton,
until the day was done.
They broke many a back,
so the idea to attack
started spreading one day in the sun.

Crazy Fuck tried to stop this new plan,
but his war machines could not withstand
the thousands of stones
that collided with his bones,
and Bob was sent to his dear Promised Land.

79. And one for the freepers...
A freeper came here playing hooky
and in time was longer a rookie
till one day this smarty,
said Democrat party…
and swallowed a big granite cookie
