The official aimless Limerick thread
I thought since we're all up in coups
successfully writing haikus
we could all take a break
for sanity's sake
and just make these up in lieu
The most basic explaination for writing limericks is that the first, second, and last lines rhyme with each other while the third and fourth lines rhyme independently from the other lines. The third and fourth lines are shorter than the others, and are typically 5-7 syllables. The first, second, and last lines are typically 7-9.
Mine:
There once was a girl with a flute
whose jokes were always such a hoot
friends always did laugh
though many were daft
that girl was of course quite cute
holiday parties galore
always end up such a chore
trying to bake
a nice chocolate cake
no Courtney treats at the store
there once was a vegwebber named Kate
whose stomach with Avocado grew great
the father's AC
who knew that could be?
married life cannot be their fate.
Your turn!
This is harder than the haiku.
people want to know what is the scoop
and to be in the vegwebber loop
it's a small little tale
that's starting to smell
By golly, it's ck's weird poop
Oh, what kind of trend did I start?
Weird word fun that comes from the heart.
But now I must flee,
I ate too much chili -
And must leave y'all before I fart. >:D
There once was a vegan named Heli
Who could sometimes be incredibly smelly.
She tried to cause laughs,
But instead caused barfs(??)
From the gaseous chili in her belly.
You know I didn't mean to cause offense
With my joking about vegan flatulence.
What happened to this thread?
Did I kill it stone dead?
I have only laughter for my defense.
The suspense is making me sick
Someone please write a limerick!
Have you no wordyskillz?
Do try it, it thrills!
Or Heli will kick your butt double-quick.
>:( ::) :P >:D ;D :-*
I woke up this morning with cramps
And rolled over and turned on the lamp.
So what did I do?
Back the blankets I drew
And got ice cream, the breakfast of champs.
Printerguy is just out of his mind.
To the fungi he is so unkind.
He won't even try,
them in vegetable pie
Lest the gases erupt from behind!
Bwah, ha, ha, ha, ha........I kill myself! ;D
There once was a woman named Storm,
To mushroom hating she wouldn't conform,
So I made a deal with her cat,
What do you think of that,
And that cat my how it sure did perform,
My Grey's character I wanted known
So I took a short quiz to be shown
I once got Alex Karev
that I dismissed as what ev
Three times I got pretty boy Sloan
There once was a woman named Storm,
To mushroom hating she wouldn't conform,
So I made a deal with her cat,
What do you think of that,
And that cat my how it sure did perform,
Te, he, he.......I ate the cat!
Although you ask, "Can this be so?"
Two dear friends will have an avocado
It'll be crazy to see
Hope AC isn't hungry
When Kate gives birth to baby Avo
Now Storm ate her cat, Oh my!
It almost makes me want to cry
A vegan eat a cat!
I can't imagine that!
But I'm sure it tasted better than fungi.
;D :-D ;D :-D ;D :-D ;D :-D
I don't know these rules; this will be hard
Please, just don't call me a retard
You all bring me joy
I know I'm not coy
but baby Avocado I must guard.
I saw this and thought of you, printerguy!

The kingdom fungi does abound.
I could eat them all day by the pound.
Sauteed, baked and fried,
I can hardly decide,
Their rich flavor does simply astound!
The picture you sent made my day
But theres more I just have to say
The pictures a sign
On what we should dine
The mushrooms, just throw them away!
I'd like to write a goddamn song
But melodies come and then are gone
Though I'm quite smooth
With lyrics and with mood
It's the notes that are turning me off.
On a construction site time I spent
A below-the-ground hole was present
I rode in a truck
And with very bad luck
Down in to the hole I went
Was it something along the lines of this clean limerick?
there's a vegan named tino -
a Canadian bambino
on vegweb she posts
she's crush-worthy the most
tino, she's hot like cappuccino
Nice rhyme save, hh. 8-)
Thanks. I got out of bed to fix it. I still think the last line could use more "punch" in the rhythm.
Ha! I had a maraschino rhyme in my head that I didn't use. And, yes, it was dirty.
I have a dear wife who's from Greece,
From cleaning and cooking she won't cease,
She won't ever sit down,
She runs round and round,
Should I call in the riot police?
