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!
My bike kinda nearly got run over
By a jerk in a giant land rover.
And my bum is way sore!
I can't take this no more!
At least, for this week, cycling's over. >:(
I'm sorry to hear of your bike,
I know how that must feel like,
A car once crashed my ride,
It was brand new and I cried,
So in that way I guess we're alike.
Never fear, no harm was done.
A poet exaggerates for fun!
But I learn to observe;
My life to preserve...
So I don't end up dying young. :>
Ha! I had a maraschino rhyme in my head that I didn't use. And, yes, it was dirty.
oh, send it to me cause, like i totally have crushes on tb :)>>> :)>>> :)>>>
Crike. I can't remember it now. Since I was writing the limerick from your perspective it felt weird to put anything too dirty in it since I was writing it.
It was dirtier than this, but it went in the last line. Guh. I honestly can't remember the line, but it had me laughing because of how absolutely inappropriate it was. (This one goes WAY over in the syllable count.)
there's a vegan named tino -
a Canadian bambino
on vegweb she posts
she's crush-worthy the most
tino - I'd like to tap dat marachino
So many vegweb crushes
and hence many blushes
we all want to know,
our curiosity does show
we should each have crush look-alike (vegan) plushes
;D
there once was a barn in el paso
where teens would go and smoke grass-o
the farmer found out
and gave a big shout
now its locked and there is no trespass-o
:P
HAHA
I laughed at yours animal_g
Thats funny your poem about grass
That farmer he sure had no class
But to smoke in his barn
Might give him alarm
Better that farm to bypass
:D
Where did the poets all go,
The poems are all coming so slow,
So pick up your pen,
Begin writing again,
And the ryhmes will once more start to flow.
The product of a mind saturated with LOLz...
I made you a cookie, but I eated it.
I made you a LOLcat, but I deleted it.
And with Ceeling Cat's aid
I was not afraid -
I faced the LOLrus and defeated it.

A+ ! ;D ;)b
I've spent all day studying anatomy
Learning every muscle in the body
If i see just one more
I might hit the floor
And rupture my thoracic cavity

eta: I made it into a pictorial poem. Plz to be voting for mai LOLimerick, kthxbai. :-*
It is great to see the poets are back,
I thought they gave this thread the sack,
Guess they needed some time,
To come up with a rhyme,
So I probably should cut them some slack.
I tried to come up with a trick
To write a witty limerick
But I'm really quite dull
Rather thick in the scull
So I've got to dispatch with this quick!
I asked for a unit transfer
and thought it would happen much faster
now I don’t want to go
that I will is a blow
the news is a major disaster
Man, I feel real sorry for you,
Now what are planning to do,
Can't you just say no,
I'm not going to go,
Then you wouldn't feel so blue.
There’s really not too much to say
and nothing will make it go away.
My unit’s abolished,
my morale is demolished -
too bad crying won’t have any sway.
This is all really so sad
you did want it so very bad
well what can we do
just try not to be blue
you might just meet a new lad?
Today is National Limerick Day
From here on out, whatever you say
Must be in a rhyme
And bounce with the time
Get started without a delay
