Limericks

[fractal]

Post yer Limericks 'ere.

Beware the pirate named Dread
Whose shipmates thought him dead,
His neck was the cost
Of a battle he lost,
Now he relies on a prosthetic head.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

There once was a lady from Sleight
Who travelled at the speed of light
She departed on day
In a relative way
And arrived the previous night.

Oh, and:

There once was a man on the moon
Who with the aid of the juice of the prune,
A flexible trowel
And two badly stained towels
Created his very own Dune.

(Apologies to Frank Herbert.)

As every good pirate should know
The secret to making it snow
Is to do things piratical
In a manner fanatical
And eat pasta until you explode

[EarthRise]

As every good pirate should know
The secret to making it snow
Is to do things piratical
In a manner fanatical
And eat pasta until you explode

RAmen to that one.

A pasta with grand intention
Procured a fantastic invention.
But drinking too deep,
He fell in His sleep,
And created another dimension.

And my personal fave:

There once was a man from Nantucket,
Who took to the sea in a bucket.
With a crack and a creak,
The side sprang a leak.
The man from Nantucket said 'Well, Damn.'

Aloha..Nantucket appears to be a breeding ground for limericks..& it's not even in Eire!


A wench wot lived in Nantucket
Wen go to da beach wid a bucket
Sez she, "I feel odd..
on da sands uv Cape Cod-
so I'm off to Thailand & Phuket..

I already stuck this one in a post today, but I figure it is worthy of being posted here as well.


While creating things both far and near,
The FSM had a bit too much beer,
Which caused blurring of plans
And some oddly made glands
(Though He perfected genus buccaneer).

I be here drinkin me ale
When me face gone become pale
After some staggerin'
and over board laggerin'
I woke up in the belly of a whale.

Both very fine limericks. I'm not nearly skilled enough to come up with one.

[Rev. Rowan Redbeard]

The secret lies in coming up with either a last line or the two shorter lines. Once you have those, you will need to putz around quite a bit. Often, you will find that you need to change rhymes. Once you do so, some lines will change, possibly even the ones you used to start in the first place. The trick is not becoming so attached to a part of it that you can't change it.

[PantyGnawer]

There once was a crevo named Hovind
From monkeys he didn’t descend
He got a bogus degree
From Patriot University
But the tax man got him in the end.
