The Limerick Thread

Recommended Posts

A limerick is a five-line poem with a strict form, originally popularized in English by Edward Lear. Limericks are frequently witty or humorous, and sometimes obscene with humorous intent.

The following example of a limerick is of anonymous origin.

The limerick packs laughs anatomical

In space that is quite economical,

But the good ones I've seen

So seldom are clean,

And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

So.... :evildenk::biglaugh:

Won't you write a limerick or two?

It can really be quite fun to do.

You can write about The Way

Or even Greasespot Cafe.

You may even learn something new.

Friendly digs to posters should be Ok,

But please try to mind what you say.

This is supposed to be fun

Don't be "Attila the Hun"

We don't want to make Paw go all gray!

There once was a man from Ohio

Who said to himself, "My oh my, oh"

"I need some more money

And at least one more honey.

But where do I get them? I know!"

"I'll start my very own cult.

Every church that there is I'll insult.

I'll call it 'The Way'

I'll have the last say

No one will know that I'm really a dolt!"

Biblical Research...psych!

You told your mind "Take a hike!"

But the fountain still flows

And on The Way goes

But the president is now a woman.

:)

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Ya know -- I think I'll stop right here. :P

You did say keep it clean, eh?? ;)

But the good ones I've seen

So seldom are clean,

And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

Clean... within reason ;)

Clever is good.

The definition did say there is a strict pattern to the rhythm. A lot of people get it wrong. But two of my favorites derive their humor from being wrong!

There once was a poet named Stan

Whose verses never would scan

When told this was so

He said yes I know

But it's probably because I always try to stick as many syllables in the last line as I possibly can.

There once was a young girl named Jill

Who ran up and down a steep hill

When someone inquired

Say, don't you get tired?

She said, "Na!"

And another favorite from high school that Doojable will remember:

An amoeba named Sam and his brother

Were having a drink with each other

In the midst of their quaffing

They split themselves laughing

And now each of them is a mother

As far as writing some about the Way, I'll have to work on that.

I took the 'class' in SeventyFive

Right away, I heard the Jive

Go WOW, Go WOW NOW

Got sent to Cajun's Holy Ground

Some people listened, then said BYE BYE.

ThirtyThree Years have now passed

But I stayed through the POOP blast,

Then came: Purge the Household, Purge it NOW

Walked away & have since learned how

To love God & for His forgiveness, I've asked.

No longer believe the law of believing

Do believe someone was deceiving

Set out with a plan for a great following

Years later, many were left wallowing

But with Greasespot's help are now ACHIEVING!!!!!!

After WOW there was something more,

You could sign up and go into the Corps,

Learn how to hear God,

While you're scrubbin' the john

I'm so glad that I found the door.

(I almost said something else in that last line!)

Oldie but Goodie

As a beauty I am not a star

There are others more fair by far

But my face I don't mind it

Because I'm behind it

It's those in front whom I jar.

A little self defecating humor.

There once was a man from New Knoxville

Who had trouble keeping his cock still,

He'ld see a young woman

and he would go runnin'

For hours or more with no pill.

:o

Here we tell the 'other side of the story'

Of The Way when it was in it's 'glory.'

We may bicker and fight

But comes out all right.

We try not to make it too gory.

Here's one I wrote for my WOW brother, many moons ago. (He'd been in the Air Force, and really LOVED peanut butter!) I can't believe I still remember it.

An airplane mechanic named Bob

Had to do an emergency job

He pasted a rudder

With smooth peanut butter

And used chunky to fix a loose knob

(I'm still working on one about TWI.)

Ole M^rtindale thought he could dance

He donned tights and gave it a chance.

The crowd was dismayed

At what was displayed.

Perhaps he should have stuck to his rants.

On stage stood the man with the 'power'

and he would preach and scream by the hour

if you sat in the front

on your hard tree stump

you ended up with a shower.

YUK!!!! :blink:
