Limericks

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

Okay!

I shall re-post my first limerick, because I haven't come up with a new one yet. All are encouraged to play.

There was a hot mama, Nymphette,
Who danced a top-notch minuet.
She spun on her toes
And tossed up a rose
To her fans, who would never forget.

[nymphette]

once in the q&q thread...
she got an idea in her head...
'let's write silly lines-
forget postcards and shrines'
and make limericks online here instead!!!!

[cdonley]

There once was a place called Nervous

Devoted to artly service

It takes all my time

My dollars and dimes

ButIGetToMake art like a whirling dervish


( :lol: okay - i know the last line is a little disjointed - but man its hard to rhyme with Nervous. It helps if you say the last line really fast ButIGetToMake is all one word - heehee)

[nymphette]

there once was a sad little topic
whose posts were almost microscopic
there were only three
and one was by me
here's a <bump> cuz i feel philanthropic!!!


i need to read more little poems
you dont' have to be like sherlock holmes
to know if you don't write
a limerick tonight
i'll send out the poetry gnomes!!!


okay, that one was even sadder.... but if nobody is going to play, i'll keep it up!!! ;) heh heh...

there once was a girl from Nantucket,
whose mother had just kicked the bucket.
But she also did say
on that very same day
that she was the one who had ducked it!


Boredom captures my brain
I fear I'm going insane.
But Crafts keep me busy
toss my brain in a tizzy
and keep me quite mundane.

[nymphette]

yay!!! kitty's come out to play!!!

and since i am here:

my headache's a thing of the past
though i know that it's not gonna last
if i don't get to bed
it'll jump on my head
and turn into a migraine real fast!!!

poetic licence... my grammar can be as bad as i want!!!

and i am still going to send out the gnomes... cuz i need MORE limericks... yes, i am very easily amused....

somebody start a silly joke thread????

how do you catch a cyber fish???
you use an INTERNET!!!

er... i'm done... and going to bed....

[VeronicasLovebug]

The cold air outside makes me shiver
the slightest breeze and my legs begin to quiver
when the cold begins to kick
the roads start to get slick
and i wish my favorite restaurants would deliver.

lol ok...so maybe not the best...but it's late! give me some credit ;) hehe


i got a silly joke for ya nymphette...

how many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

2...but either they gotta be really small people...or else they'd better have a really large lightbulb :-P lol

[cdonley]

I once knew a guy from York
Who really liked to eat pork

Bacon and ham
he ate it with jam

and shoveled it in with a fork

*oy!* There's a reason I'm not a poet! :lol:

[medeous]

there once was a girl named eve
and with monkeys she sought to deceive.
almost ready, poised to strike,
she was foiled by her lookalike.
but she has more evil plans up her sleeve!

[Cuilanië]

I've never written a limerick before... I'm still unsure of the rules, but here's a try!

I'm dancing online, spinning loopy
Alone in this light and stone city
I sit on my stool
I feel like a fool
But I know I am no longer lonely

[Seusomon]

There was a young woman from France,
Who said, "I'll leave nothing to chance"
so she stayed up one night
and took over the site
with us all in a bleary-eyed trance.

[Seusomon]

There was a low-flying blue airplane
who thought she was going insane
she looped up and down
and spun all around
and blew bubbles all day in the rain

[WindspiritWhimsies]

An accident really uncanny
Occurred to my elderly Granny;
She sat down in a chair
While her false teeth lay there;
And bit herself right in the fanny. :o

[Seusomon]

Medeous caused quite a scandal
a sock monkey being her handle
loved through and through
but feared by a few
quick, someone get me a sandal!

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

Ha! Good one.
:lol:

[Dalmaney]

Limerick therapy :P

There once was a GeoEng class
whose exam knocked me flat on my ass
but it don’t matter
if my ass is flatter
as long as I achieve a pass.

[Seusomon]

Rustell is all monkey obsessed
Thinks cheese is a photo-op best
But she is through and through
The cute kangaroo
We'll soon put her patience to test

Master Harrison L.K. Larter
Is a handsome and winsome upstarter.
On 10th January
His mama will query,
“Could my birthday boy be any smarter?”
:lol:

[sarahkate]

:D Good one Heather! & Happy Birthday #1, Harrison! :)

[nymphette]

:D heh heh!!! thanks for the limerick heather!!!

he's having a great birthday but can't quite figure out what all the fuss it about today.. ;) julian and i have sang happy birthday, the monkey version especially (they know those lyrics in the states tom??? must be a saskatchewan thing... :P)

made a teddy bear cake and 8 cupcakes, one for each letter... and just foun dout my sister bought a cake for him too!!!! and this is just his birthday supper, not even his birthday party!!! talk about spoiled, he can't even eat the cake!!! (though i'll let him play with his cupcake!!!) if he does happen to eat a bit, no worry becuase he'll either gag and spit it out or throw it up, so i dont' have to worry about the extra protein... ha ha... <sigh>

thanks to all for the birthday wishes for my little pootie burger!!!

hugs
robyn

You mean "Happy Birthday to you, You live in a zoo, you look like a monkey and you smell like one too"???

There once was an old man of Esser,
Whose knowledge grew lesser and lesser,
It at last grew so small
He knew nothing at all,
And now he's a college professor

[nymphette]

[Christine_0701]

I know...the funny part about my limerick...my poetry teacher told it to us, and said that was him :lol:
