Write a Limrick!

edited May 2009 in Forum Game
Seeing as today is Limrick Day, Let's write some limricks! ^_^

A forum like this on the net
Is an interesting place, one would bet.
But with grammar enforced
(checked with ev-er-y post)
Mr. P will have a job yet!

Oh, and let's try not to start all of them with "There once was a [noun] from [location]..."

Hmm...
There one was a [Noun] from [Location]
Who [Verb]-ed every [Noun][Qualification].
[Pronoun][verb]to[verb]
[Pronoun][verb][adverb]
And [verb]-ed all the way to [location]

    That isn't technically a limerick. A limerick's 3rd and 4th lines should rhyme. "Enforced" and "post" do not rhyme.

  • There once were two fellows from Beacon
    On Geeknights they always were speakin'
    When asked, "Are you gay?"
    They said, "Suffice to say,"
    "There's a reason the show stops on weekends."
  • A UNIX saleslady, Lenore,
    Enjoys work, but she likes the beach more.
    She found a good way
    To combine work and play:
    She sells C shells by the seashore.
  • There was a young lad named Jason,
    Who believed in neither God nor Satan.
    He cared not to dwell
    In Heaven or Hell,
    And doubted the divinity of Creation!
  • There once was a fellow from Maine,
    Who was short, fat, and prone to complain.
    Out strolling one day
    In a fine, sunny May,
    His heart burst, popping all of his veins.

    There once was a monk named Kellhus
    with a wizard who was awfully jealous.
    For when the mage went away,
    it was time of spry Kellhus to play
    and Esmi's legs would never close right again their after.

    R. Scott Bakker can suck it. :P

    EDIT:
    OK, I've got the rhyme pattern A,A,B,B,A

    There once was a monk named Kellhus
    who made his wizard awfully jealous.
    For when the mage went away,
    it was time of spry Kellhus to play
    but Esmi's peach had been pitted by Sarcellus.

    That would be great if the last line actually rhymed.

    Cnaiur was happy until one day
    A mysterious man set him astray
    Thier fun wasn't clean
    If you know what I mean
    Breaker of horses and men, you say?

    There once was an innocent poster
    Who was young and a bit of a boaster
    When he tried out his work
    He encountered a jerk
    And was flamed as if cooked by a roaster.

    With finals only days away
    I find that there's not time to play.
    for I study all night
    by LCD light
    then I study again through the day.

    Try changing the last line of that to:
    "then again, study all through the day."

  • I changed it to "then I study again through the day"
  • Creationists start a dispute.
    Atheists say "does not compute."
    Many long battle scenes,
    'Till Scott intervenes,
    "First FSM, you must refute."
  • There is this bird called the pelican
    Whose beak can hold more than it's belly can
    He'd put some fish in his beak
    He'll keep it there for a week
    And I'll be damned if I know how the hell it can!
  • Hey, I'm necroing this thread because I need to crowd source something.

    For one of the CTcon panels I'm running, I need a few limerick descriptions of animes, so if any of you could help me out, that would be great. I'll start:

    If you’ve been sent to a penal cote
    In his book your name he has wrote
    The boy Light Yagami
    Was given by a Shinigami
    A devious dangerous Death Note

    The limerick is a really dumb art form
    That very few people can perform
    Using poor grammar
    Should land you in the slammer
    It's "written" not "wrote," you flim-flammer

  • I'll admit I stretched for the rhyme
    But understand, I'm a bit pressed for time.
    Call me a retard
    But limericks are hard
    And it isn't nearly the worst grammar crime.
  • Jason, that meters even worse than the last one. Aren't limericks supposed to be a certain number of syllables, and A-tumpitytumpitytum?
  • thatsthejoke.jpg
  • There once was a Dhampir named D
    Who battled the evil Count Lee
    He roamed the wasteland
    with his snarky left hand
    And sliced every ghoul and zombie
  • Yeah, yeah, we got it the first time.
    You could have just been really bad at it, how am I to know?
  • They once built an EVA at Nerv
    the last humans left to preserve
    built from somebody's mom
    for to weather God's bomb
    Pressure Shinji doesn't really deserve
  • There once was a man named Goku
    And wouldn't you know it, he flew!
    He was an alien from space
    A very monkey-like race
    But he fights for us humans, so phew!

    (That last line is really bad, I'm so sorry)
  • (That last line is really bad, I'm so sorry)
    It's fine if it sucks. Editing is for the weak.
  • There once was a Viking named Egil
    whose temperment most would peg ill.
    He reached for his sword
    stood up and then roared,
    and split Bard in half like a bagel.
  • If you want some tofu in a jiff
    You should have it delivered by drift.
    With a slip and a slide
    down the mountain side
    The AE86 is terrif.
