I can't do limericks for nuts, but this was fun and easy. ~ Capfka

This may be fun, but it’s not at all easy! For me, the AnnaS above and Coffeebean’s distracted musician, even if the latter is not quite to the rules, are sharpest so far.

G*D forbid there be any *real creativity in here... fine!

Mikey make mikey moo! Does the repetitive nonsense have to rhyme?<eg>
Jack and his wife (the Sprats)
eat the last speck of food
lick the plate clean.

Rest'raunts are s'prisingly (ha-ha)
Nonconfrontational
smiling and eating not
causing a scene.


I'm sticking to my *notorious couple clause... we need to "bridge the communication gap" {crossthreading-e}

ASp - I wanna know how you got away with "hip, hip, hooray" being accented "DUM dum dum DUM instead of the actual® DUM DUM dum DUM *we speak...

according to one practitioner of the art form, "Double dactyls are not for sissies and strictness of interpretation is the rule of the day." so it goes.

As in, where they'd go if you were actually® saying it as opposed to where they'd go if you were forcing them into the required pattern?
