This is for you Helen since you mentioned you liked limericks. (I looked for a limericks thread to continue on with, but I didn't find one... forgive the presumption of this newbie starting a new thread...)

There once was a woman whose thighs,
Were as strong as a wiseman is wise.
She took great delight,
In squeezing men tight,
If they satisfied her with their size.

Of course, we know size doesn't matter.
Whether it's shorter or fatter,
It's all how you move,
Once you get in that groove,
And neatness counts, try not to splatter!

Tross brings some limericks, riske,
in order to brighten our day,
She repents starting thread,
but not what she's said,
good thing the gutter police are away.

Southern belles are most curious bunch,
One pictures them meeting for lunch
Attired in hats, ribbons and bows
Talking of fashion and clothes,
Not writing limericks that pack a punch!

So much for the rhythms of time
to punctuate speaking in rhymes
our Helen she goes without
caring one way or another, not that it really matters, yet
always her meaning's sumblime

Welcome to the board, by the way!

The above link is a perfect example of why we don't like to post more than 99 posts to any one thread. If you read the whole thing, you will notice that posts 100 and beyond have lost their way. If you want to avoid that happening even sooner, go into "edit profile", click on "display preferences" and change the number in the box below this phrase "Total posts to show on one page when viewing a thread in flat mode (default is 10)" to 99. Once you have done this, you will never have to click on "show all" or seperate page numbers!

"at least..."

The question does here now remain
When the rhymes or the meter refrain
from the letter of law
does the poem show flaw
and should either be shown such disdain?

There was once a magickal caster,
Who learned his art faster and faster.
But what does it mean
That he has not been seen
Since he uttered the name of Hast--urk!!!
