I'm posting this here for dear Helen, Who at first thought her thread was a melon, Now your limerick blitz Is one of our hits, Where the sequel will end, there's no tellin'! Edited-in by request for continuity's sake:
>by Milum
Overheard comments made by the prim, proper, pedant, ladies that will attend the Wordapalooza June 2002
“That Milum is the Final Gentleman, And who would of thought the things that he has thunk, He is so charming, And no one he’s harming, Lying -not laying- there on the floor, dead drunk.”

There they'll be by the side of the pool Five thousand napkins to mop up the drool Musick and Milum George Dickeld I mean to say they'll be pickled Each trying to win the "most enigmatic" duel. Overheard comments made by the prim, proper, pedant, ladies that will attend the Wordapalooza June 2002Guess the resident hussy wouldn't qualify as a member of this group, right? & <EG>

There once was a Lady named Helen, Who despaired of her erratic spelling, But her wit was so wise Her observations were prized By AWADers. That goes without telling.

A gourmet from east of Siam, Had a penchant for green eggs and ham, with slices of quince and after-dinner mints which he'd eat whilst perched on a jamb.

Yippee - they've made a comeback! For a while had ceased the limerick attack. But I must confess I did miss them - yes! Now I'm no longer a sad sack.

A former sad sack (now recanted) recomposed poems she'd once taken for granted inspiration came flush admonitions aside she did brush to write limericks - inspired, never canted!

Oh, Helen, don't be hard-hearted. Please help finish what you have started. My mind can't get free Of your limerick-ery. From this rhythm, it seems, I'll ne'er be parted!

Why is it that some folks get furious, And lapse into language injurious? This descent into swearing Is quite overbearing. A habit unpleasant - but curious.

Ill winds can always be found at times, and in places, they abound Be we can have fun, ill winds,we can shun If we don't hear them, do they have sound?

The thread is called Wordplay and Fun, And nobody here is a nun! A limerick by nature Is ribald nomenclature, So the prudes can go soak in the sun!

In private my comma was dropped, I see, now, I shouldn't have knocked. But my prediliction Is to come through the kitchen, Though the door, there, is so tightly locked!

By limerick I lose my addiction This doesn't match any prediction! It's not written in sand That I'll be an old hand It's a fact, truth's stranger than fiction!

Helen's completely correct: In a dialogue of intellect, Swearing and shouting And spewing and spouting Are ill winds one cannot respect.
So remember who was guilty of it, And remember too who rose above it. For the good of the board Which one should be ignored? And which one should be told to shove it?

Words written in sand are so fragile That their fleeting employ must be agile, From 'addict' to 'old' Naughty habits grow bold, Tellin' time, "In my heart, I'm still bad, chile!" ---------------------------------- Congrats! No more 'addict', dear Connie! Your 'old hand' is cool, well-earned, and bonnie! We will never grow bored With the joy you have stored, Boy, those mushrooms must make you real goney! (and for ending like that, I'm 'real goney', too!)...well, try to find somethin' else to rhyme with Connie and bonnie, go 'head!

Newbie and Strange, i understand seem less desireable than Old Hand but wit and grace should rule this place, An ideal, maybe, but wouldn't it be grand!
if we treat titles as Pooh Bah or Addict as if they were some kind of edict instead of whim who's virtue is slim then virtualy empty post to achive, i predict!
Friendship here is silver, shiny bright to maintain it, we polish with all our might but brimston and fire tarnish desire so from such caustic vapors, take flight!
as just a short aside, brimestone, is a burning sulfur, and sulfur dioxide is a prime cause of tarnish on silver. -- i started out trying to rewrite the girlscout song about "Make new friend, keep the old, One is silver, one is gold"
