I wrote a limerick on another board and after having been through wofa's crash course in limerick writing and furiously counting syllables and such like on my fingers I made the rhyme and almost wrote "how bout it wofa? Do I pass?" Then I remembered u-oh wrong board.

I didn't continue with the original concept because I had offered the last pair of words, upon which nobody bit.
A pullover sweater of wool, er-
Gonomically kind to the puller,
Which adheres to the bylaws

Tell me where they were ( I backpaged about 32 pages, so wofa
was correct, but am in quite a hurry at the moment, and could
not find them:_ and I'll have a go.

Back on 6/26/11, post no. 200731: The two bikers laughed from their tandem:
"We take all our rides quite at random.
When we hit the road,
Though the world should explode,
Our trips all work out as we planned 'em."

His demeanor, so flat bellicose,
Took not long for her to diagnose:
"Yes, you're handsome, dear Ben,
Like a god among men,
But your manner is utterly gross."

He wanted to be Boston's goalie,
But they said he was too roly-poly.
He ate spinach and leeks
To lose tons in just weeks,
Rather than go very slowly.

I just had to highlight your wonderful words, just in case others missed them, Peter. No wonder you are drunk with success... amazing.

Just had to see if I could do it, but don't want to spoil it for anyone else. I hate my intestines: they growl.
It feels like a cobra in bowel.
My program entails
Flushing out my entrails
With a potion laid in with trowel.

When I'm sick and I'm down with a fever
My brain is a puckish deceiver.
When it gets most intense
I can fetch, leap a fence,
'Cause I think I'm a Golden Retriever.

I have a week of appointments - but when this second week
from Hades is over I'll be getting back into limericks, etc.
This is good, Peter, I love golden retrievers.

The new guy was not very sharp,
With a strong predilection to carp.
After one whiny, cheap quip
We drowned him in sheep-dip,
And carried him home in a tarp.

Such a success he'd been with that old locket
At the pawn shop where he stopped,haggled and hocked it
that on his way home Mark made it a point
to go in for a drink at the old beer joint.
Awaking next morn he had no funds in his pocket.

Or maybe Scotland.
The Scotsman did little but ogle
His fancy new globe by Replogle.
.."I'm offering, Folks,
.. International jokes!"
And if they don't confuse you, his brogue'll.
FINE - FLAIR
two fine words which should give your imaginations free rein -- soar away!
