Now you should give two words to be used by the
next person. Usually, tho' the roolz change
here everytime someone posts them, are the first
and last words on a paper dictionary page.

YOUTHFUL - ZENITH Prude alert. The fact is, I'm well past my zenith,
Not a popular guy to be seen with.
You see, to be truthful
My equipment's not youthful:
I just can't get a rise from my penith.
Edit: I jutht can't get a writhe…

ANNICUT – ANOTHER
Daniel drove to the stream, to the anni-
Cut built to be sold to his granny.
He was starting another
To sell to his mother.
He did not give a dam, did our Danny.

The computer made a printout for our friend Bill,
but the ink ran out and the machine went still.
"That's so probable", he said in a rush,
"Always happens to me, makes my work all mush.
Coming to work today just ain't no thrill"!

But not in Limerick, this time!
A sackful of Presents
A team of reindeer
Some snow-covered land and
A hint of mulled beer,
Saint Nick in the saddle
Beaming with good cheer:
All’s right with the World
Merry Christmas, My Dear!

CHARACTERISTIC – CHARM
St. Nick has an interesting characteristic -
Which, I suppose, only adds to his charm:
He arrives at a speed not much short of ballistic,
Causing the dogs to sound off with alarm.
He lifts to the roof by a force that is mystic,
Then grinds to a stop, to my shingles does harm.
If yet again he shows up to do this trick,
I'm climbing up there and busting his arm.

Kipling’s Indian friend, Gunga Din,
Decided to visit his kin.
But he rode on a tigress
And from his trip had to digress
When no-one would let the pair in.

Rhuby's word choices made me splenetic:
Every limerick I tried was pathetic,
I would splutter and choke
Like I'd swallowed spoke.
All the humor I found was synthetic.

(You want synthetic humor? I'll give you synthetic humor!)
Consider the fish-cum-giraffe.
The thought if its gills makes me laugh:
...With the length if its neck
...They must stretch out like Heck
And measure a foot and a half!

Just think of those index words: GILL - GIRAFFE.
It wasn't that much of a stretch, really. (Do I dare trot out that old Pooh quotation again, about a Bear of Very Little Brain?)

Gurning: any of those lads be ye? Certainly not!! I'm an Ex-pat Londoner, living in Lancashire - the folks up in Cumbria are a rum lot, even at the best of times; and I guess World Gurning Championships are hardly the best of times, if not exactly the worst of times.

Perhaps that is the source of his inspiration. I can imagine
him doing things in front of the mirror for hours.
Cut when shaving and then cringing would also inspire.
I really enjoyed the looks on the faces of the kids watching
the competition.

When Mary, the Dowager Queen*,
Was told a green flash had been seen,
Said, “I’m told that a clear
Pelucid atmosphere
Is a prerequisite for this scene."

*Mother of Edward VIII and George VI - died just before Coronation of Elizabeth II, so she was Dowager Queen Mother for almost a year.

Rhubs, your gauntlet's thrown on words unknown. Edit: luckily the Gauntlet's for wofa. - just read this http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dactyl . *wipes brow*. How may whole double dactyl words do I know? *counts on fingers* none! Further edit: is any and every six syllable word a double dactyl? I think so.

IRATELY is an amphibrach.
AMPHIBRACH's a dactyl.
ANAPEST's a dactyl,
DACTYL is a trochee,
TROCHEE is a trochee, too.
For that matter, IAMB is a trochee.
There's gotta be a poem in there somewhere.
Or maybe just a jump-rope chant...

I have to admit that I didn't notice it until you pointed it out, Peter. - It is amazing how we readd what we want to see.
