You beat me to it, Peter!
my offering (for what it is worth) was as follows:-
Trilby was rather a dish
With a voice that was fairly deepish
Her Début to Finale
Was controlled by Svengali-
-'s hypnotic eyes - cold as a fish.

As a man Little John Bland was a loser
Mainly because his manly mind was muzzy
But John was beautiful
And also mutable
He changed his name and "Jean" became a huzzy

If you wish to make love to a maid,
It don't do to be starchy or staid:
Remove panty-hose
So she won't twitch her toes -
Who knows? you might get twice-laid!

Note: This is not a Sparteye Game reply. My dictionary didn't list "searching" without a "g". But The Coasters did back in 1957, so... Well, Sherlock Holmes Sam Spade got nothin', child, on me Sergeant Friday, Charlie Chan And Boston Blackie No matter where she's secluded She's gonna hear me a comin' Gonna walk right down that street Like Bulldog Drummond 'Cause I've been searchin'  Otherwise, Rhuby, I think your twitching toes in panty hose poem epitomizes the Limerick. Thank You.

Thank you, jj - and your response, whilst not stictly a limerick, is an excellent use of what was given. I have now put in the errant "G" - it haad got caught up on a string, somewhere (that's my theory!)

It's time – you may want to seclude
Yourself from the world, 'cause it's rude.
Undead are now lurching;
For fresh brains they're searching.
It's the Zombie Apocalypse, dude!
Couldn't resist; nonetheless, it's jj's turn.

The cons in a Halloween jailbreak
Had nothing to feed on but stale cake
But they both said, “Oh My!
Let’s make pumpkin pie!”
And tucked in to a good jack-a-lant bake.

A mob on the rampage will curse,
Ransack your house, burn it, or worse.
And that's about it –
I have to admit
I've no more to say in this verse.

Candy, I think this is an A.C. limerick trick, I ask... if you are a house what could be "worse" than being ramsacked and burned down? Make 'em beg for more, eh A.C.?

if you are a house what could be "worse" than being ramsacked and burned down? Indeed. However, if you want more: A mob on the rampage will curse, Ransack your house, burn it, or worse. It takes something drastic Like bullets (of plastic) To make the wrongdoers disperse.

Good one, Candy, topical and nicely constructed. except... I like your "tweet-a-tweet" ending best. Because in the e-world the term "tete-a-tete" is as passe as "passe" and... You forgot to leave us two new words.

As it is close to 2:30 AM her time, and she probably won't
get back here until evening time, her time, maybe
if you all want to work on it take her poem and
take two words from it:
maybe
tete-a-tete and passe
Just a suggestion.

It's all powder at forty below.
Take the chair lift or grab the rope tow.
Put your mask on your face
And your flippers in place.
It's a great day to snorkel in snow!

The forum software deleted the subject line from my limerick, refused to let me edit it, and won't allow me to reply to it, so I'm trying to post it by replying to Candy's post again.

CHASER – CHECKER
Don Juan was a passionate necker
(That word isn't in my spell-checker).
A chaser of girls
And the spouses of earls,
He proved an adroit marriage-wrecker.

"King Phy can order fresh grits served fried"
Linnaean ordering initially implied
Sometimes the inside is out
For instance give this a shout
"Nazi's used shadeskin Jews; moral everday virtues misapplied"
Answers:1)Kingdom phylum order family genus species form
2)Reverse order of the eight planets

The students put on a great skit,
Performed with aplomb and cool wit,
Except for a slacker
Who sat in the back, her
Whole focus on popping a zit.

There was a young cook who got flustered,
And poured key lime juice in the custard.
His boss said "You're thick,
And deserve a good kick –
Quite frankly, you can't cut the mustard".

That cook has a case for harassment AC I did this one for key/kick.... On returning home, Ivy fumbled for the key With arms full of groceries she needed to pee The door she did kick By now she was frantic to get to the loo instead of the laun'dry

I said to her, "Whither thou goest
I 'll go, though thou to-est and fro-est."
She rejected my love
With a sneer and a shove.
It turns out that my bid was the lowest.
