Meadowlark,meadowlark
You play and play in every park.
Yet no one here
knows your happy cheer.
For football only do they embark.
Uh...let ME explain.
The meadowlark is our state bird, but Nebraskans only have
brains for UNL football. Go Big Red...it's like a fever.
Nothing can get through it, and it is incurable.
back to Uh,...VETINARY?

A brillant young student Joe was, golf was his only vice Often he cut Spelling Class, so he could correct his slice But he spelled veterinary: vetinaryAnd his teachers reacted extraordinarily They threw his clubs in a lake and crushed his balls in a vice.  RAINY DAY - RAMPAGE

It's a typical dull rainy day, With the post-Christmas sales under way. The shoppers engage In their yearly rampage, And Santa dismantles his sleigh.  TEMPERATE – TENACIOUS

It captures the moment as JJ says. Except here the temps
are way below freezing with snow all over everything.

Changing Time we try to temperate

DECIPHER – DECEIT
Now 2012’s nearly complete’
Resolutions with history compete
And desires that we sigh for
We neatly decipher
Next year with the utmost deceit!

The ship of state slips through the seas
Unbowed, still high-prowed, with fat fees;
But the fiscal cliff beckons,
Its ugly truth reckons,
And only a pseud hopes for ease!

Well-fed Warthogs excrete as a waste
The most foul-smelling brackish black paste;
If spread on the grass,
You just think “warthog arse”,
Part curry, but with arsenic laced!

C9H11NO4, *
I’m really not sure what it’s for;
But I think, if you hark to tons
Of experts on Parkinson’s
They’ll tell you it opens the door!
•Dopa’s chemical formula is C9H11NO4, - a bit of a cheat, really!

Maverick just beat me to it, but here's mine anyway:
A screenwriter sat in his villa
With sheets of the finest manilla;
He drank mandrake juice
Which set his mind loose
To write episodes of Godzilla.

Two fine limericks! Yours was far too good not to publish it here, AC.
QUASSIA – QUARRY
A disused slate quarry in Wales
Sets a scene for some deep and dark tales.
Midst the damp scrub-oak bowers
Quassia’s scarlet flowers
Hide a fiery Welsh dragon’s red scales!
BLASÉ - BLENDE

Was duped by a crook on the lam;
Treating her as a fool
He left her but one tool:
And thus a Dutch hoe digs prickmadam!

You're a fast one, Maverick - and I mean that in every sense of the word - but your limerick above is suggestive and lewd and funny. What are you....a professional?

On strike near the Adelaide line
Stood a picket who yelled "There's a trine!"
I looked up at the stars
And their aspect with Mars,
But he meant "railway vehicle" in Strine.

Superb! Well done mate Good on yer too, Rhuby. There once was a lass from Devizes Whose boobs were of two different sizes “Welladay!” she would sing as her bra failed to cling and the welkin smiled down on her prizes! Gravity -- Gravalax

If you suffer from panic attacks,
Try a portion of fresh gravalax.
If their gravity worsens,
Then try the next person's,
And so on until you relax.

Was degraded by spikes in a scrimmage.
No, the mirror can't lie,
There's no doubt of it, my
Monster ego has suffered some dimmage.

Buying gold is by far the best route
With world trade in a pickle

That a fire in the hold
Can be quickly controlled.
I admit that the smell's unallurin'".
