On Friday I fly o'er Old Limerick
By nightfall, drinkin' a few pints *hic*
In Doolin a West Coast town
I'm wantin' craic o' renown
The laughter, the good times, the music

Yikes! This post just shoved me into Pooh-Bahhood!

Musick, like tutors in schools
For limericks, he lays outlines the tools
It should rhyme, it should scan
it should follow a plan
to bad for us, there ain't no stinkin' rules

Ain't you guys ever heard of a spoof?
It's a parody... would you like proof?
don't make me the same
as a stickler for *lame
I'm perverting a form too aloof.

"Don't cross the threads! Don't cross the threads!! EEEekk!
Damn. She went and did it anyway... #$*damn newbie!"

Bickery-Pickery
Andy the Musick Man
Argues with Helen 'bout
Meter and rhyme.
Words are flung back and forth,
Ultra-good-naturedly
Disagree? Yes! But they
Have a good time.

But... since it IS a Limerick thread, here ya go...

I enjoy planting herbs in a pot,
Some ice-tea on the porch hits the spot,
But you'll see from my verses,
And my interest in hearses,
A shy southern belle I am not.

Why? What did you think I meant?

Just watch it contract and expand,
How it pulsates when held in my hand,
The pink-purple skin,
Ridges out-veins within,
Yes, a good worm's what fishing demands.

never at a loss, musick comes up with the free-form limerick! :)

or, to put it another way:

So musick pokes fun at our helen
in respect of her rhythms and spelen
But I think he's quite rash
To outdo - or at the very least to emulate - Ogden Nash
What will happen now there is no telen

The effect of this poem's immense:
When you think that you've mastered its sense,
You consider it rude;
Indeed, rather lewd
But - Honi Soit Qui Mal y Pense!!

Tross tries to lead us astray,
With her first two limericks in play
but now she schemes
to give us dreams
of nightcrawlers on hooks, asway!

Why? What did you think I meant?
Tross headed her limerick lament
Wordplay leads some to think,
Of something else, purple-pink.
Should this thread be label'd "adult content"?
