A previous archbishop of Brizzie
Covered up a scandalous tizzy;
When the news got about
All the papers gave shout:
“You’d better resign – here comes Lizzie!”

A funambulist racked his brain
For a feat that would make his name
So high was his act
as a matter of fact
It could only be seen from a plane!

A very popular thread this, I note, though the Stales Index is "only" 0.16.

W.S. Gilbert (like Isaac Asimov, later) had something to say about limericks, too:

There once was a young man from Beeze
Who was stung in the neck by a wasp.
When asked "Does it hurt?"
He replied "No, it doesn't.
It would have been terrible if it had been a hornet."


Though Asimov was more appreciative of the form, and even publilshed a collection or five of 'em... [?white]

The fever and chills have passed
there may be an end to limericks, at last
but before i go,
i want to know
your contributions have made it a blast!

I thought a list i would head
Limerick Writer's, Well Said!
but it would be sad
not to mention bad
to forget all those who only read!

I hope the my illness has been cause
and given us chance to take pause,
to have some delight
in the words that we write
And now we all deserve some applause!

Keiva, I love you, I do;
And you know that my love is so true;
I don't want to blow it
By not daring to show it;
Here's hoping you're happier, too!

It's Monday, and time for a fix
Of everyone's new limerix
You delight and amuse me
And sometimes confuse me
AWADers are quite the odd mix!

Alrighty - I'll add one more
No chance, though, of evening the score.
Of Troy keeps on writing
And keeps on delighting;
She's a hero of limerick-lore

I confess - I start to see red -
Limerick rhythms invading my head!
At work and at play
The beat dogs me all day.
It's a thing up with which I'm getting fed!

The ladies love humorous Milum;
His versatile wit will beguile 'em.
Pray the lord he's not single in
June, when we're minglin'
Lest his wiles, smiles and guile will defile 'em.

Ok, Keiva, wanna play hard ball, huh...

Overheard comments made by the prim, proper, pedant, ladies that will attend the Wordapalooza June 2002

“That Milum is the Final Gentleman,
And who would of thought the things that he has thunk,
He is so charming,
And no one he’s harming,
Lying -not laying- there on the floor, dead drunk.”



Ha! this is the 99th and last post on this thread. Good-bye.
