Limericks (For your mild amusement)
For those of you who don't know what a limerick is (*gasp* ) Let me explain. A limerick is a type of poem with a simple set of rules for formation. It consists of five lines total. Lines 1, 2, and 5 have three beats (roughly 7 or 8 syllables) and all rhyme. Lines 3 and 4 have two beats (roughly 5 or 6 syllables) and rhyme with eatchother. Thus the rhyming format is aabba. So... Line 1) 3 beats, Rhyme A Line 2) 3 beats, Rhyme A Line 3) 2 beats, Rhyme B Line 4) 2 beats, Rhyme B Line 5) 3 beats, Rhyme A Example: "The limerick packs laughs anatomical Into space that is quite economical. But the good ones I've seen So seldom are clean And the clean ones so seldom are comical." -Vyvyan HollandAnd in that last example, I've told you the last bit if info about the Limerick....They are usually meant to be FUNNY :-D. So show me what you've got Edit: Typos...

What a funny old bird is the pelican.
His beak can hold more than his belly can. Right there in his beak, He holds food for a week, But I'm darned if I know the Hell he can. There was a young fellow named Dwight Whose speed was much faster than light. He went out one day, In a similar way, And returned on the previous night. There was a young lady from Melbourne Who had a remarkable kidney. When they said "Your adress Makes this limerick a mess" She replied "But I once lived in Sydney!" There is a young man from Peru Whose limericks end at line two. There was young man from Geebung |

Digo, please give that some work.
I don't mean to sound like a jerk But as limericks go, I'll have to say "no", 'cause it didn't include the word "ferk". EDIT: That was in response to the first one, not the second. Y'know, 'cause we then get all sorts of problems. Oh, and please, give 'em some thought. Otherwise we end up with a back-and-forth that really isn't all that funny, and just gets annoying. Who else was in arin12's game with me? Last edited by ticattack; Mar 4th, 2006 at 10:37 PM. |

I don't have a Limerick to add to the thread, but this reminds me of a time I wrote a Tanka for a science project... I'll post it if I can find/remember it. It was weird.

Digo, I don't want to wage war.
You see, I have done so before. It gets out of hand, And just becomes bland, And then it's no fun anymore. Of course, if you want me to fight I'll do it, but be warned, I bite. My words tend to sting And I hold back nothing So don't expect my humour to be light. So, Mister Digo, what say ye? Are you up for a bout, or ain't ye? If so, choose your blade, The stage has been laid, Or else you can run away from me. |

Thus, Digorig, the challenge is made,
And I ask, art thou afraid? For ticattack, who's bark, Makes your chances look stark, That his bite in comparison will fade.

So the gauntlet has been thrown
alas, the tic is alone no one to aid his rhymes do fade perhaps I'll throw him a bone from this war I shall not hide hey tic, come along for the ride it will be fun though you are done I shall not even spare your pride The weapon I choose is the word it is mightier than the sword when all has been said tic will lie dead and on his big head is a turd So run now, tic, if you can lest I best you as I am the man you look like a duck your rymes they do suck you have lost, even over a LAN
