How to play: post a limerick. A limerick is a five line poem in the pattern AABBA where the indicated lines rhyme together. And of course NOTHING DIRTY.

An example:

A A B B A
That's the way!
It's not a tome
But a five line poem
I think I could write one a day!

There once was a girl from Dallas
Who went by the name of Alice
She was old and mean
She thought she was Queen
And why not ? She lived in a palace

Take two,they're small.

There once was this boy in school
Who everyone thought was a fool
He spent all of his time
Making words rhyme
And now some think that he's cool.

There once was a cow from Nantucket
Who prodigiously made milk by the bucket
According to reports
She produced many quarts
And her owner was happy to truck it

(Ode to Ozzie Nelson)

For a 50s father named Oz
Wolfing ice cream was a cause
He'd often exhort
"Let's each have a quart!"
And down a huge bowl without pause

Which certainly called for some guts
To go out on a limb
Sink or swim
Hoping this thread will kick butts

A man got bit by a rat
Then blamed it all on his cat
" You useless old blob "
" Killing rats is your job "
Then the cat laid down for his nap

There is a place called Missouri
Where people would leave in a hurry
They don't get very far
Without wallet and car
Cuz thieves leave them with nothing but worry

(Ode To My Three Sons)

My Three Sons is for everyone-
It's a show with lots of fun
Steve's a great dad
Who never got mad
That's why the show had a long run!

There once was a woman named Ruth
Whose mouth contained only a tooth
She spit when she talked
She limped as she walked
And was found to be rather uncouth

Bugs in my cereal,bugs in my bed
Bugs on my sofa,bugs on my head
Tried spraying
Tried praying
They refuse to be dead

(Ode to Samantha of Bewitched)

Sammy is a clever witch
Moving mountains with a twitch
She can clear most any mess
Before it causes great distress
Deftly, and smoothly, without a hitch!

There was a man from the south
Who kept a key in his mouth
When asked,why this is
He said with a lisp;
Tho I don't get locked out of my houth

You were wondering what I was going to rhyme with south and mouth ?
Sometimes you have to cheat.

This one started off as a limerick but I couldn't get off the first rhyme.

I saw a spider on the living room wall
I gave him a swat,I then watched him fall
I lifted my foot as he began to crawl
He was hard to crush,being so small
So I picked up a book and gave it my all
When I lifted the book he ran down the hall
He got in my bed,I never seen such gall
I was going to finish him off,but he began to bawl
So I just wished him goodnight,and goodnight to y'all

OH Nuts! · 05-28-2012, 05:54 PM

Twenty blackbirds and a crow
Eyed sumptuous corn lined in a row
They swooped down to have a feast
Unafraid of a big yellow beast
Sated and happy - up they go!
