How About Some Original Limericks ?

To lighten up our week (I've been up to my neck in deadly serious stuff !),I propose a thread devoted to original limericks.

Nothing obscene,mind you,but you have to make them up on the spot.A little "juvenile" humor - such as the following - is okay.

Should there be a prize? Maybe an autographed full-length photo of The Hero of Chappaquiddick in a bathing suit?

(Well,okay: maybe not !)

Without further ado, I present:

GRANNY FRANNIE

Frannie the flatulent granny
Once filled every nook,niche,and cranny
Of her church with such vapors
It made all the papers.
"Where's everyone gone?",cried old Frannie.

There once was a man from Nantucket...

[Billthedrill]

When making the law here, our host,
Got to sentence the perps he loathed most.
"I'll give a hot Zot
"To a troll who is caught
"And DEATH FOR A VANITY POST!"

[Rakkasan1]

the once was man named Newt
the dims thought him quite a galloot.
he'll run in 08 ,the dims love to hate
a man who will give them the boot.

There once was a Freeper from Jersey
Who asked for some limericks. Mercy!
I asked Laz'Mataz,
He gave me a Razz
And said, We here on Free Republic only accept Haiku.

From Jersey writes our friend Gene
He asks please don't be obscene
It's a really tough trick
To create a clean limerick
It's so hard to do that it's MEAN!

[taxcontrol]

There once was a shrew named Hillery
Who saw the President as Pillery
She is a political whore
I'd call her more
But the truth would violate Chivalry

[pissant]

OK. How's this:

There once was a hottie named Dasher

And every freeper-dude wanted to mash her

But she started to fret

And played hard to get

So all we can do now is flash her!

Bill,maybe you'd rather go here:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1396311/posts

[Dashing Dasher]

It was so beautiful - I wept!

[alisasny]

There once was a guy named Gene
He lived in Jersey, sight unseen...


AND HAD WAY TOO MUCH FREE TIME : )~~~

[pissant]

Yes, it is nice. The floweres that accompany it should be on your porch when you get home. ;o)

[Charles Henrickson]

Should there be a prize? Maybe an autographed full-length photo of The Hero of Chappaquiddick in a bathing suit?

A contest to write a fun limerick--
You'd think they'd discover a winner quick.
But the contest's demise
Was the choice of a prize:
The winner would pick up a Swimmer pic!

[martin_fierro]

Some contend that a Cinquain's the thing,
or a Haiku, with its Yan and Ying;
I pondered a Sonnet,
then said, "Fie upon it!"

And instead send this Limerick

[F16Fighter]

If ANYONE has kept any material from the Rachel Corrie poetry thread that was pulled once upon a time, please post....

Talk about classic "original" limericks.

[genefromjersey]

If you only accept that thar "haiku"
Ah thank ah'll go pedal my bike,Lou:
All that silly-bull countin'
'Bout a stream an' a mountain
Puts a strain on mah pore li'l I-Q !

[F16Fighter]

"There once was a hottie named Dasher

And every freeper-dude wanted to mash her..."

Funny, P-Man.

I can't wait for the retaliatory incoming...:-D

[PatrickHenry]

Hiaku, classic form: 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables:

Here's my Hiaku crude,
Written while totally nude,
FreeRepublic cheers.

[VadeRetro]

I abhor anything pornographic,
In such items I never will traffic.
But my bold, restless mind,
Satisfaction will find,
In the old National Geographic.

[VadeRetro]

A ping unto you was intended,
And I hope that I have not offended.
If post number 19
In your queue is not seen,
Then things once again must be amended.
