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.
Melding poetry with current events. You're a genuis!
Can't think of one myself, but came to the realization some time ago that "Victim of Love" by the Eagles is a limerick:
What kind of love have you got
You should be home but you're not
A room full of noise
And dangerous boys
Still makes you thirsty and hot
I heard about you and that man
There's just one thing I don't understand
You say he's a liar
And he put out your fire
How come you still got his gun in your hand
Victim of love, I see your broken heart
I could be wrong but I'm not
Victim of love, it's such an easy part
What kind of love have you got?
Another old one.....
I dined with the dutchess of Lee
who asked do you fart when you pee?
Said I with quick wit,
do you belch when you sh*t?
Hey dutchess, chalk one up for me!
..........trapped...... in a world of genius.......quite a responsibility.
;-)
I know of a FReeper name King...
Whose threads cover most anything.
He attax from the "right"
As he posts thru the night,
And he always types "pong" for a ping.
LOL..thats very good !....we have a poet laureate in FR :)
Pa followed the pair to Pawtucket -
(the man and the girl with the bucket.)
He said to the man,
"You are welcome to Nan,"
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.
Oh, I don't know about that...
Ummm... I would, but I have a really nice non-banned record I'm trying to maintain...
I once entered this in a contest (didn't win, unfortunately):
At first I set out to devise
Some lyrics to win me the prize
But once I had see
That it had to be clean
Half my words I was forced to revise.
A slight exaggeration. I don't have a tattoo.
Yours are good ones. I am strictly amateur and below amateur.
Ahhhh...but those washboard abs! Mmmmm! You always were such a Looker, PH ;)
