KRLA 870 in Glendale, CA is giving away Disneyland tickets this week. The callers get 15 seconds to be creative and speak about a current issue. I almost won yesterday with a limerick, but today was the lucky day. The prize was four passes for four trips to Disneyland or California Adventure (which sucks big time).

The murdering Uday and Quasay

Liked torture and women and booze-ay

But they ran out of luck

When they didn't hear "duck!"

They're taking their forever snooze-ay

[RightWhale]

What? No cheese? That's no limerick without cheese.

[Alouette]

Uday and Qusay
Tried to run out of the way
They just died tired.

In Paradise now
Fair virgins greet the martyrs
Then turn up the heat.

[SpinnerWebb]

Post #17... I throw in the towel to that one. And not the one on Qusay's head. Excellent.

[bigghurtt]

Uday and Qusay Hussein
Both more than a little insane
I can't help but think
It really has to stink
To have hundreds of rounds in your brain

Has anyone seen Uday today?
Last I saw him he laid on Qusay
The brothers together
Were a little under the weather
Thanks to some M-16 spray

Saddam's sons hiding in squallor
Were shot all about their collars
I would have gladly done for free
What the informant did for a fee
Of some American thirty million dollars.

[sirshackleton]

And here's one to accomodate the OH-DIE and KOO-SIGH pronunciations:

Odai loved very fast cars
Qusai loved Cuban cigars
But the chances are nil
That either named thrill
Will be available at Satan's bazaar

[snopercod]

I was a KFWB fan myself.

I was a KFWB fan myself.

Yup... had um both on my AM radio. 1962 chevy impala, lowered and trying to stay alive in the San Fernando valley

[snopercod]

Nice work!

[Physicist]

Saddam Hussein's sons were such jerks,
That they thought this escape plan would work:
They thought they could fool,
Every Kurd in Mosul,
And just pass for a couple of Turks!

[blau993]

OK, you want cheese, you got cheese. Just remember, you asked for it:

Uday and Qusay were two sleazes
Who thought they were studly big cheeses
But a righteous gun burst
From the Hundred and First
Did spatter them all to Bejeesus.

[B-Chan]

Those artistic young Brothers Hussein
Whose tastes ran to torture and pain
To their father were dutiful
But Iraq is more beautiful
Now we've painted the walls with their brains.

[RightWhale]

Most excellent!

Of course a real cheese limerick would earn a visit from Admin Mod. :)

[AngryJawa]

Limericks are fine, but I think this occasion calls for haiku.

For clarification, it was not a limerick contest on KRLA. I was just hoping that a limerick instead of a comment would get me the tickets. It worked.

For those who need some help, here is a site with some limerick writing rules -- CLICK.

[Henrietta]

I like yours!

Here's mine:

Qusay and Uday and Dad
Were all certifiably mad
While the sons were eating
A bomb came through the ceiling
Now they're gone, it's a shame
Let's get Dad!

[B-Chan]

A problem: two wolves,
Ravaged flocks. Comes the hunter--
Bang! And it is solved.

[AngryJawa]

That's what I'm talkin' bout!

[kevkrom]

For Saddam's sons Quay and Uday,
Rape, murder and torture were play.
But thanks to our guys,
They're attracting more flies
And soon will be six feet under the clay

[talleyman]

Uday and Qusay,
You grew a garden of pain -
Harvest time is here.
