Limericks: Rhyme a Line at a Time

[723crossroads]

It sticks out of your clothes

 

[Grumbletum]

And the colour you chose

 

[SandyUte]

Sally, out in public, you don't belong .

 

[CLynn]

There is so much about you that's wrong

 

[SandyUte]

A shipwreck on shore that started at sea

 

[723crossroads]

Stranded us on an island, just you and me

 

[SandyUte]

Water enough, there was just for one

 

[Beach bum]

For one of us the time had come,

 

[CLynn]

Looks like our friendship was not meant to be

 

[scottsma]

Got to say you're getting very clever.Robert will be pleased.Although he'd never admit it

 

[CLynn]

Awww, why thank you, Carol. If he doesn't care to say it, gifts and gratuities are always encouraged. LOL!

 

[Robert747]

Actually I think it is Beach bum who has raised the quality of Limericks recently!

 

[scottsma]

Actually I think it is Beach bum who has raised the quality of Limericks recently!

maybe,but the rest of us know how attracted you are to bums

 

[scottsma]

there was an old man with a goat

 

[CLynn]

Who wondered if goats could float

 

[scottsma]

But the goat took offence

 

[723crossroads]

and jumped over his fence

 

[scottsma]

after chewing a hole in his coat

 

[723crossroads]

A little girl with a kazoo

 

[scottsma]

drove all mad as she blew and blew

 

[723crossroads]

She let out a noise

 

[scottsma]

that scared all the boys

 

[723crossroads]

Because her face had literally turned blue!:biggrin:

 

[Robert747]

The Pirate ship attacked the town

 

[SandyUte]

A man dressed in orange

 

[Robert747]

Now Sandy we know you are doing that for devilment - nothing rhymes with orange as you very well know - and you tell me to behave!

 

[723crossroads]

Now Sandy we know you are doing that for devilment - nothing rhymes with orange as you very well know - and you tell me to behave!

A man came off all dressed in brown

 

[SandyUte]

Now Sandy we know you are doing that for devilment - nothing rhymes with orange as you very well know - and you tell me to behave!

Ah, yes, but if I were placed in a position to rhyme with orange, there are always near rhymes like "porridge." Using near rhymes is taught in poetry 101. However, since you had posted first (unknown by me at the time), and since your limerick has already taken off, you are the winner even though this isn't "Last One Wins."

 

[723crossroads]

He was well known Sir. Robert

 

[SandyUte]

The pirate ship attacked the town,
A man came of all dressed in brown,
He was well known Sir Robert,
Who was dressed in his nightshirt

 

[723crossroads]

and wearing a big bear frown...:confused2:

 

[Robert747]

Sally pulled on her magic socks

 

[SandyUte]

To find them filled with white, clear rocks

 

[Grumbletum]

'Are these diamonds?' she said

 

[Beach bum]

"I could sell them to buy a new bed",

 

[Grumbletum]

Instead of sleeping in this old carboard box.

 

[723crossroads]

This is one from my hubby he says Robert would know?

There once was a man from Nantucket

 

[Robert747]

Now that's just plain rude - but I think I would like your husband

 

[scottsma]

This is one from my hubby he says Robert would know?

There once was a man from Nantucket

who kept his false teeth in a bucket

 

[scottsma]

Now that's just plain rude - but I think I would like your husband

well don't leave it there,at least you could share

 

[723crossroads]

Now that's just plain rude - but I think I would like your husband

Oh yes, he is the onery one and yes, you two would get along great. He loves his dark beers and dry wines.

 

[723crossroads]

He hid them from Rover

 

[scottsma]

who tipped it right over

 

[723crossroads]

and quietly mumbled "Oh Fu-- it!!!"


Sorry~ Just a joke...

 

[723crossroads]

Teresa went in for her shower

 

[scottsma]

she was there for over an hour

 

[723crossroads]

when she finally got out

 

[Beach bum]

She let out a shout,

 

[723crossroads]

Oh I feel just like a fresh picked flower:rosette2:

 

[723crossroads]

I'll never say never again

 

[SandyUte]

Bad Teresa, bad! You are on one today. But I have to admit, Doug has to hold me back a little because he is just so darn fun to embarrass. He is the "proper" one in our family.:ybiggrin::ybiggrin::ybiggrin:

 

[723crossroads]

My husband made me do it~ HONEST!!!

 

[Robert747]

Oh I feel just like a fresh picked flower:rosette2:

Speechless!

 

[Grumbletum]

Speechless!

That'll be the day :lol:

 

[Grumbletum]

I'll never say never again

I'll never say why, what or when

 

[scottsma]

I'll always be sure

 

[Robert747]

to talk like a bore

 

[Grumbletum]

And my voice is much mightier than the pen

 

[scottsma]

An old fella who winked at the lasses

 

[Robert747]

That'll be the day :lol:

........and what's more missy - don't think I didn't notice!

 

[723crossroads]

Speechless!

I didn't mean it that way Robert!!!:tongue:

 

[scottsma]

An old fella who winked at the lasses

went to pottery classes

 

[723crossroads]

To sculpt himself in clay

 

[Grumbletum]

But to his dismay

 

[723crossroads]

He had fogotten his glasses!

 

[SandyUte]

Old cats, young cats and even a dog

 

[723crossroads]

Went chasing a battered up ugly old frog:ylol2:

 

[Grumbletum]

'I'm a prince,' he yelled out loud

 

[723crossroads]

and you can't be my crowd!

 

[SandyUte]

But who caught him was the razorback hog

 

[Grumbletum]

To get up or stay in bed?

 

[scottsma]

sore swollen tum and aching head

 

[Robert747]

but the party will be starting soon

 

[scottsma]

throughout the night and on 'til noon

 

[723crossroads]

I'm there,! was what I said!:lol2::sign0085:

 

[723crossroads]

Tis a nasty way

 

[scottsma]

To start the day

 

[723crossroads]

Without a smile to wear

 

[scottsma]

but if you care,those days are rare

 

[723crossroads]

Like today, though I feel like crap

 

[scottsma]

There once was a girl from The Bronx

 

[Grumbletum]

Whose voice sounded like loud goose honks

 

[Robert747]

She shouted at young, she shouted at old

 

[Beach bum]

Honked at the hairy and even at the bald,

 

[Grumbletum]

But now I haven't seen her for yonks

 

[723crossroads]

There was a young man who ate quail:thumbdown:

 

[scottsma]

and truffles and caviar and snails

 

[723crossroads]

everyday he'd comb the sea

 

[Beach bum]

For the elusive Atlantic pea,

 

[scottsma]

But all he found was mermaids tails

 

[723crossroads]

They say he's a reprobate:shifty:

 

[scottsma]

he chased girls and was always out late

 

[723crossroads]

But chocolate and wine was his weakness

 

[scottsma]

and he was forever "speechless"

 

[Robert747]

when told his lifestyle was most out of date

 

[SandyUte]

A gooney, a looney and clown

 

[Aura]

Liked to walk upside down

 

[723crossroads]

Dont know how they did it~:smile:

 

[Beach bum]

Perhaps a mix of luck, balance and wit,

 

[723crossroads]

Not one of them wore a frown!
