Limericks: Rhyme a Line at a Time

[scottsma]

where she glanced in the mirror by chance

 

[Jessi]

She checked out her bod

 

[scottsma]

and cried"Oh,my God"

 

[Jessi]

Where did I get these plaid pants?!

 

[Trysha]

My lipstick has failed to enhance

 

[Trysha]

There once was a fellow named Charlie

 

[Jessi]

Who rode into town on his Harley

 

[CLynn]

Passerbys stopped to stare

 

[scottsma]

at his flowing blond hair

 

[Trysha]

As he sailed through the air

 

[Jessi]

But when he smiled, his teeth were quite gnarly.

 

[Grumbletum]

A forum member called Bob

 

[CLynn]

Who tended to be a bit of a slob

 

[Grumbletum]

Was told by his friends

 

[Robert747]

as his waistline extends

 

[Grumbletum]

That he's turning into a blob

 

[skippy111]

Who eats too much corn on the cob.

 

[Jessi]

One day while traveling abroad

 

[CLynn]

I met a fellow who was sort of a clod

 

[Jessi]

His shoes were too big

 

[CLynn]

And he wore a rather bad wig

 

[Jessi]

So I telephoned the fashion squad.

 

[scottsma]

one morning while taking a shower

 

[Trysha]

There was a perfume of a flower

 

[CLynn]

But then just as fast the smell was wretched

 

[scottsma]

and a peg for her nose she did fetched (well,you try to follow wretched)

 

[CLynn]

and a peg for her nose she did fetched (well,you try to follow wretched)

LOL! Sorry, Carol! Hugs again!

 

[Robert747]

and ran to the top of the tower

 

[Robert747]

There was a classy young winner called Rob

 

[CLynn]

But the man was such sob!

 

[skippy111]

But he always did his Job

 

[Grumbletum]

When he met the girl of his dreams

 

[skippy111]

Just a sitting there eating strawberry ice cream.

 

[Robert747]

I think we are starting again................

There was once a caged parrot named Fred

 

[CLynn]

Fred's parrot mother was dead

 

[scottsma]

whose squaks got" next door" out of bed

 

[skippy111]

I think we are starting again................

There was once a caged parrot named Fred

not a fan of strawberry Ice cream?

lol

So the neighbor headed over to his shed.

 

[scottsma]

he took out a spade

 

[Robert747]

and the noise it did fade

 

[scottsma]

when bashed on the side of the head (apologies to bird lovers,it's in fun)

 

[CLynn]

Wow, we sound morbid today, lmao!

 

[Robert747]

There was an old lady from Brazil

 

[skippy111]

who's voice would give one a chill

 

[sawdust]

Her rants echoed about,

 

[CLynn]

Like nails on a chalkboard thru out

 

[scottsma]

so I took to my bed with a pill

 

[CLynn]

But my sleep was elusive

 

[skippy111]

as the neighborly rants became more intrusive

 

[Robert747]

deciding to take firm action

 

[Grumbletum]

At this noise pollution infraction

 

[skippy111]

and so I headed for the kitchen

 

[scottsma]

and so I headed for my gun rack

sorry can't follow that,and I'll leave you peeps to sort yourselves out,the 5 line limericks are running into each other,you divvies :mad2::mad2:

 

[Robert747]

Yep - C'mon everyone


A limerick is a rhyming poem following the AABBA style. I thought it might be fun to see what we can come up with, providing one line per reply. Perhaps the best part of this will be that we get to start a new one every four or five posts. Here's and example of a famous skunk limerick:

There was a young man from the city,
Who saw what he thought was a kitty,
Saying "Nice Little Cat,"
he gave it a pat.
They buried his clothes out of pity.

 

[scottsma]

There once was a redhead called Flo

 

[Robert747]

A javelin she did like to throw

 

[scottsma]

she threw it so far

 

[CLynn]

that it hit a car

 

[Robert747]

so she decided it was time to lay low

 

[CLynn]

Flo had a friend named Pete

 

[scottsma]

whose eyebrows were so hard to beat

 

[CLynn]

They were very thick

 

[scottsma]

and the corners did flick

 

[Robert747]

certainly not very neat

 

[CLynn]

But Pete had many good points

 

[Robert747]

including rubbery joints

 

[CLynn]

LOL! I almost spit out my coffee on that one....

 

[CLynn]

His limbs could bend wierdly

 

[scottsma]

His limbs could bend wierdly

No way can you rhyme with bl**dy wierdly.:stinks:

 

[CLynn]

Oh surely Robert will come up with some strange word to rhyme it, lmao!

 

[scottsma]

Oh surely Robert will come up with some strange word to rhyme it, lmao!

Yes,I'm sure he'll give us any old guff and try to convince us it rhymes.It'll be interesting.:ylol2:

 

[CLynn]

Yes,I'm sure he'll give us any old guff and try to convince us it rhymes.It'll be interesting.:ylol2:

And try to convince us that it's really a word when in reality it probably will only be a "robertism"....especially if he's been throwing the bottle back, lol!

 

[Robert747]

so his girlfriend said delightedly

 

[Grumbletum]

His limbs could bend wierdly

And he had a girlfriend called Deirdre

 

[CLynn]

so his girlfriend said delightedly

roflmao!!!!

 

[CLynn]

And fyi....wierdly and delightedly do NOT rhyme.

 

[Robert747]

But Helen got Deirdre - so stop complaining and put in the last line!

 

[CLynn]

Oh, you really expect ME to put that in? YOU do it....lol!

 

[Robert747]

but poor Pete would always disappoint


Shall we just move on to the next one?

 

[CLynn]

LOL! And I'd just thought of one....but yes, let's move on.

 

[Robert747]

There was a brown bear near the picnic

 

[scottsma]

and honey he liked to lick lick

 

[CLynn]

He licked until he made his tongue sore

 

[scottsma]

and he ate so much he could eat no more

 

[Robert747]

and produced a fountain of bear sick

 

[scottsma]

When walking one day by the sea

 

[Robert747]

just my best girl and me

 

[scottsma]

a seagull came calling

 

[CLynn]

and from the air was falling

 

[scottsma]

when we had fish and chips for our tea

 

[Robert747]

While towing the caravan down the country lane

 

[scottsma]

she gave a big sigh,because of the rain

 

[Grumbletum]

She said 'i'm worried it might flood'

 

[scottsma]

he,said shut up and put up your hood

 

[Trysha]

And the raindrops kept pattering and dancing

 

[Trysha]

There once was a fellow named Su

 

[Grumbletum]

It's a song by Johnny Cash, so it's true

 

[scottsma]

He was sent to San Quentin

 

[CLynn]

and became involved in biomedicine

 

[scottsma]

and discovered a new shade of blue

 

[Jessi]

One eve while reading the Koran
