Lets have some more Limericks !!!!!!!!


*cough*

there once was a Man named VogonP.
who once had to drink some poisoned Tea.
It made him a little crazy,
His world became a bit hazy?
And abstract art became his forte

In a drowsy state I wondered the other day,
And I saw something that made me say, Hey Hey.
His sig my eye did catch?
For he has no match
And I knew it was VPs new baybay

*blush*


from yonder came a man called Izzy
who more often made me dizzy
his ps groove is amongst the best
but dont be fooled by his fiery vest

Fire is his passion, his hobby
but pyrotechnics can be very dodgy
has he got flame or two to spare
not likely, cos hes busy with his pairs!

Pairs are Izzy's favourite fruit
Dont steal his, cos hes a brute
ask nicely and I am sure he'll share,
some of that fire and an occassional pair.

Not bad vp, but technically those are rhyming couplets.

I would love to contribute something, but I'm feeling terribly uninspired at the moment and I've got work to do. Maybe something this evening...

[Edit: OK, this just came to me as I was, um, never mind...

The Doc is a wonderful fellow,
Who's usually really quite mellow,
But mess with our heads,
And he'll alter your meds,
And have you crapping bright yellow.

Eh, that was spur of the moment, and sorry for the subject matter, but for some reason limericks tend to lend themselves to this sort of thing. ]

Limericks must have 9, 9, 5, 5, 9 syllables, I believe. Lines with same number of syllables must rhyme with each other. If you want to get really specific, I believe the stresses must be on syllables 2, 5, and 8 of the 9 syllable lines, and on syllable 2 of the 5 syllable lines. I'm not sure if that's all exactly correct.

Very technical is Slime
We all owe him a Dime
But instead we cut his medicine
And made him sleepy in his headicine
Oh what a crime.

Slimes coding is the best
but his humour is a test
backend he cant be beat
well not til the Doc turns up the heat

Suho is so very technical
that he forgets how to be acceptable
but as a newbie he seems quite fine
perhaps he splash out and buy the wine?

limerick: A short form of comic and usually bawdy verse having five lines of three or two feet and usually rhyming aabba

Technically (*ahem*), the feet should be anapaestic, with three feet in the first, second, and last line, and two feet in the third and fourth lines. This would give us 9-9-6-6-9, with the stresses falling on the third, sixth and ninth syllables in lines 1, 2, and 5, and on the third and sixth in lines 3 and 4. The meter, however, is often far less regular, and I'm not one to crucify someone for less than perfect meter (especially when my meter doesn't fit the bill either!). I have, however, been known to crucify people on occasion for writing rhyming couplets.

(Incidentally, no limerick starting with "There once was a..." fits the traditional meter--so I say screw traditional meter )

To VP with love:

There once was a bloke named VP,
who wrote some unique poetry,
Though he was a great sport,
His limericks stopped short...

There once was a Doc from Nantuckit
who found some slime in a bucket.
as he bent down to say,
Oh slime, good day,
he slipped, and fell in the muck-it...

Came the fellow VP from top
who immediately got out his mop.
He said with a flair
Oh my, a mess, I swear.
Then proceeded to mop up the gop...

VP: Thanks for the link, but I'm well aware of what vogon poetry is... and I hate to burst your bubble, my friend, but you've got a ways to go before you reach that level of hideousness. Your little rhyming couplets barely had me squirming in my seat!

Izzay: glad to see someone appreciates my work *sniff*

Once lived a man named Liotta
He survived off only fritata
Resembling a 'Shaman
The taunts were quite common
Get a facelift he might surely oughta

There once was a man named VP
He lived in a purple tee-pee
His hair was all shaggy
His eyes were so baggy
He always looked awfully creepy

For ages an inmate named Slime
Posted silly rules all the time
Although we all know 'em
Its a bitch to show him
That he breaks his own rules all the time

There once was a doctor named Doyle
Who only prescribed castor oil
He said with shagrin
As he wiped off Slime's chin
"Begone! With your rules I shan't toil!"

From England comes a loonie called Emps
Who scoffs at these non-standard simps
"Your table's agape!"
"It breaks in Netscape!"
"You Dreamweaver cronies are wimps!"
