Write a Limerick

[Hyperion]

There was a young lady called Miss Pymm,
Who was exceedingly thin,
As she essayed to drink lemonade,
She slipped through the straw and fell in!

(Not original )

There once was a man they called Bill
whose nose was the size of a hill.
When he came down with a cold
everyone nearby took hold
'cause they knew his sneezes could kill.

 

[Hyperion]

There was an old girl of Genoa,
And I blush when I think that Iowa,
She's gone to her rest,
It's all for the best,
Otherwise I would borrow Samoa.

Now it remains to be seen
If I can keep my resolve to get lean.
It would be dandy,
Except I have candy
Left over from last Halloween.

 

[bobsvinyl]

Winter is filled with cold and snow drifts
and there isn't much new at the thrifts.
So I wander downstairs,
set up speakers in pairs
and listen to some great guitar riffs.

Don't forget about skiing and snowboarding
Winter games can be fun and rewarding
Hot chicks and hot drinks
'round the ice-skating rinks
Take a break from the audio hoarding

Did you realize that the old popular song "Meet Me In St. Louis" was written in limericks?

 

[bobsvinyl]

Don't forget about skiing and snowboarding
Winter games can be fun and rewarding
Hot chicks and hot drinks
'round the ice-skating rinks
Take a break from the audio hoarding

My back is too bad to ski as you said.
Hot chicks would just make my wife whack my head.
So I put on boots and socks
and take my the dog out for walks
then I warm up at home spinning some Dead.

A nice pressing is a thing to behold.
A Robert Ludwig is like striking gold.
You just sit back and listen
And your eyes start to glisten
As the sonic sweetness starts to unfold.

A tone deaf young guy from Montrose
said "For me, its as plain as my nose.
I can't hear worth a damn
but want to show who I am
So my system just has to be Bose."

 

[old_tv_nut]

There are lots of games here, I deem,
With "almost the name" as a theme.
So here is my gimmick:
This is almost a limerick...

 

[luckyed]

I went out last night to the pub,
With friends, had beer and some grub.
Met a new woman there,
We all had some beer,
Next morning I found her naked in my tub.

 

[harman/kardon]

luckyed decided to withdraw
from our community, no more
posts by him - missed by Chris.
So deeply sad this is.
(Was a part of our family core.)

'Cos his ending will never be seen

Cheers, og

If Luckeyed got lucky with luck
We'd likely admire his pluck
But I'm scratching my head
Shouldn't there be a bed?
A bathtub's no place for a schmuck.

 

[CoogarXR]

A challenge you think I should take?
To devour an 80oz steak?
Oh I will continue
Through the gristle and sinew
At the end I might even want cake

 

[old_tv_nut]

An eighty ounce steak you could chew,
And be hungry when you are through?
But with spuds and a veg
I would allege
That's something that you couldn't do.

 

[bobsvinyl]

I used to eat out at a great place
where the steak was as high as your face.
If you ate what they made
then your whole bill was paid
and your photo went in their front case.


(The restaurant was in Utah, I think it was called Teresa's Indian Village. Each table was inside a teepee. If you ate their 68 oz. steak, you got your meal free, a t-shirt and your picture on their wall of fame. I never tried to do it.)

In a grocery store in old Lahore
I saw Shirley; surely, I've seen her before.
Shirley, girl of my ballad,
Surely only eats salad.
Once you've seen her, you've seen herbivore.

[fixed a typo or two]

 

[CoogarXR]

When you mentioned the girl from Lahore,
I though sure you would end with "a whore"
'Cuz it wasn't her diet
That caused such a riot
'Twas the way she could spread a cold sore.
