Write a Limerick

[old_tv_nut]

Hey now, just where is the next poet?
This thread needs more lim'ricks to grow it.
Myself I can't keep it
On top of the heap, it
Takes more than just one and you know it!

 

[Wolverine]

There once was an audiophile named Phil
Who collected vintage gear at will
His fiance decried - It's me or Hi-Fi!
What choices ..... my my
So Phil remains single and now you know why!

Christmas celebration is almost here
Buying the wrong gifts is my biggest fear.
Will my family be ecstatic
Or will they end up in the attic?
Maybe gift cards is the way I should steer.

 

[Jody Thornton]

On Christmas Day, my gal and I sat,
While in between was our lovely cat.
I won't forget to mention,
She wanted our attention.

But I'm the bigger brat!!!

 

[roger2]

I can't write worth ****
Nor differentiate a knee from a tit
I know I should
I wish I could
But I'll just have to live with it

 

[old_tv_nut]

After Christmas the refrigerator
Is full of things I can eat later
But I won't overdo it
Or I'll certainly rue it
As my waistline gets greater and greater.

 

[old_tv_nut]

I wrote this verse in limerick style
Not so much to force a smile
But just to have a little fun
And get this thread back on page one
If only for a little while.

There once was a guy I befriended
and the friendship soon was upended.
He had borrowed an LP
and when it came back to me
Somehow he had managed to bend it.

 

[old_tv_nut]

bobsvinyl once went apoplectic
But it was to be expected.
When someone very carelessly
Puts a scratch in my LP
I'll holler out "Why you, you wrecked it!"

 

[roger2]

Limericks make no sense to me
I may as well go climb a tree
I can't get the rhythm
Don't know what is in 'em
Just words, as far as I can see

 

[Jody Thornton]

Your limerick sounds good to me,
You have the rhythm to a tee.
You'll see it through,
My friend Roger2.
Just give it time - you'll see

 

[roger2]

Thank you Jody, you're the best
Although I wonder, do you jest?
My writing is weak
The outlook is bleak
I can no way compete with the rest

 

[old_tv_nut]

Right now I would just like to chime in.
Your limericks have the right timin'.
One thing we ain't
Is got a complaint
'Bout any of that or your rhymin'.

 

[Jody Thornton]

OK Roger with a 2,
I'll be very honest with you.
I was really just joking,
despite the ego stroking
Just to add something new

(OK, OK - yes I really did like your limerick)

 

[Rome]

Winter is here with his grouch,
The time when you sneeze and slouch,
You can't take your women,
Canoeing or swimmin',
But a lot can be done on the couch!

This afternoon I'll be a-rockin'
Queensryche, Def Leppard and Dokken
EQ in a smile,
"10" on the dial
I won't stop 'til the cops come a-knockin'

 

[Jody Thornton]

CougarXR; it grates my nerves,
To use smiles as EQ curves.
You won't hear those yokels,
singing those attenuated vocals,
Give midrange the volume it deserves.

 

[old_tv_nut]

Jody has an EQ fave:
It has a boomy mid-bass wave.
It makes the vocals nice and squeaky
Because the mid range is so peaky,
And sends the tweeters to their grave.

 

[CoogarXR]

No one spells my name correct
Always, two O's they neglect
When quoting my posts
Giving much-needed roasts
Disable your auto-correct

 

[Jody Thornton]

Call off the autocorrect squad
My reading and retention appears flawed
My eyes are a bit blurry,
And I was in such a darned hurry
That "coogar" with two Os seemed odd.
