Write a Limerick

[Jody Thornton]

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.

Wasn't this the synth pop sound?
On which some 80s LPs it was found.
Where on Thrusters and Missions,
You can just leave it in the flat position.
And let the mid-bass pound !

And let's not forget the boosted highs
I can just hear the audiophile cries.
The strident and piercing way,
It reproduces 5 to 10 K,
It leaves me with fatiguing sighs

When Jody posts in limericks dual
I truly think it would be cruel
Not to respond doubly "nice"
And Like it one more time (that's twice).
I think that would be right, don't you all?

 

[bobsvinyl]

Just exactly what is an EQ?
Is it something you add to a stew?
Are the two letters close friends?
Hang together on weekends?
I guess I should ask the AK crew.

EQ stands for equalization
More complex than in-vitro fertilization
I'd say it is not really needed
Suggest that it could be deleted
Now I'll wait meekly for mass condemnation

Improper EQ Roger2 blurts,
Is like hiding bad breath with Certs

The AK community is divided,
On how the frequencies should be slided.

Because the wrong choices really .... Hertz

 

[Jody Thornton]

Oh and once again to Roger2, our "flat friend" (get it? No EQ )

No condemnation; just decency,
To your not wanting to manipulate frequency.

After all, us Pro-EQ boys,
Spread a lot of "pink noise"

So let's settle our differences peacefully

Speaker selection, and their placement
To my thinking, is your best bet
But I say each unto his own
This or that way, I shall not moan
So happily ends this brief vignette

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!
Rome

Picture Rome, on his sofa, reclined,
With gals lining-up who 'don't mind';
Which makes him quite glad
Winter fun can be had;
About which he's so pleased to have 'chimed'...

Cheers, og

There once was a teacher named Rome
Who calls good ol' Texas his home.
He likes to visit AK
And spread some wisdom our way
So let us honor him with this poem.

 

[Rome]

Wow! Two limericks sent my way, I am elated.
There was a time when ole "Teach" did have a couple of ladies over, but now its just simply passing the couch by on my way to the kitchen. Thanks for the ribbin' og'!

Oh my bob', yea thanks for the "Teach" reference here on ole AK & you kiddies in the class make my day.


Rome

Limericists have dispensation
To play with syllabification.
Tho "poem" has two,
Sometimes one will do
To deal with a rythmic vexation.

Reviewing this thread's been a blast
Seeing verses from friends who have passed
Their words will stay here
For year upon year
For as long as the forum will last

There once was a young man in big trouble
Because his chin was covered in stubble
He had tried using Nair
To remove all the hair
Didn't want to look like Barney Rubble.

So Barney .... listen; this Is Fred,
Just do what your good friend has said.

Don't use that Nair Jam,
It's for your wife's hairy gams.

Repeat that to Betty - you're dead.

March can come in like a lion
And go out like a lamb, without tryin'.
But when April instead
Brings down snow on your head
It sure is a shock, no denyin'.

Arizona is in its monsoon.
No time to be in a balloon.
Thunderstorm convection
With no control of direction
Would certainly lead one to ruin.

The Limericks page lives once more,
Rising from the ashes of Page Four.
It causes me such distress,
I wish there was more interest
Life without rhymes is a bore

Glad to see the page alive again!

 

[Jody Thornton]

This limericks thread is barely alive,
What do I do to make it survive?

I knew there was trouble,
When I dug through the rubble

It was buried beneath page five.

 

[old_tv_nut]

Thanks go to Jody for rescuing the thread
From a limerick coma (if not from the dead)!
Now, if just something funny
Or terminally punny
Would only pop into my head!

If French Canadiennes manouvre
From Montreal to Vancouvre
Do they find it amusin'
or merely confusin'
That an appetizer is a horse d'oeuvre?
