Write a Limerick

[old_tv_nut]

I once had a rig, quadraphonic
From low bass to near supersonic.
With four times the power,
it made neighbors glower -
They thought that the sound was demonic.

 

[Splatter Pak]

Just a friendly reminder of the rules for constructing a limerick.

'A kind of humorous verse of five lines, in which the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines, which are shorter, form a rhymed couplet."

As Teach says, "Carry on."

OK, let's see if Splat can push these rules to the breaking point, or at least to the point of their being filled in.
If yawl like it, we can get down, party down, break out the booze, dance, sing, and generally be...chillin.
small intestine
large in test tine
rectum, no, shut up, that's WRECKED 'EM. Wrecked them?! Damn near killed 'em!!

Splatter Pak has been not quite a cheater;
Kept the rhyme scheme, but slaughtered the meter
Then this part got dense
And didn't make sense
Like verse thrown into an eggbeater!

 

[harman/kardon]

"Grin on your face, more than a trace,
I definitely don't know what you know.
So give me a clue,
All I ask is it true,
Then your knowledge, bountifully, you can sow."

[Hyperion]

People wonder why I'm called hyper.
I've been like it since I was in diaper.
Fixing things fast.
Like amps of the past.
Finding those faults like a sniper.

(my own of course )

 

[Rome]

Sow a seed of love & sharing
Reaping heaps of blessings for your caring
Being a beacon of light for all to see
Just a reminder for people like you & me
It's easily done without being overbearing.

In the days when I was a young boy,
I'd buy records instead of a toy.
My friends called me nuts.
Some called me a putz,
but those albums brought me lots of joy.

 

[harman/kardon]

"Again not heaven sent, if don't pay the rent,
Though often can raise a smile,
Though your eyes must be free,
To enable you to see,
The funny side, instead of the futile."

It is the very first time in the history of Audiokarma, that a member is participating in a thread although he is not amongst us anymore. I am pretty sure that Pete would like it if he could see what I'm doing here...

 

[mulester7]

I love the sitcom called Cheers,
where Sam serves the public many beers,
his woman is Dianne,
I'm her biggest fan,
and I've watched the show faithfully for years.

 

[harman/kardon]

"Event heaven sent, not remotely like Lent,
Though to those who partook it was great,
Took place in the right time.
The food was sublime,
And in two months I'll have paid of my bar slate."

Splatter Pak has been not quite a cheater;
Kept the rhyme scheme, but slaughtered the meter
Then this part got dense
And didn't make sense
Like verse thrown into an eggbeater!

OK, sorry, I'll try again:

Iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, rhyme-a.
Iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, rhyme-a.
iamb, rhyme-b
iamb, rhyme-b
Iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, rhyme-a.

Now [] for a real one :

There was an old man from Belbroughton,
By God did he have a short 'un;
But, to make up for his loss,
He had balls like a hoss;
And a stroke like a '650 Norton'

Cheers, og

 

[Hyperion]

There was a young lady from Devizes
Who had 'somethings' of different sizes.
One was so small.
It was no use at all.
And the other so large it won prizes.

Ha !

 

[SuperLead100]

The sink is full of dishes
And I am full of wishes
Up they will come
To clean them some
A school of golden fishes

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

Asleep in the back of my tractor
Thought I heard the voice of an actor
Peaked out my head
Much to my dead
Saw the whole cast of fear factor

 

[camerakid]

There once was teacher named Stuckey
He was very lucky
His kids brought him Jelly Beans
But he was very mean
So went into the hall
And ate them all

 

[camerakid]

There once was a white van
That was driven by a man
That said there was no speakers,
Only sneakers

 

[dcmfan]

The first mate, O'Higgins
He said he had a big 'un
Wrapped it fast
Around the mast
And used the rest for rigging!

 

[mulester7]

When I was a young lad in school,
I strove not to look like a fool,
I studied each night,
my social life was a fright,
but that's what it takes as a rule.
