I've been seen in some people's dreams
but that doesn't meen what it seems.
It doesn't seem fair
that I am a nightmare
and dreaming of me is a scream.

Tribdog wrote a pretty limerick
Moonbear, who was quite the chick
she let out a small tweet
for he was so very sweet
She didn't realize he was the devil's walking stick

Now I really must sleep
so please, not even a peep.
if I don't get rest
I'll be up to my chest
in a pile of s*it that's so deep.

Goodnight all!

I'm walking around in my room and can't stop thinking in limerick meter. I am writing this post simply to get out of that rhythm. You can see that the first words of this post were limerick style even. I'm really leaving, so good night everyone.

While drafting a new reply
A cute guy caught Rommie's eye
And as there she sat
He came into chat
And so a few hours went by!

Really though I got a little distracted by a few friends stopping by (the limerick is based on one of them). Sorry I abandoned you all I wasn't quite planing on it or anything...

Ten thirty to the hour
tribdog needs to shower
he's been up all day
spent the night astray
now he's off to smoke a flower

Smurf knows that he erred in his ways,
He’ll be sending me chocolate for days,
If to a mentor you’re rude,
You’ll be paying in food,
And realize that rhyme never pays.
 
  • #41
Woohoo...what's going on out here ?
I might be gate-crashing, I fear
But I think it's a shame
You're all playing this game
To impress a wreath-swinging reindeer.

Forgiven is Smurf
Evo's done her worst
took her 20 minutes
she's got quite the boots
Next time I won't go head first

Another has joined the fray
I'll have to lead him astray
the girls are sure to drool
cause he's really very cool
good thing i brought a bouquet

It's two in the morning out here
And I'm sitting in my lab with a beer.
My magnet had been tested
So, against it, I rested.
Now my credit card's quite useless, I fear.

It's just toned to eleven
my girlfriend's still obsessen'
she can't let it go
I just want a blow
but she's quite irate about heaven

Smurf, I think it's time you took a breather.
Your rhyme's getting terrible; 'cos neither
'Minutes' nor 'boots'
Has a sound the other suits
And underlining doesn't help it either.

There once was a member named gokul
His limericks were always so cool,
His grammar was fine,
His reasoning divine,
His picture online can make me drool.

It's quite hard to write poems about Evo. :frown:
'Cos the only word she rhymes with is "TiVo'. :eek:
Though I tried to abstain,
You can imagine my pain :cry:
At ending this poem with a 'heave ho'. :redface:
 
  • #49
LOL, Evo...rhyme never pays! :smile:

Okay, I had to come back because I left this thread with limericks in my head and came up with one I know I'll forget if I wait until morning, and since I'm usually terrible at limericks (this may be no exception), I'm not going to waste it.

Tribdog the surveyor
Is quite the purveyor
Of ladies found at PF.
He tirelessly pursues,
Awaiting the news,
Will today be the day she says yes?

It’s late and now Evo must sleep,
Her limericks are no longer deep,
She’s become quite trite,
To all a goodnight,
Upon her departure, don’t weep.

Moonbear, that was great! This stuff is addictive. :redface:

I proclaim myself the winner of the rhyme off :-p

Too addictive. I think I'm going to be dreaming in limericks tonight. Bad enough that last night I was dreaming about posting on PF! I don't remember there being any people in my dream, just the screen. I think I need to start a 12 step program!

You're going to need a lot more than 12 steps to get down from there Moonbear.

Indeed, your rhyme was quite off. :-p :smile:

I'm going to attempt some sleep again. If I lie awake thinking in limericks, I'll be back.

Limericks are just all too easy.
In fact, I insist they're quite cheesy.
What a pleasure to nurse
A meterless verse...
But writing this $#!t makes me queasy.

Now that I'm through with the puking,
I've come back to be crowned the new king
Of staying up all night,
Not caring what I write.
Hope I've written nothing worth rebuking.
 
  • #57
Now it's time that I gave up my throne,
And I say this with a sorrowful tone :
I'm calling it quits
'Cos it really is the pits
To be holding the fort all alone.
 
  • #58
I win. o:)
 
  • #59
Nope, I'm still here.

There once was a man named Franz
He stuck around and sat on his Anzz
Not daring to sleep
for he was afraid of the sheep
he wouldn't admit smurf was greatest for he was afraid of the lambs
