Write a Limerick: Join the Thread!

[Moonbear]

Excellent work, Oh young, gelatinous sea-creature! You found a rhyme for "orange"!

You must be from California to think that rhymed!

Thanks Jelfish for setting us straight.
Although all my poems are great.
When it comes to gender,
you catcher or sender?
Cause Artman could sure use a date.

 

[Jelfish]

I'm confused; are you asking my sex?
Please wait while I check out my specs
But speaking of Artman
He is quite the smart man
I'm male but for him, I'd be flex.

 

[tribdog]

excellent. very funny

I'm originally from Boston and it rhymes according to my "accent". Orange's "or" is pronounced like the "or" in core, store, poor, door. The "ange" part is pronounced "inj" like "injustice", which also rhymes with "hinge." If you then add in a bit of a cockney accent, the h in hinge disappears and you get a perfect rhyme!

Name that mathematician:

This man's not an Edmonton skata'
But he married e to i theta
And though he went blind
Still managed to find
Gamma's cousin, the integral beta

And though he went blind
Still managed to find
Gamma's cousin, the integral beta

I don't know who it is, but it's a very fine limerick.

I do pronounce it "or-inge". Don't know where I picked that up, though.

"e to i theta"? "integral beta"? Must be Euler

It's four and I'm still wide awake.
And tomorrow a test I will take.
I'll give up this fight
and write lim'ricks all night
to see now how many I'll make

 

[Jelfish]

Astonishing! look what I found!
In my fridge slowly forming a mound
on the bread was some mold
it was several weeks old
And in back, something's moving around.

I'm sitting here drinking a pepsi
To stay awake, it's the first step, see?
My flourecent light
is flick'ring and bright
Good thing I don't have epilepsy

 

[Jelfish]

This is starting to get kind of dumb
I'm just sitting here twiddling my thumb
I should practice my horn
or search for some porn
I'd fall asleep after I ...

 

[Jelfish]

Ok I think that I'm done
I guess this was mildly fun
I'll open a text
and fall asleep next,
before I can start to see sun.

 

[zoobyshoe]

All very excellent, Jelfish!

Haikus are much easier to write
not rhyming won't cause any fright
lemerics are harder
if we trade i will barter
a syllable 'cause a rhyme has more might

I'm about to head over to math class
I sat here all night on my fat @$$
come mid-day I'll frown
metabolism will be down
so when I eat I will probably pass gas

writing limericks will make me late
so i should not hesitate
to stop with the posting
my morning bread is toasting
reminds me why punctuality's great

You have written so many good limericks
Zooby and Tribdog are mavericks
I'll leave you with this one
this has all been good fun
weaving words in the internet fabrics
