Want to play a limerick game?

Asked by Ladymia69 (6884points) April 13th, 2011

Numerous jellies seem to be starting games based on poetry, so let’s try a new one: a limerick game!

For those not familiar with limericks, here is a great example of one:

The limerick* packs laughs anatomical
In space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I’ve seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

(So the rhyme scheme is AABBA, and the rhythm will be similar to the poem above.)

It will go like this:

First jelly will write the first line, second jelly will write the second line, and so on, until the fifth line, where the stanza will be completed, and then the sixth person will start a new limerick.
The lines can be of whatever nature you desire, and the second limerick can be related or not related to the first.

Shall I start?

Ladymia69's avatar

And one site after another is unfurled!

yankeetooter's avatar

There once was a poster on Fluther
Who left no room for responses by others…
She wrote every line
And although they were fine…
She left no chance for another.

Just kidding @ladymia69

Blueroses's avatar

Though we wish that our rhymes were much neater
It can challenge to find the right meter
We can give it our best
If we do fail the test
WTF! Have one more margarita(er)

yankeetooter's avatar

Now everyone writes their own rhymes
I guess it’s a sign of the times…
If we’re going to be drinking,
Then there goes our thinking
And our poetry won’t be worth dimes…

Blueroses's avatar

drinking???? you got my attention. Pour me another one, just like the other one…

yankeetooter's avatar

@Blueroses likes her drinks as a twin
Be they vodka, or be they gin
She wants to inbibe,
And needs only to bribe…
The Fluther bartender to win…

Coloma's avatar

The phone I just hung up
with a ‘friend’ that is really a pup
Please God I beg, could you just get this dog
to own their shit and finally grow up!

yankeetooter's avatar

And @Coloma deals with a jerk
Who she’d like to go at with her dirk
She calls him a mutt
Who’s a bit of a nut
and wishes he would beam up like Kirk…

yankeetooter's avatar

not my best effort…

Coloma's avatar

Tis sad, that you mention ‘Kirk’
a friend that just died on March 9.
He was brilliant in all of his work
and I miss him so much, he was fine.

yankeetooter's avatar

I’m sorry for your loss, @Coloma .

Blueroses's avatar

Celebration in rhyme can be fun
For replacement of lost, there is none
For Coloma, our dear
We hope that you hear
We empathize with you now, hon.

Coloma's avatar

Awww, you guys are so nice
We could all marry, and I will throw rice
yes, I’m presently challenged, but holding my own,
while coping with alien life. ;-)

Blueroses's avatar

Can a bride being married throw rice?
Can a bride marry once and then twice?
If you all, I could wed
I would take you to bed
Guarantee the outcome would be nice!

Coloma's avatar

A Menage a trois with fluther
we’re all sisters and brothers
plenty of room at my inn
just knock once before coming in

The weather is fading from brisk
I’ll serve up some brownies and be very clowny
use the hot tub is at your own risk

Blueroses's avatar

oooh, Manage a jelly!
My sex ed class didn’t cover that one

yankeetooter's avatar

Here’s one I wrote for the guy I love…

There was once an incredible man,
Who holds my heart in his hands
He has a kind way,
And his smile makes my day
And I’d love to know him better if I can…

He has such an hilarious wit,
And our laughter together dost fit
Though it’ll be a long two weeks,
I can hear his voice to me speak
For a spark in my soul he has lit…

Blueroses's avatar

aww, @yankeetooter that almost makes a hardened heart believe in love. ♥

yankeetooter's avatar

Almost? Lol! What’s a girl gotta do?

Coloma's avatar

Cats cats everywhere
there’s only two but seems like five
thundering through the house at night
leaping lizards on my chair

Evil cats that torment my sleep
and bring headless rodents to my dreams

yankeetooter's avatar

To be with him a little bit bolder,
To lay my head upon his shoulder.
To be there for him when he hurts,
And be the target of his flirts…
When he’s sad to help him smile
And to linger for a while.
To be his one and only ever
And never have our hearts be severed.
To bear his burdens when it’s needed,
And give advice that would be heeded
To forever speed down life’s road
Side by side, easing his load…

Blueroses's avatar

Damn, girl! I think you’re in love. yep, that’s my diagnosis. And I liked how you said it too.

For those of us girls, staying single
We have all our friends saying “mingle!”
The boys, they are many
Don’t care much for any
Magic Wand still gives me my tingle

yankeetooter's avatar

Lol! @Blueroses!

Glad you liked the poem…I sure am in love!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

There once was a ho from Nantucket
Had too many boyfriends and said f**k it!
She finally picked one
And stuck to her guns
But he’s so boring she’s about to just chuck it.

Sorry… that was the best I could come up with in a couple seconds. Give me a bit and I’ll do better.

yankeetooter's avatar

There once was a frustrated teacher…
Who got so fed up they tried to impeach her…
She tried to work for the paper,
But everytime there was a caper…
They never would give her the feature…
