Limericks...!!!

[Veho]

Thought of an idea for a new game...

So I'll start off with the first line of a limerick and the next poster will follow on with the second line and so on until the last (5th) line and then someone else will start off a new limerick etc etc.

See how it goes...

There was a young lady whose face ...

[iamnobody]

Somehow looked quite out of place.

[Veho]

So she said to her man

[iamnobody]

Do you think maybe I can..

[Calidore]

He said, "Sure, but what's in a face, Grace?"

[Calidore]

Wait, I finished that one, so maybe I should start the next. How about Shakespeare?

Poor Prince Hamlet, that tormented Dane

[YesNo]

Saw a ghost and thought, "Am I insane?"

[Calidore]

Said the ghost, "Possibly"

[YesNo]

"Should I be or not be?"

[Calidore]

"Or do you just have mead on the brain?"


Hmm, the math doesn't seem to be in my favor right now. Anybody else want to start a new one? I love this kind of thing, so I hope to keep it going.

There once was a dragon named Joe.

[MystyrMystyry]

who when nailpolishing his big toe

[MatthewFarlow]

Discovered a thorn

[Calidore]

and an idea was born

[hazelk]

if left there the thorn would have torn

[Delta40]

There once was a woman from Perth

[Calidore]

Who knew very well her own worth

[hazelk]

so she insisted on the best berth

[Calidore]

Whoops. Anyone want to fill in lines 3 & 4? :-)

[Calidore]

Okay, I will.

She boarded a ship
For an extended trip

[Delta40]

There once was a woman from Perth
who knew very well her own worth
She boarded a ship
for an extended trip
and goodness me, she gave birth!

[Calidore]

Well, that was a trainwreck. Let's clear the tracks and try again.


Beowulf found himself in a spot

[Lokasenna]

Best if we write it out as we keep going:

Beowulf found himself in a spot
When Ma Grendel came back for her tot

[Calidore]

Best if we write it out as we keep going:

Beowulf found himself in a spot
When Ma Grendel came back for her tot

His first thought: Deja vu

[Delta40]

which responded: I know you

[Lokasenna]

Beowulf found himself in a spot,
When Ma Grendel came back for her tot,
His first thought: Deja vu,
which responded: I know you,
I think I must have seen your mug-shot!

Here we go:

The bishop, while saying the mass

[MystyrMystyry]

Observed in the front row a lass

[Delta40]

He uttered 'my, my'

[Calidore]

After mass, I should try

[Veho]

The bishop, while saying the mass
Observed in the front row a lass
He uttered 'my, my'
After mass, I should try
To approach her and make a pass


Someone else can begin another...

[Calidore]

I went to the lake yesterday

[Delta40]

and somehow lost my way

[MatthewFarlow]

As I retraced my steps,

[Pendragon]

And considered what I had left

[MystyrMystyry]

I went to the lake yesterday
And I somehow lost my way
As I retraced my steps
And considered what I had left
I realised where I was was better - so I stayed

[Veho]

A crazy young flapper called Fizz...
Thought herself an absolute whiz

[Calidore]

She sold bubble gum

[iamnobody]

Who believed it would cure rheumatiz.

[Calidore]

Awesome.

*ahem*

When listening to my radio

[Pendragon]

There is always a song,

[Paulclem]

And ordered some pork on the bone

[Calidore]

He brought me a pig

[MatthewFarlow]

With ash from his cig,

[Pensive]

I asked for something more

[Calidore]

A dancing crowd happened my way

[YesNo]

And the crowd was so big

[Calidore]

That the earth shook like it wanted to play


While on vacation in the South

[MatthewFarlow]

So I stopped in a diner,
