Lymerick

[YesNo]

It was Stoker who told that tall tale.
No, not Melville. He did the white whale.
That's when vampires came out:
"Need a drink? Reaper's Stout?
Or a blood-red, unbrewed, virgin ale?"

[Sancho]

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my
Spookier than most
Not even a ghost

There once was a dragon named Dan
Who was stalking a damsel. She ran
Away from some knight
Who wasn't quite right.
If Dan's lucky, he might be her man.

[Sancho]

Dragon named Dan and the Damsel who ran
Were getting on grand while making their stand
But not-right knight
Did not quite fight
He struck up the band and danced a can-can

[YesNo]

There are guys who just can't get things right.
While they're dancing the can-can at night,
Though sweet damsels might swoon
When they flash them the moon,
It's the dragon enjoying the sight.

[Sancho]

To the Moulin Rouge went the knight and the dragon
The damsel went too, but she sadly was laggin'
It's near Sacré-Cœur
Where Christians they lure
As for Dan-Dragon, his big horny tail surely was waggin'

[YesNo]

Dan's a horny, old dragon. It's true.
He likes girls. He likes guys. He'll like you.
At first meeting, he's charming,
But moods change. It's alarming
How tasty you'll seem to him, too.

[Sancho]

So they watched the show with a pint of grog
Said Dan, they're gorgeous, not a single dog
The French like their sin
They're probably kin
Descended from the dragon is the frog


El Sancho apologizes personally to the French people for this one. I don't know what got into me.

[prendrelemick]

Merde! !Sacre blue! Et mon dieu!
Mon French je avez perdu,
Mon mots du amour,
S'est tres tres poor,
So I'll stay in my local purlieu.

[YesNo]

There once was a French speaking frog
And a dragon who lived in the bog.
A proud dog said his knight
Did their damsel. They might
Forgive her, but not that dumb dog.

[Sancho]

The damsel the dragon and a dog named Bill
Left Paris that night in a red Coup De Ville
With the top down low
Sipping cheap Merlot
By morning at that rate they'd be in Brazil

[Sancho]

^It comes to mind that a less fantastical trip might put everybody in Seville.

[YesNo]

On the road trip, they're cruising along.
All's forgiven. Why not? Play a song!
Oh! What fun they have had:
Damsel good, dragon bad
While the knight senses something's gone wrong.

[Sancho]

So the knight was motivatin' over the hill
When he saw the damsel in a Coup de Viille
"I'm a road runner, baby"
"You can't keep up with me"
As the Caddy passed him by he shouted, "Hey that's my dog Bill!"

Speaking of road-trip tunes...

Well they was outta San Pedro late that night
The moon and the stars was shining bright
They was heading up grapevine hill
Passing cars like they was standing still
This one seems sort of like a limerick but not quite

In the last half of this YouTube video, Bill does an amazing medley of old rocker riffs. (not Bill the dog, but Bill Kirchen, formerly of Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen)

Just stopped by to say hi and goodbye
These limericks, I laugh til I cry
So keep on with this thread
Will I join?...not to fret
My tries would be like lullabies zzzz
