The Lymmerick contest

[Vixen Evenstar]

Hehe!  Who can out lymmerick who?! K, if you don't know what a lymmerick is here is an example-

 

When watching "the Lord of the Ring"

Or even "Return of the King"

hold your food tight

or you won't get a bite

the jump seens cause popcorn to fling

 

er...that wasn't so good..oh well...so the idea is the first three people post Lymmericks....the fourth person who posts has to say who he/ she liked best.....and then all over again...the above was my limmerick...now two more people have to go...

There once was a guy named Ben.
His sister owned a hen.
it got caught,
cooked in a pot,
and that was the end!

 

[TheDerek]

I like to drink pop
I get it when I shop
It's pretty darn good
For the money I pay it should
Just don't throw it on a cop

 

[EspressoDuck]

I have to say Vixen's was the most expertly written.
OOHHH, my turn!

A Dog once despised a poor Cat
Who'd fallen right into a vat
With the urge to sup
He cooked Cat right up
And indegestion came after that!

When to sneeze is what one must do,
Please remember to,
Not sneeze on my face,
'Nor all over the place,
A tissue-thank you kindly- would do.

There once was a hobbit so fair,
With blue eyes and brown curly hair,
Like honey and flies,
Girls went nuts for his eyes...
But *sniff* sadly, with me they won't share.

How are those? I made them up on the spot so please don't laugh....

 

[paulewog]

/me laughs.



/me can't remember the exact form of a lymmeric(k), if there is one - how many feet, he remembers that they are five lines and generally funny

 

[Kookaburra]

Came up with these just now . . . don't think they're so good, but I feel like I'm each girl.


There once was a girl from Maroon
Who danced on the silver-grey moon
Her eyes so sad
Her hair gold-clad
She sang an old sea-faring tune

There once was a girl from Old Ire
Who sat by the roaring wood-fire
Deep in thought
Her heart distraught
As she played the Norwegian Lyre

There once was a girl from Tocree
Who stood up on deck out at sea
Her face so fair
The wind in her hair
Who felt what it was to be free

 

[EspressoDuck]

/me glares at paulewog for laughing.

 

[TheDerek]

I'm just gonna make up one or two right now
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I really like to run
It's really fun
It's what I like to do
Even when I have a flue
Even thouhg I weigh a ton
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wish I could Fly
Maybe I should try
Maybe I should jump
Even though I'm plump
Do you have any pie?

 

[The-Doctor]

I have a limmerick!

There once was a man from Pompeii
Who could nto tell night from day,
While working this out,
Some right little lout
CAme and whipped his wallet away!

 

[paulewog]

/me glares back.

 

[ElohaySelichot]

*ElohaySelichot laughs w/ paulewog because he was thinking the same thing but decided not to say anything

 

[Wolseley]

There was once a young couple named Kelly
Who went around belly-to-belly
Because in their haste
They used library paste
Instead of petroleum jelly.

*Wols realizes he made an "oops" ans slinks quietly away*

 

[EspressoDuck]

/me glares at Paulewog so hard her eyeballs pop out, and they roll down the hallway and she has to go and rescue them but she only rescues one by some stringy red stuff because the other one fell through a gutter just like in Minority Report and... never mind.

 

[paulewog]

/me doesn't like gross things like that and hasn't seen that movie

/me tells her to keep her eyes to herself.

 

[EspressoDuck]

/me feelings are hurt.
/me walks away crying.

 

[paulewog]

/me calls out, "You forgot your eyes!"

 

[Kookaburra]

How can she cry if she doesn't have eyes?

* People "ooooooooh" and "aaaaaaaah"

 

[oncewaslost]

oh oh! owl has some lymmericks... errr... limericks!! she just has to find them!

 

[oncewaslost]

Jelly rolls are good to eat
and they are a yummy treat.
They are also very sweet,
but oh so sticky on a seat!

 

[paulewog]

/me says that wasn't five lines

/me isn't sure how you cry without any eyes, ask Celandine
