Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[Larry]

If you wait for a dove with a note
about love then I would say your boat
must be lacking an oar
and your rowing to score
has poor chances, the odds I won’t quote.

[JustDaniel]

If the choices you make are at odds
with commandments revealed that are God's
you may grow leaps and bounds
as your interest compounds
but at length all your gains will be wads.

[Larry]

Wads at length will be all of your gains
and they won’t be interred with remains
for they’re spent on your tomb
where you have lots of room
to decay and they’ll wipe up the stains.

[JustDaniel]

When they wipe off the stains, you'll decay.
Double-thick walls? You'll rot anyway.
So if you've not a home
up above, 'neath the loam
you'll be hotter than I'd like to say!

[Larry]

If you’d like to stay hotter then I
would suggest, catch a plane and go fly
on down to the equator;
the temps are much greater
and cold winter won’t enter the sky.

[JustDaniel]

That cold winter has entered the sky
from the north; if you don't want to dye,
leave your hair as it is.
Let it frost; it's your biz
if it's white as the snow in your eye!

[Larry]

If the snow, in your eyes, isn’t white
then the ice cream you made is a blight.
Look around for a guy
who is zipping his fly
then take aim at his head and bedight.

[JustDaniel]

If his head is bedight with your missile
I am wondering how much his piss 'll
be dripping inside
'til his undies are dried.
Did you warn him at least with a whistle?

[Larry]

With a whistle through air, he was warned
that a missile was near; not alarmed
he refused to be ducking
the ice cream I'm chucking
and replied, that my sharing be darned.

[JustDaniel]

His reply you be darned was quite daring
since you were about to be snaring
this guy who's so flip;
he will no more unzip.
You ripped off everything he was wearing.

[Larry]

If you rip everything that you wear
pretty soon you’ll have nothing to spare
so you’re not being rude
when you walk around nude
in a colony that doesn’t care.

[JustDaniel]

If your colony has none to spare
drop your ants in a chocolate eclaire;
watch how quickly they're busy
and you'll become dizzy
unless you stop looking. Breathe air!

[Larry]

You stop looking and breathe air unless
you love riding a coaster; confess
it was fun in your youth
but you know it’s the truth
ups and downs leave the floor a big mess.

[JustDaniel]

If the floor's a big mess from your vomit
let the grandkids come in, and they'll bomb it
with scraps from their lunch
and some toast for its crunch
and pretend that they've flown to a comet.

[Larry]

If you’ve flown to a comet, pretend
you’re an astronaut while you descend
to a surface of ice
but I know you’ll think twice
and wear pants upon which you’ll “depend”.

[JustDaniel]

If you've come to deep end in your pants
and resort to oft watering plants
then perhaps you should stay
close to home and just play
on the keyboard or some game of chance.

[Larry]

Some may chance that keyboards are a game
and if great, it’s a pathway to fame.
I tried it in my youth
but I’ll tell you the truth;
gave a concert and nobody came.

[JustDaniel]

Yes, if nobody came to your concert
it's not likely that you'd have a large spurt
of what some folks call fame
and remember your name
so that you can earn money with adverts.

[Larry]

Earning money when you advertise
may be lucrative but I’d advise
that you save what you make;
it may be your last break
to impress your sweet wife without lies.

[JustDaniel]

You're impressing your wife with your lies?
I would hope that you soon realize
that to lie one must know
what he's said and must show
that it's true 'neath remembering eyes.
