on limericks
Just write 'em! They'll flow from your pen or your pencil or keyboard, but then
pass 'em on for a laugh or a poke or a gaff,
and you'll do it all over again!

Thanks, Steve... ... and what other kind of pun is there? ... or is that called word-play?PU
A word-play some folks call a pun is humor that's often homespun; those folks who don't use it may too soon confuse it with silliness oft over-done. © MLee Dickens'son 14 Sept 2009 Lightly, Daniel

Lang a man who painted so fine, weird and wonderful strange design. But they all burned away one sunny bright day. No more are old Lang's signs.

A barmaid I knew back in Yale On her breast had the price of an ale, And for guys that were blind It was on her behind – The pricelist, but only in Braille.

I remember that barmaid of Yale who's bossoms promoted her sales I wore my dark glasses attended Braille classes and studied the prices of ale.

Her eyes were a shade of lazuli And both lists were remarkable, truly, But the one without fail Was examined in Braille When it could have been read quite unduly.

Those eyes of most wicked lazuli made young men behave quite unruly, when each round was downed they fumbled around to check why the bill was unduly.
Alas for the brash lads of Yale, the price on her buttock in Braille was that of the venue, a bed and the menu - as well as the ask of an ale.

Hi Daniel,
I see you have been inundated with punsters and limrickers (is that a word?). You are correct in implying that one limerick tends to breed others, as is the case here. Steve, all I can say about yours is Ooooooouch! It looks like Wally and Merlin have something going with the barmaid. If I were as quick of wit as those two, I might join in but, alas, I'm not. They were all moaners and groaners but lots of fun.
Larry

Tis true that my eyesight is failing, And now seldom partake in the ale-ing. But prices are drooping So perhaps I’ll go snooping To see if the Braille is unveiling!

Okay Merlin,
I can't stand it any more. Seems like gravity and age have had an impact on the menu. Here are my two offerings which I hope will amuse.
The barmaid whom you’re talking about Seldom served up a pitcher of stout For that price was obscure And the barmaid demure Since the menu’s enhancement came out
&
One must be keen of eye to observe The menu of the choicest reserve Poured out neat or on ice For exorbitant price Only if you could read ‘round the curve
Sorry Daniel, I just had to get in on the fun.
Larry

Funny! I don't know where Daniel is off to as he hasn't been here for some time. Might I suggest that you all continue with new limerick responses over in the Limerick thread in Karnak Crossing?

Just Daniel is off tending zoo On Facebook where he found a new gnu. He’s got critters galore And he’s looking for more Like an aardvark straight outa Peru.
It looks like he spends all his time On things not involving fixed rhyme. He now keeps the beat With a chimp that’s discreet, And wow! You should hear the bells chime.
The bar is now closed, my good friends, And that’s how this Limerick thread ends. The maid went and sat On the Braille – it’s gone flat! That cheeky wench can’t make amends.

Our dear Lori requested this thread Be continued in Karnak instead Of where Daniel begun A new string in Shogun Thought the one down in Karnak was dead
I too wonder where Daniel has went. Are his limricking days nearly spent? For did Merlin construe Daniel's down at the zoo. If he is, we can follow the scent.
Perhaps our Daniel's down at the bar Faking sightlessness, injured at war So that he might conceal His intentions. We feel He let fingers go walking too far.

Resurrection means raising the dead. Seven years from oh-3 is that thread. It’s not only cold, It’s moldy and old… ‘mong ghosts I do fear to tread.
If Daniel is down in the Amazon, Why can’t the rest of us ramblon? To Dan, here’s a cheer We’ll toast with a beer Then check out the Braille on Ms Avalon.

Daniel, (you said) has gone farming! in gum-boots - with pig muck! (So charming.) His muse - once admired to a sty now retired; a thought that I find most alarming.

Missus Avalon! Is that the name of the tattoed and brailled maid of fame? I'm dyslexic, I cried And felt of the wrong side Where the menu was not. Oh the shame!
I hear Daniel now farms ungulates While his limericking muse sits and waits For his interest to wane So he'll once again deign To share all the fun rhymes he creates.

I was gone to the farm and the zoo; didn't know that this thread went to poo, so I'll just leave a note that I read what y'all wrote and that I had some guffawin' too.
