Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[JustDaniel]

Since she knows where you were by the smell
we presume it was up at the well
where you fell down the hill
after you'd both had swill
in your youth ... Jack and Jill, as they tell.

[Larry]

Jack and Jill, as they tell, in their youth
climbed up hills to do something uncouth;
given fifty cents each.
Jack spent his on a peach.
Jill banked dollars and that is the truth.

[JustDaniel]

Jill banked dollars, and that is the truth;
how she came by them, though, seems uncouth.
Given fifty cents each,
she and Jack hit the beach;
she hung out at the old changing booth.

[Larry]

At the old changing booth she hung out
of her clothes and there wasn’t a doubt
that the choices of sizes
need some compromises;
she’d become what we like to call stout.

[JustDaniel]

She'd become what my Mom called PG,
and that's not a flick rating. You see,
she's what guys call knocked up,
and she's keeping the pup;
now her tummy's there for all to see.

[Larry]

All can see that her tummy is there
but new mothers are wanting to share
that they haven’t gained weight
though their stomach’s oblate;
men will stare at their much larger pair.

[JustDaniel]

Men will stare at his much larger pear
that has made him a new billionaire.
He will propagate trees
that he's grown on his knees...
both the field-work and time spent in prayer.

[Larry]

Prayers and fieldwork are both spent in time
when you’re living around dirt and grime;
both enable the soul
to attain every goal
and when finished, helps you feel sublime.

[JustDaniel]

Do you feel sublime when you're fishing?
Maybe you would consider, then, dishing
out results of your catch;
some folks haven't the scratch
to buy protein that their body's wishing.

[Larry]

Everybody wished that some protein
could be bought from a vending machine
but the ones in the schools
had been serviced by fools
and the bars they were selling turned green.

[JustDaniel]

If you're turning green from the bar
check the mirror to see who you are.
Did you come here from Venus
with modified penis
that clogs when the salad's sub par?.

[Larry]

When the salad's sub-par it will clog
your intestines when you start to jog
so to loosen them up
get a glass or a cup
and fill it with some curdled eggnog.

[JustDaniel]

If the eggnog's left curds in your cup
simply feed it to your little pup
if it doesn't have liquor;
that could make your dog sicker
than him who had offered yours up.

[Larry]

Was it he who had offered “up yours”
after drinking a whole case of Coors
when I asked “should I ante?”
My stockbroker’s dandy
and quoted from Standard and Poor’s.

[JustDaniel]

Since you're quoting your standards for poor,
would you cringe if they moved in next door?
Might you look down your nose
when kids drink from your hose?
If they borrowed, would interest mature?

[Larry]

If mature, would they burrow in trees
to lay eggs and pass on their disease
or are they nature’s way
to lay out a buffet
and let woodpeckers eat what they please.

[JustDaniel]

When a woodcutter eats where he pees
he is likely to spread some disease
to himself or his kin,
and it would be a sin
if his splinters brought you to your knees.

[Larry]

If a splinter brought me to my knees
it most likely came off of my skis
which repaired my back fence;
I don’t mind the expense
because I like my fun with no freeze.

[JustDaniel]

If you freeze what you like cuz it's fun
your fond practice is likely to stun
folks who live in the South
who live there hand-to-mouth,
and spend most of their time in the sun.

[Larry]

Ann spends most of her time in the sun
where she bathes in the rays just for fun
and for safety, no doubt,
wears a plug that pops out
so she’ll know when each side is well done.
