Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[JustDaniel]

If your lass hits home runs while at home
but grounds out while away, it's the loam
that is mixed with the ground;
see if some can be found
that you'll sprinkle and spread with your comb.

[Larry]

If you sprinkle and spread with a comb
then add color by spraying some foam
in the hair you have left
then you won’t feel bereft
and your head will not look like a dome.

[JustDaniel]

If the dome of your head still reflects
on the meaning of life, one suspects
that a hat should be worn
just in case you may mourn
when the answer is lost by FedEx.

[Larry]

If FedEx lost the answers you sent
and you’re out all the money you spent
then your friend’s in a funk,
teacher said he will flunk
‘cause the test that she gave came and went.

[JustDaniel]

If your testes have since come and gone
without e'er being neutered anon
you can focus your mind
to things gentle and kind
line green forests and Bambi the fawn.

[Larry]

The fawn Bambi lived in forests green
where his mother kept trying to wean
him from sucking her dry;
Bambi started to cry
and like pastoral art, made a scene.

[JustDaniel]

Brother Art made a pectoral scene
with bare chest; prudes had called it obscene,
but when he wore a shirt
not a one would desert
and they lapped up dessert and caffeine.

[Larry]

With dessert and caffeine in your lap
‘cause the waiter was one clumsy chap
and decided to trip
while retrieving his tip;
the next time, I ain’t giving him crap.

[JustDaniel]

If you ain't sharin' crap with your waiter
does that mean you've another curator
for the stuff you produce?
Seems it would be profuse;
you could compost it sooner or later.

[Larry]

Sooners compost it for later use
when the Longhorns dumped on them. Abuse
handed out on the field
had the home town crowd stilled
but in football, there's never a truce.

[JustDaniel]

Call a truce for our poetry game;
fell asleep at the screen; it's a shame
that I'd had little sleep
counting do-nothing sheep.
Yes, those old Serta ewes are to blame.

[Larry]

Certain ewes are to blame when the throes
of too many missed naps had arose
from the quips we exchanged.
Are we both too deranged
to realize that nobody else knows?

[JustDaniel]

Of course I know nobody knows
what we write about here in the throes
of MM's basement hall,
but we still whack the ball
back and forth; it is not fair to doze!

[Larry]

If you doze back and forth with a Case
you may level the ground just a trace
but if using a tractor
the deciding factor
is keeping dirt out of your face.

[JustDaniel]

If I'd try keeping face out of dirt
when I mow I suppose that my shirt
would be over my head,
but then seeing ahead
would be tough; with disaster I'd flirt.

[Larry]

If you flirt with disaster it's tough
when you fail and things start to get rough
so you best know the bounds
which you have. It astounds
me that some don't know what is enough.

[JustDaniel]

For me, I don't know; what's a nuff?
I have searched all around; it is tough
to find something so rare
that so few know is there.
Do you think you might share off the cuff?

[Larry]

If by sharing my cough do you think
I'll infect everyone in the pink
of good health? I don't know
why I use my elbow
as a Kleenex. I may need a shrink.

[JustDaniel]

My shrink uses Kleenex to cry,
so I still try to figure why I
even go for my session;
I do have congestion,
but I have my own tissue supply.

[Larry]

If the tissue supply that you own
is not soft then I wouldn't condone
borrowing one or two
for my nose would construe
that I was wiping it with a bone.
