Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[Merlin]

The glühwein we drunk from a mug
made us glow like a Bayberry bug.
No hint of a struggle,
we started to snuggle,
then cantelouped there on the rug.

[JustDaniel]

She shrugged me like I was a dope
on the rug with a bare cantaloupe,
Merlin lyin' right there
on the floor like a bear
who was drunk and tied up with a rope.

[Larry]

Daniel's first one:

If some dope makes her shrug I would like
to take Anne on a long mountain hike
just to get her head straight
or perhaps, procreate
until she cannot ride on her bike.

[Larry]

Merlin's first one:


Your gluhwein from a mug makes you drunk
and you topple into an old trunk
which is not the right size
for your head or your thighs
and your girlfriend goes off in a funk

[Larry]

Merlin's second one:

Can’t elope on a rug there and then
since you never know where it has been
or just who was on top
when you start or you stop
it is best to just cuddle and grin.

[Larry]

And, lastly, Daniels last:

You were tied with a rope ‘cause you’re drunk
and your friend put you on the top bunk.
They had tried on the bottom,
it broke so they got’em
some more friend who could lift you and chunk.

[JustDaniel]

to Larry's first two:

If the bike that she ride's in the trunk
and your girlfriend's gone off in a funk
then the heck with them both;
it is time for some sloth
so drive off to the bar and get drunk.

[JustDaniel]

... and to Larry's response to Merlin's and to mine, at once:

If your friends cannot lift you and chunk
why not cuddle and grin on the bunk
even if you're alone
and the others just groan
and the whole place now smells like a skunk.

[Merlin]

Okay, I'm all confused so will just keep going...


It smells like a skunk? The whole place?
Gosh-golly, if that be the case
that fellow, Fainthearted,
I'll betcha he departed*
and left the whole place a disgrace.

* Substitute another rhyme-word if you wish.


=====================.
came back to edit...

Methinks this might fit with the can'telope.

She offered her honor one day,
he honored her offer, yea, yea!
All day and all night,
a glorious sight –
it was honor and offer – olé!

[Larry]

It was off her and on her - olé
that went throughout the night and the day
as he consummated;
but alas, he's degraded
and tired but she still wants to play.

[Merlin]

If you reckon she still wants to play
I'll be back, but it won't be today.
Got a few things to do,
more stuff to accrue,
I'm heading up-up and a-weigh!

[Larry]

If you’re going up-up as you weigh
then too much food’s gone down-down today
filling out on each side
but what can’t be denied
you’ll soon look like a source for pâté.

[JustDaniel]

If pâté is the source of your look
you are pasty and often mistook
for a can of dog food
or something you brewed
and left it out to over-cook.

[Merlin]

Leave it out and it willy over-cook
in the sunshine, so best take a look
that it doesn't turn black
like a fallen smoke stack,
lest the crows come and gobbledygook!

[Larry]

If you gobble the gook crows will come
just to see if you have left them some
but alas, you have not
‘cause you ate the whole lot
but you didn’t know where it was from.

[JustDaniel]

If you didn't know where it was from
soon the crows will be eating the scum
from the vomit you leave,
and you'd better believe
that the food you eat's what you become.

[Merlin]

I've become what I eat, sure as shiver,
Monsanto was pleased to deliver.
I'm now modified
from aside to decide
and genetically sold up the river.

[Larry]

Up the river genetics are sold
to improve us; at least I am told
that we’re born with some flaws
so by skirting the laws
companies say we’ll never get old.

[Merlin]

To pay or not to pay?


We’ll never get old, so they say,
that we simply fritter away
while the fountain of youth
is elusive in truth,
and in truth, I now need a toupee!

[Larry]

If you need a toupee here’s the truth
you’ve grown old and are now long of tooth
so dead hair in a weave
will not ever deceive,
serve her strong martinis with vermouth.
