Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[Larry]

If they find an erection in sight
would the squeal with surprise or take flight;
might they help with your pants
or would they look askance;
pen condolences for your great plight?

[Merlin]

The first follows Daniel; I was 2 minutes after Larry so here it is anyhoo.
Second one picks up the thread and carries on.



If they sight they might find their direction,
it's a matter of close circumspection.
Any onlookers scoffing
go off laughing or coughing
when they examine our mighty projection.

Pen condolences doesn't sound great
since somebody went to the gate
or did they head down,
no harp and no gown,
but it's warm there, and drinks are served straight.

[JustDaniel]

If you're warm whether drinking or straight
are you ready to go conjugate
with the partiers there
or will you have to spare
all your nouns and your verbs for debate?

[Merlin]

While debating your verbs and your nouns
with a bunch of young carnival clowns
we stood congregating
which was very frustrating
cuz the drinks were not making their rounds.

[Larry]

If your drinks don't make things go around
and it doesn't matter what you've downed
get a glass full of ice
which I think will suffice
for two fingers that's royally crowned.

[JustDaniel]

If it's Royal Crown Cola you've fingered
then it's clear why nobody has lingered;
they prefer Coke or Pepsi
and they just aren't hep, see,
with RC; they simply aren't jingered.

[Merlin]

When the simples drink RC that's jingered,
their RCs get totally injured
from that fine, tasty herb
that can really disturb
their output which could become splintered.

[JustDaniel]

If you're splintered by stuff in your outflow
that causes you pain as you bellow
you should stop eating wood
'cause its breaking down could
be a danger for any stout fellow!

[Merlin]

There once was a dangerous stout fellow
who decided to take up the chellow.
He stroked the four strings,
making music for kings,
'cept most of his guests turned all yellow.

[Larry]

All his guests have turned yellow except
for those few who surreptitiously crept
from the room in a hurry
because he used curry
and that’s why his audience wept.

[JustDaniel]

When you speak, and your audience weeps
could it be that you give them the creeps?
When you're talking to kids
sense that's common forbids
that you dress as a farmer who reaps.

[Merlin]

That farmer who reaps in a dress
would be wise if he went to confess
that his name isn't Jenner,
that he's really a tenner
from Nabucco, G. Verdi's success.

[JustDaniel]

He gave Nebuchadnezzar a name
that Italians could sing; it's the same
thing that prompted old Verdi
to not be so wordy
when writin' his opries fer fame.

[Larry]

If you're writing your opry's for fame
there is one grand old place that can claim
that they simply don't care;
they're just wanting to share
country thoughts that have someone to blame.

[Merlin]

Country thoughts blame the drunkards in prison,
those destitute souls in the mizzen;
have tears for the dyen;
gittar twangs are cryen;
all the while they feed crumbs to the pizzons.

[JustDaniel]

If you're feeding just crumbs to the peasants
while you're gorging yourself with fat pheasants
then you're asking for trouble;
they'll soon burst your bubble,
and you could be living unpleasants!

[Merlin]

This is only a test to check the quick edit problems.
I'll put something into quotes and see if the problem persists.

Now I'll go and see if the kwots get garbled.
Here tis: kwoting "Don Coyote" who ventured out tittling windmills.

Kwik edit one.
Kwik edit two. One came back ok.
Kwik edit 3, sofar sogud. I'll leave it and come back in a while.

Kwikee 4, a couple hours later.
Kwikee 5, more hours later.
Kwik 6 & 7 still holding

I've been in communication with Imo to see if the strange happenings keep happening. At this point, all has gone without incident. I'll stop here, and the posting is available for deletion, amin and admin.

[Larry]

If your living’s unpleasant you could
go out into the world, do some good
or just set on your ass
while you let the mood pass
for we know that you’re misunderstood.

[Merlin]

Well you know that I’m not misunderstood
tho sometimes there are times when you should.
You act like a cheesecake
and say you've a headache,
when I know you are using a falsehood!

[JustDaniel]

Did you know that you have a false hood
on your jacket while picking up wood?
You'll get wet in the rain,
and I tell you again...
wear a hat if you know what is good!
