Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[JustDaniel]

Lo siento, you'll have to ask Lori!
Yes, the forums can be cacciatore.
But catch what you can;
I know you're a man
of great substance, so share from your glory!

[Merlin]

Last 2 days internet has been sporadic, down more than up.

So glory! No hope for a fixin
sept skins, and mine ain't a-itchin.
When things stay the same,
no change in the game.
It stays the same game, no use bitchin.

[JustDaniel]

If bitchin's your thing go ahead;
I'll leave it to my dog instead...
but wait, she's been fixed,
so that option's nixed.
Let's just say, We seem way over-fed.

[Larry]

If you seem over-fed let me say
you need practice in pushing away
from the place where you set
or quite soon you will get
wider than France's Rue de la Paix

[JustDaniel]

French Monopoly's Rue de la Paix
is like Boardwalk and Park Place, they say.
Once 'Napoleon Street'
but his name lost its seat
when 1814's Paix had the sway.

[Merlin]

Our Frances, the things she should rue,
like Bills that are long overdue.
If she Paix them on time
everything will be fine
and the interest won't be an a-crew.

Hang on, I'll get back in the sink. Still on the previous page - hmm.

When 'Napoleon Street' went this sway
You'da thought everything was okay.
But down in Saint Helens
he was toasting with melons
and wine that was laced – thanks, Valet.

[Larry]

If your valet drinks wine that was laced
and your car was the one that he raced
'round the block and then trashed
let him know when you've smashed
him in turn. He was only de-faced.

[Merlin]

Defaced? That he was, his'n turn.
Goes to show that some folks never lurn.
First he laced a fine wine,
took a sip, made a sign
that methinks he might suffer heartburn.

[JustDaniel]

If it's heartburn he suffered, methinks
it ain't simply because o' the drinks
'cause the limb o' the tree
poked his chest, so you see,
it's right there on 'is shirt, kinda pink.

[Merlin]

Kinda pink was the shirt that he wore
when he went and walked out the back door.
On his right was the middle
where he left to go twiddle.
I'm confused; don't see pink anymore.

[JustDaniel]

You are always confused when you drink...
and that's why you do it, I think.
I suspect you prefer
being buzz connoisseur
even when you end up in the clink.

[Larry]

If you end in the clink even when
you don't feel you have had enough gin;
is it real nice and cozy
or Officer Rosie
to finish what you two begin'.

[JustDaniel]

If you finish with Officer Rosy
making gingerbread houses, then mosey
back into the cell
it could be farewell
to the Sheriff with whom she is cozy.

[Merlin]

The Sheriff from Cozy got jealous
when Rosy played house with the fellas.
She serviced them well,
you could tell by the smell
and the undies hung out on the trellis!

[JustDaniel]

If the trellis is where you hang undies
then you certainly don't know the fundies
of keeping it private
when you are alive at
the cell on the weekends and Mondays.

[Larry]

On the weekends, not Mondays, their cell
is quite empty when they are in jail
because visitors come
to say "hi" to their bum
and then leave them in there; just as well!

[Merlin]

Just as well that they leave them in there
till they comb and coif up their hair.
No messy come outing,
no shouting, no pouting!
When visitors come, they be-bare.

[JustDaniel]

Though 'e's bare when 'e's jailed 'cause o' drinkin'
'e will likely begin some rethinkin'
when 'e leaves wear'n' a placard
that says 'e's a blackguard
got drunk and got naked an' stinkin'.

[Merlin]

He got drunk at a naked stag party
where everyone danced and right smarty.
When the music got slimmer,
they turned the lights dimmer
and partners became very hearty.

[Larry]

All his partners came back very hearty
even one everybody called shorty,
seems a beer truck had crashed,
flies got drunk, we’re all smashed
even though we’re just bullfrogs and warty.
