Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[JustDaniel]

Yes, the warty old bullfrogs got drunk
and as usual, they really stunk;
in the pond where they lived
all the stinkweed revived
and it seems they used it for their bunk.

[Merlin]

The pond where old bullfrogs are living
on bunks from the Sally Ann, giving
a round for the house –
yes, the warty old spouse,
and the poliwogs there for caregiving.

[JustDaniel]

Since the polliwogs there were but larval
their care-giving would be a great marvel;
they could not have done
much about parents' fun
or whatever was done before Carvel .

[Larry]

Before Carvel, whatever was done
to ice cream couldn't be as much fun
as a large wooden pail
you sat on; froze your tail
but rewards came when paddles had spun.

[JustDaniel]

Your reward from the paddle: it stung,
and the shovel that you now have slung
o'er your shoulder will dig
a new sty for the pig,
then you'll spade up the garden with dung.

[Merlin]

When paddles had spun up the butter,
you'd hear Gram-mama loud-ily mutter.
Her teeth on the sideboard
would chatter, but backward,
and rear-wards became stutter and sputter.



When you spade up the garden with dung
you'll then notice the mess that you flung.
Try Ferdy and Lisa
imported from Pisa;
things grow if you don't do it wrung.

[JustDaniel]

When you throw up while climbing each rung
of the ladder, some lands in your lung,
and you cough up some blood
then you fall with a thud,
'cause you slipped on the vomit you slung.

[Merlin]

When you slip, you go sliding asslung,
and you grab for the rope that you strung.
But the rope became loose,
and you fall, ya dumb goose,
no yoose trying to do the swing-swung.

[Larry]

If you sing and swing tying a noose
hangin’ bad guys ‘till boots are foot-loose
then your chosen profession
is now in recession
‘cause now, they just give them some juice.

[JustDaniel]

But the juice that they'd use, they can't buy;
they concoct some more stuff from the sky,
and the murderer groans;
and observers' weak bones
want to creak as they watch the creep die.

[Merlin]

They was watching this creep in a creek
cuz he had such a splendid physique.
The concoction he drank
contained Sauvignon Blanc,
wild onions, fenugreek and oblique.

[JustDaniel]

While onions found Greek was too bleak,
they studied Italian to seek
a new zest in their greens
to put zip in your jeans
as you mangiare words, so to speak.

[Merlin]

My words may get mangled, I speak
with an accent that many folks sikh.
It adds vimen vigor,
is good for my figor,
and keeps me a round and uneek.

[JustDaniel]

If you've become round in the neck,
stop your eating of bushels; just peck
at your food for a while.
Let your liver its bile
to increase and digestion to check.

[Merlin]

I've checked my digestion, it works
but it really likes savory perks.
A glass of glühwein
is always real fein,
two or three and they'll wake up my quirks!

[JustDaniel]

I don' think yer quirks need any wakin';
I suspect they's asittin' there achin'
ta jes' blurt out 'n' say
some dang thing that's away
out 'n left field -- P.C. ta be breakin' !

[Merlin]

Tabby's breakin' the race to left field
so we'll see what the outcome will yield.
He might make funny faces
while sliding the bases
and having his backside revealed!

[JustDaniel]

Cabby's havin' his backside revealed
'cause he can't keep his luggage concealed
every time he bends over
suitcase to recover
yet the sight's to some hussies appealed!

[Larry]

If some hussies have sights that appeal
you must know what you’re seeing ain’t real
‘cause they’re lures for a fish
from a cosmetic dish
and a rich plastic surgeon with skill.

[JustDaniel]

When a rich plastic surgeon who's killed
is arrested and booked and then grilled
would he give up the dope
or say constantly, "nope"
to all questions? How'd we a case build?
