Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[JustDaniel]

He's all tangled up in the blues
while messin' around with the booze
an' flirtin' with girlz;
his brain goes to whorls
an' he wakes up, his neck all a-bruise.

[Larry]

Waking up with a bruise on your neck
means the kiss was much more than a peck.
Used to call that a hickey
when things got a bit sticky
but real passion will show; what the heck.

[JustDaniel]

'twas a heck of a show for her passion,
and Merlin will likely be cashin'
the story for us;
he thinks it's a plus
and thinks that his hickey's in fashion.

[Larry]

Hickeys were the fashion long ago
among adolescents for they show
that the opposite sex
was now having effects
but you worried the reason might grow.

[Merlin]

The reason you worried for showing
a trophy you got while out sowing,
there may be a muffin
in somebody's uffin
and it's time to escape and get going.

[Larry]

If you think you are goin' to escape
when your girlfriend starts losin' her shape
then I feel your main mission
is no extradition
from countries who don't think that's rape

[JustDaniel]

If the guy thinks that thing's just a grape
and his time with the kid wasn't rape
then he doesn't know law
and he'll soon say, "Who, moi?!"
to the verdict, then stand there and gape.

[Merlin]

I stand there agape and confounded
how my lover's becoming well rounded.
It was fun in the haymow,
better still in the boat prow
but now things are getting compounded.

[JustDaniel]

In the hoosegow he may well be pounded
by inmates when his rap has been sounded
and it could be gritty
'cause they'll have no pity
when him in the show'r they've surrounded.

[Larry]

When surrounded in showers in prison
you must make one small rapid decision,
with your soap on a rope
you knock out the first dope
and you may stall the other's vile mission.

[Merlin]

How virile I was in May Mission
and knocked out – well, any position.
No dope was the Abbot
who thought me a rabbit,
and Shurely held strong that suspicion.

[Larry]

The suspicion was held by Ms. Shirley
that although her boyfriend was burley
when she had him undressed
found that she could attest
everything down below wasn't curly

[Merlin]

Not curly, that fuzz down below?
Japanese! Well, wouldn't you know.
There's those who are straight,
(much better than late!)
and then some quite reluctant to show.

[JustDaniel]

If you are reluctant to show
what you've written that's not apropos
then a Limerick's not
where you want to have brought
out your stuff to prove you are gung ho.

[Merlin]

My Limericks got lots of that gung-ho,
and likely a touch “in yo end-ho.”
They'll turn a face red
and a few faces fled
but a few stayed behind and said, “Whoa-ho!”

[JustDaniel]

If y're stayin' and yellin' Yo, ho!
I'm afear'd I am wondrin', What fo?
Can't ya find a nice gal
ta jest be yer pal
an' then ask 'er ta see her chateau?

[Larry]

When you’ve seen her short toes and you ask
if their cleaning is much of a task,
with a smile, she’ll say please,
while you’re down on your knees
wrap your lips around them like a flask.

[JustDaniel]

When you're wrappin' your lips 'round a flask
it's not hard to believe you would ask
if you're drinkin' too much;
you are hardly in touch
since reality's wearing a mask.

[Merlin]

Your reality's wearing a mask and a gown
and is flirtin' around with an amorous clown
but if you'd have a clue
or if you only knew
when this clown makes a pass, it's touchdown!

[JustDaniel]

The clown touches down on his ass;
acrobatics meant he caught the pass
but when he hit the ground
and he heard the great sound
he let go from the smell of the gas.
