Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[JustDaniel]

If your monsters get scared, I'm concerned
that your story-time telling's adjourned;
if your boogies can't scare
anyone anywhere
Monsters Inc's stocks and bonds will be burned.

[Larry]

If you burn Monsters Inc’s bonds and stocks
then your head must be filled with some rocks
which have rattled your brain
but the facts still remain
you’re the owner of record for docs.

[JustDaniel]

I'm the owner-of-record for little;
ask details, and I'll be I'll be non-committal
'cause it isn't your biz
what I own; take a wizz
or you'll soon find yourself wiping spittle.

[Larry]

To wipe spit from yourself surely sends
you a message, it always depends
on direction and speed
if you hope to succeed;
don’t expectorate into the winds.

[JustDaniel]

His expected rate left with the wind;
with a failed loan he's truly chagrined
about buying a house
for his cat and the mouse
it has loved since it gave up and grinned.

[Larry]

Giving up with a grin on its face
while competing in cat and mouse race?
You might check if that grin
is a rictus and then
bury it in the back yard someplace.

[JustDaniel]

No, our back yard is not a good place
for a Ricketts kin burial space;
if a fixed grin means death
I may take my last breath
watching Eagles, who've played with no grace.

[Larry]

Watching eagles with grace who have played
in the skies overhead; talons flayed
a big salmon they caught.
The eaglet must be taught
how to fend for itself, unafraid.

[JustDaniel]

If you're playing your Fender afraid
then your mother is likely dismayed;
she had paid for your lessons
but you ditched the sessions
and now you are getting your grade.

[Larry]

Now you’re wondering, are getting grades
worth the time and the effort in trades
you spend doing the teacher
without any preacher
and no fear of the bridal parades.

[JustDaniel]

Are you fearing the bridle parades
where you walk down the street wearing shades
while you shovel the poop
with your fine super scoop?
Hey, you carry the job off in spades!

[Larry]

If your job is in spades carry hay
to those places where animals play
like the nice doggy park
so that when it gets dark
you won’t step in some puppy pâté.

[JustDaniel]

If your puppy pâté's out of step
you should think about changing your prep
or he never will be
what you've wanted to see:
a great house dog that you have named Shep

[Larry]

A great housedog named Shep didn’t herd
or would not come to point at a bird
but show him a new leg
and you might have to beg
him to sit; for their loins he will gird.

[JustDaniel]

If you're girding your loins for a mutt
don't you think you are chicken somewhat
for not telling your host
that their house pet has grossed
out their visitors, no ifs or butts.

[Larry]

If your visitor’s butts are all out
I believe that there’s little to doubt
that a proctologist
has been washing his fist
and his fingers to make them all pout.

[Larry]

Wagging fingers will make them all pout
when you’re texting truisms about
the emoticons’ use
and their language abuse;
the Egyptians once figured that out.

[JustDaniel]

OOPS!!!

[JustDaniel]

The Egyptians once figured they'd be
still around when the Nile hit the see;
it arrived at the Delta
and when they had felt a
great whoosh they were flying with me.

[Larry]

If you’re flying, the whoosh must be great
with a serious flatulent state
from the food you ingest;
I think it would be best
if you left the beans off of your plate.
