Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[Alan]

Two great responses, guys ! Laugh out loud ones !

Liaisons like this are danger-fraught
for the buzz come from chance to be caught
hence the notable thrill
of humping, top of hill
cuz we never do what we damn ought !

Alan

[Larry]

What men ought is not something they choose.
It's genetic! Females make them lose
their good sense. Plain as dirt,
don't think I'd ever flirt
with such trysts. No bar has that much booze.

[Merlin]

A barmaid in old Budapest
had the price of the suds on her vest
so I ordered a pair
which I thought were quite fair
and I tell ya, her jugs are the best!

[Larry]

That Hungarian maid, vest attired,
listed goods and the prices required.
Mere façade, 'twas in fact
a corset; leather backed
which was strained every time she respired.

[Alan]

What was strained every time she respired ?
Her chest, or my member, retired ?
Recalled though, is the thought
of those deeds we cannot
manage, for retired soon means expired !

Alan

[Larry]

I'm re-tired due to reading that vest
of brew prices. We could be more blessed
if the wish which we make
that her laces will break
was realized, but heart beats would arrest.

[Alan]

Stopping heart-beat would surely just start
stopped flow of blood to an essential part
that means rather than life
there'd be trouble and strife
and then taken away in a cart

Alan

[Larry]

When that cart comes to take me away
may that part and my heart both convey
I was glad but aggrieved,
dying eyes had perceived
busted laces frame a fine display!!!

[Alan]

busted speccies frame no fine display
of scant use now for many a day
for what use is a frame
contents missing, or lame
like a donkey with nary a bray !

Alan

[JustDaniel]

Witch was strained, so in time she retired
with the income that she had acquired
making potions and spells.
She looked bad in pastels,
so as junior-high cook, she was fired.


OOPS! I Skipped a page, evidently!!


Like a donkey, the witch was hard-wired,
and her coven then quickly conspired
to get her job back,
and they had a knack...
wounded principal got her rehired.

[Larry]

Wounded principal's principles change
when the brew which the witches arrange
made him stop and admit
he was no fashion crit
for a Junior-high's cook looking strange.

[JustDaniel]

When Junior got high in the crook
of the maple tree, he dropped a book
on the student below
with such a great blow
that he fell to the pavement and shook.

[Alan]

When it fell to the pavement he shook
his fist at that high-flying rook
then he had an idea
for a dish with urea
and became world famous as a cook !

Alan

[Larry]

If a world famous cook you would be
from designing arcane chemistry
then your recipe book
should explain how a rook
might excrete some mammalian pee.

[Alan]

Good question !

ALL THAT POURS DOWN IS NOT RAIN

Well, rooks and magpies are well known -
appropriating things they don't own
so mind your queues and pees
or they'll waft on a breeze
while 'rain'-maker will swiftly have flown

Alan

[Merlin]

The rain-maker pulled on the rein
but his horse wasn’t known its for brain.
The critter was French,
it jumped over a trench
and ended up going in Seine!

[Alan]

TREINING ROUTINE

So he ended up going in Seine
cuz he couldn't get out of the reine
didn't want to get wet
for the sake of a bet
he took bateaux-mouche instead of a trein

Alan

[JustDaniel]

On an open excursion by train
it's not fun if you're caught in the rain
'cause your clothes all get wet
and the jello that set
now will leak on the floor; it's a pain.

[Alan]

If yer gonna be set on jello
yuh betta just watch how yuh go
for if yuh takes a trip
damn jello'll go flip
and be spreadin' all over the flo'

Alan

[Larry]

If you find gelatin on the floor
it might be from your guests who adore
Jello shots, drank in lieu
of a nice ice cold brew.
Cleaning up after them is a chore.
