Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[JustDaniel]

It takes courage to tan heavy blubber
on the beach when you're just a landlubber.
Fat hangs over your shorts
as your family cavorts
and it bounces like some kind of rubber!

[Larry]

Beyonce likes someone to rub her
when singing to every nightclubber.
With her Grammy's galore
and the fans, who adore
every move; but she knowles you don't luv 'er

[Merlin]

I don’t Knowles Beyonce, the pop singer.
With her Grammy, she must be a swinger
cuz as Destiny’s Child
she was probably wild
in her outfits that outdistanced Klinger.

[Larry]

Klinger's frocks; though the height of Seoul's style,
always made Hawkeye and BJ smile
but the saddened cast cried
with the news Radar died
Klinger mourned, dressed in black for a while.

[JustDaniel]

Klingons mourn, dress in black for a wile,
but Kirk has suspected their guile
so his crew is prepared
and soon they'll have snared
the bad guys, at least for awhile.

[Larry]

For a while the bad guys on a leash
had been served a nice breakfast of quiche
but Klingons don't like eggs
so Kirk offered them kegs
of cold beer and two pipes of hashish.

[Merlin]

Two pipes of hashish send you floating
and Shakespeare you’re apt to be quoting.
Damn Spot, be ye gone
or I’ll get my baton,
tis a licken that I’ll be promoting.

[JustDaniel]

Cold bier and soft songs on the pipes
while she quietly sobs and then wipes
the tears from her eyes
and finally sighs
as his ungrateful kids air their gripes.

[Alan]

Many ungrateful kids air their gripes
pr'aps gripe water will soothe all their pipes
we consider them barmy
til they join the army
when at last, these fines youths earn their stripes

Alan

[JustDaniel]

When these furry fine youth earn their stripes
human onlookers often yell, Cripes!
If they put up a stink
it will oft find a chink
in the armor of their manly hypes.

[Larry]

Manly hips of their armor have chinks
they're not solid as everyone thinks.
Even with stri-ped fur
I feel you will concur
chinks are crucial the more that one drinks.

[JustDaniel]

Chicks get critical when they drink slop,
especially if it's non-stop.
They get sloppy themselves
and the more that one delves
into why, they increase the barb-swap.

[Alan]

into whey, she increases curds-slop
with no real sense of when she should stop
a real thirsty spider
was tigglin' inside her
when she came to her end, she went plop

Alan

[Merlin]

When she came to her end, that was it.
Did she care or give a big twit?
With what she then wheyed
it took a brigade
to dig a deep hole so she’d fit!

[Larry]

The deep hole which they dug was a trench
but not quite large enough by a pinch
so the casket was stripped
of its handles and tipped
on its side then let down by a winch.

[Alan]

Woe betide, I was let down by wench
I had met, quite by chance, on park bench
she had said Boy, let's go
to a great movie show
and she then let one go, what a stench

Alan

[JustDaniel]

If she lets it all go it's a cinch
that she'll kill the poor, food-seeking finch
who has come close enough
to perch on my cuff --
but she said that she'd just do a pinch.

[Larry]

"I will just do a pinch"! So she said
but the pinch was too much for her head.
Some like snuff but the sneeze
drives you down to your knees.
If you crave nicotine, chaw instead.

[JustDaniel]

In his craze, Nick the teen went to bed
'cause o' voices at work in his head,
but he couldn't find sleep
so he lay in a heap
with loud sobs counting backwards instead.

[Merlin]

If sobs counted backwards is sbos,
and Nick cannot sleep, only toss,
then the best thing to do
is go fetch a cool brew –
not a wink shall be counted as loss.
