Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[Alan]

not a wink shall be counted as loss
if 'stead of sleep one can turn and toss
with a someone who cares
to exercise in pairs
and remembered beforehand to floss

Alan

[JustDaniel]

If it's Floss whom you toss in your room
then beware of her iron-stock broom,
'cause she's one o' them snitches
who's found among witches
who spell-cast... then off they will zoom!

[Alan]

they're casting spells, then off they will zoom
to consume all the fruit of the loom
they will eat all the wool
until the're almost full
then devour all the meat in the room

Alan

[JustDaniel]

If they're pulling the wool o'er your eyes
then there's one simple rule I'd advise:
use an old parasol
so you'll keep away all
those distractions that come from the skies.

[Merlin]

Those distractions that come from the skies
might fool a whole lotta guys.
It could be an angle
who’s coming to tangle,
or an angel – depends on the size!

[Larry]

Of "Depends", angels don't wear a size
there's no need when one sails through the skies.
Whizzing by at mach 10
you won't know if they've been
'cause the spot on the robe quickly dries.

[Alan]

re those angels – depends on the size
lead to arguments amongst the wise
he who cast the first sin
knows how many on that pin
birth of statistics, lies and damn lies

Alan

[JustDaniel]

If you know what that last line might mean
or have clues to the ones in between
the first and the third
could you give me a word
that would help me or Idi Amin?

[Merlin]

Ah mean there’s no help fur ole Idi,
he’s gone an’ weez-all singin’ sweedie
an’ wherever he went,
ah hope he pays rent
so de doan kick him out like us needy!

[Alan]

a real good kicking for the needy
is necessary - done speed'ly
for it shall come to pass
they gets offa their ass
and learns how to be properly greedy

Alan

[Larry]

To be properly greedy, one learns
to take more than he needs while he spurns
any thought of real work;
leave that for the poor jerk
who knows not how to fake tax returns.

[Merlin]

Fake tax returns sent to the gum’mit
may cause all your money to plummet,
cuz life in the slammer
lacks much of the glamor
you had while back there on the summit.

[Larry]

On the summit back there you had wile
and lived life in the grandest of style
but those you would deceive
had a trick up their sleeve
now you're stuck behind bars with no file.

[JustDaniel]

If you're stuck tending bar, get a file
to save all the info; with guile
you could blackmail some blokes
whose acts without cloaks
could build up your stock for awhile.

[Merlin]

To build up your stock in a stocking
is really and frightfully shocking!
Take ‘em out of the closet
and make a deposit
down south where flamingos are flocking.

[Larry]

If you build up your stock for a while
then let Wall Street make you a big pile
you must first sell it short
before they ever start
then you'll win either way and just smile.

[Alan]

if you win any way, with big smile
invest your dodgy dosh in brick pile
if that way was not straight
feds will engage indebate
you're stuck, they'll catch up after a while

Alan

[JustDaniel]

If you slip on ketchup in the aisle
just remember that you're not on trial.
Simply wipe off your feet
so you can go tweet
your friends while you rest for awhile.

[Alan]

you're friends, as you rest for awhile
then at poker you trounce with a prile
then he is bleating
that you are cheating
and you pocket the pot with a smile

Alan

[JustDaniel]

When ya pack up yer pot with a smile,
it's much better ta rest fer a while
'cause it really matters
that ye're gettin' fatter;
might lose all yer chance ta have style.
