Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[Larry]

You’re the one she could find but be glad
it might have been much worse, even bad.
Two o’clock, it was late
still you both had no date
and blind drunk, you’re the best to be had.

[Merlin]

Blind drunk you may not be your best
as many a man will attest.
You wind up getting married
or possibly berried
and life can get really up-messed!

[JustDaniel]

I like berries before they ferment
and there's no use to overpresent
them with whipped cream and such
but it is not too much
to add some betimes; I'm content.

[Larry]

Add some bedtimes and I am content
for by four p.m. I have done spent
all the energy gained
when the moon and stars reigned.
Rested but don't know where the rest went.

[JustDaniel]

I was rescued, but where the rest went
I'm not sure, 'cause asleep in the tent
I was suddenly woke
when the huge tent pole broke
and I slogged out through new, wet cement!

[Larry]

I slogged through wet cement but I knew
something had gone awry. I construe
that the construction chaps
who were reading plat maps
had no concrete idea what to do.

[Merlin]

No idea what to do with concrete?
You put it on some fella’s feet,
then you take a short trip
in a boat where you flip
the dude overboard – ain’t that neat?

[Larry]

That ain't neat! Overboarding a dude
in shoes made of concrete is quite rude.
If you wish his demise
shoot him between the eyes;
give the fish a head start with their food.

[Merlin]

Go ahead; give Ms Fish a new face.
She can powder her nose anyplace
before taking a swim,
bright and shiny, all trim,
supposing there’ll be an arms race.

[Larry]

An arms race by Ms. Fish is absurd
unless strange evolution occurred
where squid or octopi
bred with fish; then, Oh My!
Sharks might stroll arm in arm in a herd.

[Merlin]

I herd sharks go strolling for might –
arm in arm, one formidable sight.
On a dolphin encounter
each one tried to mounter,
what ensued was one helluva fight!

[Larry]

Why was Sue in one helluva fight
with a guy she had met just last night?
He had seemed sweet and tame
but a wolf he became
so she loosened his teeth just for spite.

[Cleo_Serapis]

Funny guys!!!!!

Enjoying your banter - you make it seem so easy!

[Merlin]

When Spite got his new loosened teeth
he thought they’d be nice to bequeath
to his nephew, a dentist,
quite newly apprenticed,
once he died and interned underneath.

[Larry]

Underneath an intern's hands he dyed
indigo. Iodine was applied
covering both his palms
so without any qualms
he would touch the sick with germi-cide.

[Merlin]

He would touch a germ with the stick,
in order to make the thing kick.
If it hid like a turtle
it wasn’t too fertile
so he’d give it a smack with a brick.

[Merlin]

A smack with a brick to the head
will render the little germ dead.
If you tickled its feet
it would likely see Crete
or maybe Mykonos instead.

[Thoth]

Strep coccus was simply too quick
so alas for the cretin that brick
was the last thing to fly
through his inner minds eye
and the germ learned a new party trick.

[JustDaniel]

Give a German a new party trick
and he'll be mass producing it quick
'til it's so much in use
that there is no excuse
for your not understanding the schtick.

[Thoth]

It's that Kraut with his Schick that I fear
In October when drinking good beer,
you must down it fast
(it's a German repast)
that keeps all the boys in good cheer.
