Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[Larry]

When they see a young buck and his frond
they observe but they must look beyond
to learn if it extends
or just hangs and suspends
all the interest in that broken wand

[JustDaniel]

Does your interest grow in your bonds?
Does your stock growth as well correspond?
Has your rep become broker?
Is he bad at poker?
You've discovered that you have been conned?

[Merlin]

A con once discovered a broker –
a lady, and she was no joker.
She invested in schemes
well beyond the con’s dreams;
he’s in jail now and wished he could choker.

[JustDaniel]

His goal was to whisk 'er an' choke 'er
while watching her moves at a smoker;
she grabbed at his wand
between the green fronds...
and suddenly he was a croaker!

[Larry]

… and a croaker he was suddenly
when his kiss broke the spell and then he
turned bright green and grew warts
on some principal parts.
The princess had thoughts culinary.

[JustDaniel]

La princesse tried calling le roi
for she found she had kissed le bourgeois
and he turned to a frog;
now her mind's in a bog.
Would she now have to marry François?

[Merlin]

François who comes from Artois?
I think I might know his pois.
François will not marry
because he’s a poof
and the bride is in tears – ois-ois-ois!


François who comes from Artois?
I think I might know his pa.
François will not marry
because he’s a poof
and the bride is in tears – wa-wa-wa!

[Larry]

The bride tears her wa-wa-wedding dress
when her father was sent to assess
the grooms sexual bent;
proof of poof or extent,
the groom winked and said, yes, I confess.

[JustDaniel]

[Does Eric think 'poof' rhymes with 'marry'?
or 's he sayin' that he's free ta vary
this Limerick form
any stinkin' way he's a hankerin' to
'cause he has a bent that's contrary.]



The groom with a broom in the closet
was making a secret deposit
before he came out
and left us no doubt
that he was a poofy composite.

[Merlin]

Slant rhyme was the tool I was using.
I take it you found it amusing?
If a poof was to marry,
it could likely be “Harry”
and then things get fairly confusing.




One composite mentions a “poof”.
That writer – a bit of a goof!
Use image in nation,
you’ll find information
that brings on a howl or woof-woof!

[Larry]

How'll wolfs woof the howls that bring
all their packs that appallingly sing
lonesome songs to the moon?
They can't carry a tune
but they leave your heart-strings quivering.

[Thoth]

to Merlin


A pissole's an obvious sign
and so is the hue of urine
so not eating snow with a tint of yellow
is advice from a taster of brine.

[JustDaniel]

If you're joining a wee urine nation
it could give you a strange obligation:
put the seat down each time
you leak or you slime,
and you'll avoid annihilation.

[Thoth]

On a throne where you don't where a crown
flush away your deposit of brown;
be very discrete never leak on the seat
and please leave the cover placed down.

[JustDaniel]

When the cover leaf's down on the book
with its advert, it's tempting to look
inside of the tome...
and then the dark gnome
will finish what he undertook.

[Larry]

He will undertake Finnish? For what?
Learning Welsh, Mandarin... but he's not
going to visit those lands
for his hermitage spans
a small cave endowed by Polly Glot.

[Merlin]

Polly Glot wasn’t finish, not yet,
and that is a bankable bet!
She was rushin’ around
and ‘e gypt ‘er, she found,
so she’s paying a colossal debt.

[JustDaniel]

She was spayed in one collosal bout
with her owner; but it was found out
she was messing around;
the pet's owner had grounds
for her action; now Polly just pouts.

[Larry]

Polly pouts, for her actions were just;
she was spayed by someone she did trust.
She nipped off a thumb joint
emphasizing her point
that a sex change had not been discussed.

[JustDaniel]

Someone's sex change produces disgust
in some circles, for often it's thrust
in their faces so hard
it catches off-guard,
and it's tough for most folks to adjust.
