Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[Thoth]

The draft felled all of those to the rear
while the caber fell on those too near
to the line of his toss
but no casualty loss
just some limps and bad gas from the beer

Loved that !

[Thoth]

A plunge fa young Jimmy Mcknight
had da pandas aw ooing tha' night,
atta size o his caber an length o his sabre,
they aw said twas a wondrous sight.

[Larry]

"‘Twas a wondrous sight", pandas said
‘bout a caber of bamboo instead
of young Jim’s heavy oak,
“Herniated the bloke!”
Bamboo’s lighter and keeps them well fed.

[Merlin]

You can keep well fed on bamboo,
it’s really delicious in stew.
Just add Chinese spice
and a few errant lice;
that’s what all the panda bears do!

[JustDaniel]

I don't think we should pander to bares;
let them play with themselves in their lairs.
If they bring it outside
this would wither their pride:
we should all disappear... never stare!

[Thoth]

The panda eats, shoots and then leaves,
so rude when she really believes
if they went to Beijing
he'd buy her a ring
now she's left up the chute in the eaves.

[JustDaniel]

Every evening she lets out her chute;
it's the way that she'll always commute
from her cliff to the beach;
it's so easy to reach
the ground, and she thinks it's a hoot.

[Merlin]

She thinks it's a hoot on the beach
wearing only a small, skimpy peach
colored swimsuit-bikini
to make boys get a weeny
and eyeballs compared to a leech.

[alternate last line >>>
that looks like a caber zucchini!]

[JustDaniel]

Eric's eyeballs give rise to his letch
so I don't think that I am a kvetch:
his icon seems real;
he doesn't conceal
the things that he wants to outstretch!

[Larry]

If the thing Eric wants to outstretch
is so long that a dog couldn’t fetch
he may have an excuse
when he puts it to use
as a rudder for steering his ketch.

[Merlin]

I was out ketching fish wit my brudder
to take em back home to our mudder,
when dis pelican bird
dropped a mean green bean curd
an de fish all swam off wit a shudder!

[JustDaniel]

I was fitting a shim on my shutter
and slipped, grabbing on to the gutter,
but it didn't hold,
so I dropped and rolled
to my wife, who became quite aflutter.

[Merlin]

A wife grows aflutter with reason –
most often when fishing’s in season.
Get up before four
and sneak out the door,
assuming she’s snorin’ or wheezin’!

[JustDaniel]

Assumin' she's wheezin' 'n' snorin'?
It sounds like yer home-life is borin'!
If she sees the doc
ya could interlock
engagin' in new-found explorin'.

[Thoth]

Wheezin an sneezin an snorin
don’t sound fer me like exploring.
if ya cant interlock afore yer wedlock
well‘n life’l fer him shure end boring.

[JustDaniel]

If Boring is where you reside
you're there as a matter of pride;
you partner with Dull,
and Columbia's gulls
become your location's upside.

[Merlin]

My upside’s opposed to the down
and a verb will tag after a noun.
Neither boring or dull,
it’s like Jonathan Gull
who soars in the air like a clown!

[Larry]

In the air is a clown who is sore
from an act which had made the crowd roar;
he was shot through the tent
due to excess extent
of the cannon's gun powder he'd pour.

[Merlin]

See the air, see the smoke of gunpowder
from balls flying faster and louder?
No wonder that clown
got sorely shot down –
he put cannonize in the clam chowder!

[Thoth]

If he can ionize the clam chowder
with a plurge of plutonium powder,
we'd all glow in the dark, emitting a quark
and the bang would be bigger and louder.
