Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[JustDaniel]

Peckin' out every grain is the chicken
and soon all of us will be lickin'
our fingers with glee
for she doesn't see
we'll cook 'er when she is done kickin'

[Merlin]

When yer cookin yer rooster or chicken,
add some noodles to make the broth thicken,
then diced carrots and peas
and some Camembert cheese
since this fowl was from France, not African.

[JustDaniel]

a-frickin' seems foul fer ol' Merlin
describin' 'is chicken an' hurlin'
out 'is recipes
with carrots an' peas;
what new dishes 'll 'e be unfurlin'?

[Merlin]

There’s a dish you can make using carrots
which is tempting, especially to parrots.
But the critters start squawking
from the wine and that’s shocking …
Oh, such noise – ya really can’t bear it!

[JustDaniel]

If your nose is so loud you can't handle
the sound of your snoring, no scandal
ensues if your get
a C-PAP to set
things straight, so you don't blow out candles.

[Larry]

So you won’t blow out candles, think straight
when you’re lighting the wicks, hesitate.
On your birthday, breath in,
holding it, then begin.
If you’re old, you’ll pass out in your plate.

[JustDaniel]

You're so old, you pass out in your plate?
When you're eating, you must concentrate
on your breaths between chews.
Take time later to snooze,
and for heaven's sake, don't stay out late!

[Merlin]

Stayed out late with a gal on a date,
made my move and results were just great!
In a field full of clover
it was under and over;
trouble is – now she’s putting on weight!



ps - gone most of the week

[Larry]

Now she’s trouble and putting on weight;
not because monthly visitor’s late.
It’s due to dinner’s table
where she is unable
to push away from a full plate.

[JustDaniel]

In a plush place, don't have a full plate
or your wallet will have much less weight.
When you eat light you'll feel
much better to deal
with that dropsy. Retire around eight.

[Merlin]

Retire around eight, maybe ten
and yahoo! The good times bee-gen!
Some cheese and champagne,
I know Mary Jane
will be thrilled when she seize yer big ben.

[JustDaniel]

If yer Big Ben is ripe ta be seized
y'll see Alice there too; who'll be pleased
when yer MJ shows up
and dunks a lay-up
to your groin? How'll you then be appeased?

[Merlin]

We’re back to appease and a-carrots,
good music to silence duh parrots.
Dear Alice, she squawks
while merry Jane rocks,
Big Ben will soon get what he merits!

[Larry]

Big Ben’s merits are what she will get
if dear Alice stops squawking and sets
both hands to the right time
then a feeling sublime
will infuse her like MJ abets

[JustDaniel]

Don't infuse marijuana; coke gets
the heart racing fast and upsets
the natural beat;
just have some whole wheat
with cheese, and go work out in sweats.

[Merlin]

Yes, cheese and champagne is in order,
but where, oh where is our porter?
The time has arisen,
dear Alice is missin
Big Ben was just heading to warder!

[Larry]

Just to ward off Big Ben on his heading
is quite simple, put him in a wedding
I'm sure it'll be found
that he'll soon come unwound
and the time of day he won't be getting

[JustDaniel]

Give ol' Merlin the time o' the day
an' 'e'll think anything is okay;
'e's been all 'round the block,
so jes give 'im a clock
so 'e'll know when 'e's scheduled ta play.

[Merlin]

My schedule sez I must play
at regular times, come what may!
With Molly or Mary,
with Alice or Sherry,
Big Ben chimes, and then it’s “Ole!”


Ding-dong…

[Larry]

Big Ben chimes when its "Ole's" are said
but I might allude caution instead
for with all the disease
you can't do what you please
if one's thinking is with the wrong head
