Limericks

[Catalyst]

Okay, I'll take a stab at it! If it's not right,

I was once out in the world

And thought I was being hurled

A pioneer she was

The Truth like fuzz

But now I have made it my own!

Good try!

To make a limerick seems really tough

but don't give up even if I'm tough

just remember the rhyme

and keep to the time

and then you'll find it will be good enough.... +

There was an old woman named me

Who certainly liked her hot tea

She brewed her a cup

and drank it all up

and now she's as warm as can be

[normadenardo]

there was an old woman named Norm

her hair would not keep shape or form

tried as she may

and whatever the spray

it looked like she came in from a storm.

A good try.

To get the correct rhythm I would change it like this:

There was an old woman named Norm

whose hair shape would not keep it's form

try as she may

whatever the spray

she looked like she came in from a storm.

Maybe short hair is the answer

There was a young Elder called Ron

who liked to joke off and on

some were upset

he had no etiquette

and now Ron the young Elder is gone.

ahhhhh.... such a fine line between funny and perfect

[Catalyst]

ahhhhh.... such a fine line between funny and perfect

better, maybe, but not perfect ...

The young brothers they went out to play

"great football today" they did say

but to their regret

they all overslept

and missed the field service next day.

[Ms. Piffle]

Many thanks to all of you from Little Fly

For your artful limericks, and here's why

They grew on me a smile

big as a geographical mile

Giving melancholy no place to reside.

[Catalyst]

The limericks here they started to stop

They were no longer top of the pops

then along came little fly

whose limerick caught my eye

So now it's time for this thread to rock

[Catalyst]

There was a young Brother called Bill

who could never ever sit still

When the meeting was on

he couldn't wait for the song

so he could get up and run up the hill

[Catalyst]

There was a young Sister called Kate

whose driving most others did hate

she drove her car fast

from the first to the last

so she left everyone in a state

[clez]

There was a young brother who was bad

He was always angry and sad

Then he got help from above

And brotherhood love

Now he is always happy and glad

My laptop’s succumbed to a virus;

They send them to vex and to tire us;

They don't go to jail

and I can't send email;

It’s time to go back to papyrus!

[retroHelen]

In my garden there is a fat pigeon

Who seems to have lost it a smidgen

It struts up and down in mitre and gown

So maybe it's got wrong religion

[surfergirl]

Gab. Gab everyone calls me Gab

it sounds like I've been. Stab with

Some slab & a Dab of a cabsav

I love to be called Gabe it makes

me behave

[retroHelen]

Elder and brother in deadlock,

To the point where it threatens the flock.

His stern ultimatum,

To quote him verbatim,

“You’ll go if you don’t lose that dreadlock!”

[Holly]

Our spiritual family's a hoot

their rhythm and rhyme make no loot

I don't understand

why they don't get banned

instead all our minds they pollute!

[Catalyst]

There was a young Brother called Dirk

Who was a bit of a flirt

To young sisters he'd talk

But Brothers he'd balk

so many just called him a ______ ( you can use your imagination to fill in the last word!)

[Joey]

My householder yesterday was frightening

So I did my presentation like lightening

He gave me a grin

Took my magazines and then

My mood definately began brightening.

[normadenardo]

there was an old woman in bed

a limerick she had in her head

she awoke at dawn

to her dismay it was gone

never by anyone was said

[Catalyst]

Ahhhh.. that happens to me a lot

I get a great limerick in my head during the night then it's gone in the mornring: depressed

but let's keep them coming..

[clez]

A limerick was made in my dream

So perfect it made me beam

Dawn came and all was gone

Leaving me sad and forlorn

In wakeful hours I'll try to redeem

[Catalyst]

There was a Brother called Fred

Who always had to be led

They Elders they tried

himself to decide

but he followed them all instead

[clez]

Sister Ditzty

not at all Ritzy

made you see Red

talked off the top of her Head

'cause all she ate was Fritzy

Oh Helen, this rocks!
