| The Cone of Shame |
[Jul. 22nd, 2009|05:29 pm] |
My pup started using her paw
to scratch an itch like a saw!
Now she's got a cone
and she can't reach her bone
but she won't hurt anymore, yah!
(don't hate me for that last line--i'm from MN. Yah sure, you betcha!) |

Welcome to limerick mania
We're just northwest of Transylvania
All of our rhymes
Contain nutritious enzymes
And our elevators play, "Rule, Britannia!" |

I was playing on www.veryvoo.com and came upon a project to write a limerick starting with "There once was a man from Nantucket"--one I'm sure we all know. Here's what I came up with:
There once was a man from Nantucket,
whose head was as big as a bucket.
This genius named Yoda
who spoke like a Coda,
when asked of his smarts, says "is luck, It"
There's a bunch of other responses there too (http://www.veryvoo.com/individual_response_adventure/join/64eeae316ac79dd3n) but since y'all are seasoned limerickers, I wanna hear some of yours!
Sure, its not as easy as just writing your own on whatever topic you like, but it's definitely more fun to do it all together. |

Chocolate coins in golden foil
Double-edged swords had sharp recoil
Taste candy and see
Time to recall the
Ancient miracle of the oil |

Barrack Obama, John McCain
Joseph Biden, Sarah Pala(i)n
What do they offer
The budget coffer?
Don't let this land go down the drain |

Avast ye scurvy sons of Nog
Bandana Boys I'd Like to Snog
Shark bait, booty calls
Crow's nests, fearsome squalls
Let's raise a toast of pirate grog! |

Olympical gymnast Steven
Had scores that were quite uneven
He did iron cross
Watched javelin toss
Spokes-modeled a red bike for Schwinn |

With the price of gas four dollars plus
I'm perplexed by all of this fuss
We all want to be greener
To keep the earth cleaner
So for Christ sake just jump on the bus |

A gladiator I saw on the telly
Ended up in a fierce lion's belly
Though nutritious, I know
From the head to the toe
I'd rather eat PB and jelly |

Every Martian goes to Ricks |
