The Obligatory Limericks Game Reincarnated
help
And so it begins....
arrow_circle_up
Chalky
Enlightenment can now begin / And my carpets could do with a vax
Raak
O-ò-o-o-òmmm / There's nowt I like more
penelope
*deeper voice*
O-ò-o-o-òmmm / Than a squeaky clean floor
Software
Now the nights begin drawing in / And my rubbish neatly in sacks
CdM
[Software] Did you just
restore
the hemisphericentrism that (see my hidden comment) I worked so hard to eliminate??
Radox The Green
The world seems to be upside-down
Raak
Kings are scorned, and their Fools wear the crown
CdM
So the knights, they draw in
Chalky
Losing their will to win
[Have to agree with CdM, Softers - not your best work]
Pablo
No wonder - we're lead by a clown
Juxtapose
I've had the most brilliant idea
Simons Mith
Will somebody please hold my beer?
Oh, one of
those
brilliant ideas…
Rosie
'Cos I need both hands
penelope
To stem time's running sands
Say it fast
Software
Oh, hang on, now it's not very clear
Chalky
It's about time we all upped our game
CdM
'Cause right now it's all so same-same
Rosie
Has no-one the wit
Tuj
To mix things up a bit
...choice of sentence finished or not alert...
penelope
We don't show our wit - that's a shame.
Tuj
Please visit my new exhibition!
Stevie
Of strange megafauna dentition!
Rosie
We have here a cheetah
CdM
Who's quite an odd eater
KagomeShuko
And uses plants for ignition
Kim
I return to find nothing has changed
Stevie
Even though I had plumbing arranged
Chalky
One can't find the staff
KagomeShuko
After an hour and a half
Pablo
No wonder I'm getting deranged
Raak
A diplodocus trampled my lawn
Stevie
One Tuesday, just before dawn
Rosie
It won't need a trim
KagomeShuko
So I'm keeping him
Chalky
In the shed with my pet unicorn
Rosie
The good folk of Newton-le-Willows
Raak
Have an annual fight with soft pillows
Software
They stand on the hill
penelope
And
en
joy the thrill
muttleee
(It's one of their few peccadilloes)
Stevie
While singing a lewd roundelay
muttleee
I felt all my cares drift away
Radox The Green
I stripped off my hose
Rosie
Which assaulted my nose
Software
Well that's enough for today
Pablo
There's nothing as bad as a cold
Raak
Except leprosy, grot, and brain mould
Rosie
And don't forget mumps
Software
Or down in the dumps
Simons Mith
Or let's be frank just getting old
KagomeShuko
We haven't the time for my party?
penelope
We're busy being arty and farty
Rosie
Well, the latter, at least
Simons Mith
And our output's increased
Stevie
As we read aloud from Jean-Paul Sarty
Stevie
Mercy Killing
Stevie
I went down to Tesco's today
Rosie
For reasons I'd better not say
Tuj
Suffice it to tell
Raak
There was quite a pell-mell
Hidden text
All bucks passed to the final line
Radox The Green
As Security took me away.
Hidden text
Can't be told, can be dodged.
Simons Mith
[RtG] I like how you retained the shroud of mystery
And now I must pay for my crimes!
Raak
Viewed so heinously in these changed times!
Rosie
But when ah were a lad
CdM
No one thought it bad
Stevie
Now they do (at least in these climes).
Stevie
But I ask: "Is it really so bad
Software
To be, like me, such a cad?"
Bismarck
Self-improvement's my creed
Rosie
I don't spill my seed
Chalky
Or blame all this nonsense on Dad
Juxtapose
I once shared a cell with a felon
Rosie
Who had tried to violate a melon
KagomeShuko
He wasn't right in the head
Mat
At least that's what they said
Superman
I tore him limb from limb, like Gan
el
on.
Software
There was a young lady from Cheam
muttleee
Who'd always take one for the team
Simons Mith
If carefully sliced
Only one? For a whole team? Seems a bit stingy to me. But OFC it depends how big it is.
Mat
It became at least twiced
Chalky
Sextupled if smothered in cream
Pablo
It's time I went out for a drink
Rosie
So I can act daft, and not think
CdM
About life's lack of meaning
muttleee
And the cost of dry cleaning
Stevie
The thing that I found in my sink
Raak
The end times are on us, I fear
Chalky
Beginnings are no longer near
Stevie
The locusts, the plague
Rosie
The busts of Earl Haig
Software
And Brexit is costing us dear
muttleee
I'm thinking of taking a stand
Raak
Canute-like, upon the sea strand
Stevie
On account of a bet
Pablo
(The debt must be met)
Superman
Accompanied by a brass band.
Stevie
I'm now hooked on this new TV show
Chalky
It has arrows and flights - and a bow
Software
It's not 'Golden Shot'
Raak
Or 'Black Which You Pot'
Bismarck
It's "Up To The Oche You Go"!
Hidden text
I I didn't think of "Bullseye" or Jim Bowen during writing this line. No, not once.
penelope
[S, C, S, R, B] Perfection.
Why don't we all head for the beach
CdM
Where the mermaids they sing, each to each
Simons Mith
Their sweet harm-o-nee
Chalky
Tempting men of the sea
Raak
But beware! Stay out of their reach!
Chalky
I think you all know what I meant
Rosie
Concerning a recent event
Stevie
My con
text
was implicit
Juxtapose
So next time I visit
Bismarck
I’ll come, and I’ll see, and I’ll went.
CdM
So here is the source of the tension:
Raak
No-one wants my robotic invention
penelope
For knitting a widget
Rosie
With which I can fidget
muttleee
So much for it boosting my pension
:-(
blamelewis
I've repurposed my robotic knitter
Simons Mith
And now it posts daily on Twitter
[muttleee] That's pretty much the ending I'd been trying to come up with, but you did it better
Raak
It's so much like me
Stevie
With a yen for the twee
Chalky
Hashtag #bolderandleanerandfitter
penelope
Is anyone checking my Tweets?
Simons Mith
On seductive radish and beets
[This really is a thing]
Rosie
They
are
so provocative
Chalky
And strangely evocative
Stevie
Of that which is wooly and bleats
Stevie
I'm a farmer, and farmers must farm
CdM
So all of you, please just stay calm
Superman
And I say to you lot
KagomeShuko
Please, don't plant pot
Pablo
It might set off the fire alarm
