mc5 - The Obligatory Limericks Game Reincarnated

Who wanted to start her own clan

Both Sisters and Brothers

And uncertain "others"

Said "Dad's a McLeod, and me gran". So the whole thing just went down the pan.

A tenor who sang in Modena

Perhaps should have been a bit leaner

With angels he's singing

Adagio, bringing
[Don't quite see why Marc's perfectly reasonable line should stall things for more than a week. It's not like the word 'singing' lacks rhymes …]

Huge joy in his heav'nly arena
... [SM] quite - I'm assuming lack of lean-ness equates to death-ness [angels]. Moving swifterly on ...

I'm not sure if I'll find the time

Or the inspiration sublime

To take part in this game ;-)

In the hope of great fame

And escape from my life's grit and grime

But fame will not change me a jot

Juxtapose

At least, I assume it will not

But in the limelight

I will get the rhyme right!

And the scansion, and grammar, and plot.

A young lad from Lytham St Annes

Had a penchant for stealing white vans

Which he'd drive at great speed

Darren

While puffing some weed

penelope

And swigging cheap beer from its cans

I've just spent a week on the tube

And all rails I have greased with fresh lube

I've cleaned all the tiles

Overhauled the turnstiles

And swept up all hairs of the pube

While studying the surface of Mars

I observed some deposits of tars

Which made me examine

The dictionary to find another word to rhyme

Uncle Korky

The famine that's caused by catarrhs Tut tut...

I Say, Porter!

Re: Rhymes - I confess that 'famine' was the only word I could come up with. How to keep that in the context of Mars had me completely foxed, which was why I didn't post. I'm sure Chalky had something in mind...

penelope

Bob Marley was famous for jammin' for example...

Tho' some thought he always was hammin'

A funk rastafarin [IS,P, pen] True, but in context?

Cussin' and swearin' "This pit that I am in" would have been a perfectly acceptable line, I think. IS,P had it right: if you can't think of a rhyme, then let others have a try, at least until a couple of days have gone by.

Darren

He'd go out and sing somethin' damnin'

[Software] Thought I'd wait until the last one was complete before I made a comment ... all I can do is fully concur with IS,P's remark and pennylope/irach/Darren's contributions and, not least, CdM of the Wise Words. Patience, man!

Incredible sights can be seen

From the Moon, if your eyesight is keen

For instance, the earth

Darren

Is certainly worth

One pound 'cause it's made from cheese that is green

Whenever you think you are right

Beware if your wife is in sight

You'll probably find

She's hijacked your mind

And is raring to go for a fight

"I may be some time", quoth Oates

"Since Hall's out sowing wild oats"

"So while you may wait"

"Don't stay up too late"

I Say, Porter!

"'cos at dawn you'll be milking the goats."

The gostak's distimmed all my doshes

I've markled the fanturic roshes

My satchbere has jored

(Conquintly misgoared!)

And I've murgle my clep with gooloshes

An ichthyophagous iguana

Juxtapose

Attained a true state of nirvana

penelope

But the simple brown newt
Is not so astute
And struggles to manage his prana with apologies for hogging

Tuj

The hog is a curious beast
