The Obligatory Limericks Game Reincarnated

help

And so it begins....

arrow_circle_up

When brandishing dibber and hoe

I've got an idea for a shoe

That involves pink feathers and glue

It's most orthopaedic

If somewhat comedic

'cause the size that I need is 'canoe'...

Now that was really nice. Shall I start another?

I've got an idea for a jacket Allow me, m'dear.

It's got bling and will cost me a packet

Its ermine-trimmed ruff

Doubles up as a muff

So I'll call it my < Cockney Rhyming Slang > Desmond Hackett </Cockney Rhyming Slang >

[Softers] I think your Desmond Hackett also needs to be old.

My trousers are have broken the mould

They're pink satin and sequined in gold

Though tight in the seat

They make it look neat [pen] yes, I meant to but forgot :o(

When they splat and my bare butt got cold.

Oh Dear, won't you please come inside,

At least 'til the bloodstains have dried

This axe in my head

Is no cause for dread

I'm an extra in 'Frankenstein's Bride'

Excellent!

I once found an eye in my soup

It stared at me through beefy goop

My mom said, "It's a pea,"

But I knew it could see

‘cause it blinked – it was Billy the Snoop! (Why me?)

"My dear Watson, I think it was you,"

"Who has spent the weekend sniffing glue"

"What I smoke in my pipe"

"Is something more ripe"

"(It's a horse of a different hue)"

"It's a 'baccy from old Araby"

"Yon beetle crawlin' in it? It's scaraby"

Ow!

[SM & irach] I got hit twice with that one!Ouch!!

"Belonged to Imhotep"

[penelope] Okay, I'll bite: What is wrong with my first line?

Who had lots of pep Sierra Mike - just difficult to rhyme, I think.

Also, what's a "'baccy?"

Oh dear O dear O dear - and we were doing SO well back up there ^^^ :^(

Growing smokeless tobacco at Niles Abbey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabennae

At submission make sure brain is ON, (Sometimes rhyme and scansion must be ignored for educational purposes ;-)

Lest scansion and rhyme isn't done

the failure to check [SM] I'll try and be kind! 'Araby', with its stress on the second syllable is very hard to rhyme and scan. And the fact that you had to tailor the word for tobacco AND the word for Arabia to make a first line makes me think you were trying too hard whilst ignoring the basics. If it doesn't scan, it, er, doesn't scan.

Can make a train wreck

Keep it simple - lest all wit be gone

The writing that's writ on the wall

Is italic, and forty feet tall [penelope] I'll return the kindness. It's a BAC-ee from OLD ara BEE. "Baccy" was common usage when I was a lad; my pipe-smoking father never referred to it by any other name. The Archaic "Araby" seemed to fit perfectly with "old".

It's a baccy from old Araby / Burns smoothly and lights easily / Just one single match / And the dried-up leaves catch / And I suck down the fumes greedily

that's all very well Sierra Mike - but it's a team game and you have to take into account the mind-set of the ... anyway, enough of these convoluted justifications for *bad play* - can we just get on with the game? It was working rather well up there ^^
