The Obligatory Limericks Game Reincarnated
help
And so it begins....
arrow_circle_up
Software
As I'm driving my old Vauxhall Nova
Rosie
My fingers are numb
Raak
And so is my bum
(oblig.)
KagomeShuko
How long is it 'til I read Dover?
Chalky
It's taken four years to explain
penelope
Where the rain falls in some parts of Spain
Software
Yet the answer was clear
Rosie
It's in Andalucía
Hidden text
Driest part, actually. Too bad.
Giertrud
Where they have located the drain!

Marc
I tried finding words to rhyme clear
irach
Then gave up, and went to buy beer
KagomeShuko
When I entered the store
Giertrud
I found it cost more
Software
So my eye developed a tear
Marc
I cried, and I cried, and I cried,
Raak
For I tried, and I tried, and I tried
Software
But dear oh dear
irach
I do fear, I do fear
Phil
That you lied and you lied and you lied.
penelope
[M, R, S, i, P] That's the most heart-rending limerick I think we've ever had. Well done.
Now let's think of cheerier matters
Software
Like Tommy Cooper and other mad hatters
Pablo
Morecombe and Wise?
Rosie
Making mud pies
Knobbly
With their dressing gowns covered in spatters
Rosie
It's time for my daily banana
Spangle
All smothered with pureed sultana
Raak
A durian milk shake
irach
(Quite a smelly mistake!)
Software
Maybe I'll come back manãna
Pablo
There's a reason I don't like young Dave
Spangle
And I'll share it with you 'cause I'm brave
penelope
Is, he scares me, y'see
Marc
With that noise as he wee
penelope
And the daredevil way that he shave
Marc, is English your native language? Because sometimes I wonder, the way you force rhymes in when the subject and sense just don't fit.
Marc
There once was a man with a beard
Spangle
Which he grew because folks said he
leered
Rosie
But he leered unabated
Softwa
At each lady he dated
Passin' Thru
And that Sir, is how come he got sheared.
Rosie
While trying to play Brubeck's Take Five
Marc
My feet started dancing the jive
Software
Their groovy gyrations
Raak
Made large perturbations
Spangle
- I'm told that her toes won't survive.
Marc
Tonight is a full Lenten Moon
Juxtapose
Which comes not a moment too soon
Rosie
For I have indulged
Raak
And my belly has bulged
Pablo
I admit - I'm a thorough poltroon
Spangle
My favourite Uncle has claimed
penelope
That he was mistakenly blamed
Software
For the financial mess
Marc
And for cheating in chess
Pablo
For which he was named, shamed and maimed.
Spangle
[p,S,M,P] :-)
Marc
"In jail you belong Uncle Andy!"
irach
"Your excesses go beyond randy"
Software
"For your lecherous way"
Rosie
"You now have to pay"
"Juxtapose"
But first, pour me some of that brandy?
Spangle
Please stop this absurd punctuation
Marc
It leads to complete obfuscation
Raak
Say the words as they're spelled
Rosie
Like "yacht", "Keighley", "knelt"
(Raak) I'm
sure
you meant "spelt".
Pablo
or "supertranssubstantiation"
Rosie
All of us use electricity
Raak
Its chiefest appeal is simplicity
Spangle
However, some find
