mc5 - Limerick Showcase

Juxtapose

Inspired from an oldie in MC5's limerick past...

I once met a psychic named Beth
Who told me the date of my death
'Twas two weeks ago
Which just goes to show
Her crystals were probably meth

Giertrud

Can we have a Glow-Worm showcase too?

Simons Mith

[Giertrud] Good idea. In fact, can we re-purpose this game for all sorts of short poetry?

Simons Mith

(I want to put my Hiawatha one in.)

Simons Mith

But while I'm waiting for consensus, this was one was a corker thanks to Bobby Digital's superb ending line:
Projoy: When darkness doth shroud the Black Sea
Fat German: Milosevich nips out for a pee
Norma: When missiles start falling
JLE: While nature is calling
Bobby Digital: Just do up yer zipper, and flee!

Uncle Korky

When the man from Del Monte said "Yes!"
The peasants all made such a mess
With their juices a-flow
At tuppence a go
And a flavour I'm sure you can guess...

Botherer

Professor Brian Cox is so famous
He's even well-known on Uranus
On Pluto, he's sleighted
(Secretly delighted)
Whilst Jupiter screams "ignoramus!"

Botherer

Sorry, just had to rid the world of the politically correct pronunciation of a certain Wonder of the Solar System.

Rosie

(Botherer) I've never pronounced it any other than the "rude" way which suits English speech better and gives us "uranium". Equally, we have "Venusian" when any fule kno it should be "Venereal". Poxy little planet, anyway.
