Multiple Lines Per Player: A Limericks Special Edition
help
Here's an experiment with the Limerick form. In this game (and this one only) it is permissible for players to contribute more than one line each to each limerick, just to see if we can increase the level of coherence in this much-loved form as practised in the Morniverse. Everything else is the same as normal... Take it away!

- He'd stuck her, not the doll, with a pin.
A bishop, while studying voodoo
Found himself knee-deep in doo-doo
"Exorcise me!" he cried,
"for this demon inside
is nasty and pooey and crude, ooh!"
With just tuppence for paper and strings
You can make up your own pair of wings
So dance on the breeze
Over houses and trees
Then crash in the midst of angels that sings
Marc - Her chastity-belt he had locked, another story begins...
But when he came back he was shocked
To his utter dismay
('twas on Valentine's Day)
He found that the padlock was crocked
sorry Marc, but your last line to me and Projoy's Mary Poppins lim not only didn't scan but was also a bit non-secateury. As the good book says - 'if in doubt, don't post' [which really means - if you can't nail it , butt out ]:-)
sorry Chalky, nevertheless I've posted it in good spirit and for sure it is not better than any of yours or Projoys lines but it is not so bad that anyone should bather commenting it the way you just did ;-)

She went to the locksmiths one day
And said: “Can you please find a way,”
He took out his pick - [Marc] my comment reads a lot sharper than I intended, please forgive. It was the scansion that wasn't up to your usual standards.
[Chalky] Ironically, it almost scans according to the original tune! :)
She fondled his wick
He unlocked and she said “Let us pray!” [Pro/Chalky]It's called pacing...
When praying, it's best, I have found
To lower one's head to the ground
[Marc]
You see in the Limerick Biz.
We contributors get in a tizz -
When the rhythm's the shits
It just gets on our tits,
I'm sorry, but that's how it is.
Oops - sorry, Juxta - I'll repost yours
