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!

And causes non-scanning individuals to find themselves in a bit of a sorry plight.
The time of the day when I walk
You’ll find is the time as I talk
to myself - so distracted
[Projoy] I am typing this in the most amiable mood imaginable, not with any malice, although with some alcohol. I seem to be alone in wondering why the Rhyme Police didn't have words with you, regarding "Chartreuse : foes" as a rhyme? However, I can't think of any English word Chartreuse does rhyme with. Americans, apparently would rhyme it with "deuce", but not me.
[Phil] I would think words like "infers" or "concurs" would be acceptable (though not exact) rhymes.
[Phil] Entirely my ignorance. Never having heard it pronounced, I had always assumed it was "shar-trose".
[CdM] Ah yes, thank you.
[Projoy] If you're in on the Ratby(post-Rugby)pilg, I'll crack open a bottle :-)
[Marc] As it seems everybody else are busy talking to themselves why shouldn’t you? Don’t you believe they are advocating about the fine set of words Chart Re-use? In the olden days when we were still writing limerick lines and not just chatting I’m sure someone would have written a bunch of stupid lines like: Whenever I’m getting the Blues, I mix some Juice with some Booze, once I fell and got a Bruise, and as I have a short Fuse, my pink Moose I turned Loose then started to Snooze, but no sane or sober contributor would ever be able to create such bullshit without any traces of wit, scansion and rhyme, don’t you think? And besides, why should anyone want to re-use old charts?
[Projoy] Just ignore these strange voices: they're imaginary really and I'm sure they'll go away eventually. :)
With chaos redacted
All the rhythm is knocked into baulk Assuming the scansion police are too busy dealing with the above riot
Your logic is incomprehensible
Your methods are quite indefensible
Your mission's heretical
Your product non-ethical [SW] well played , sir! That was a tricky :-)
But somehow it's quite indispensible
Uranus was born of his Gaia
Whilst Kronos had him as his sire
This put him at odds
With the rest of the gods
Who all said his dad was a liar
[Software] Ditto what Chalky said.
Appollo was never in need
With his chariot of fiery steed
One lash of his whip
Was destined to clip

A horse of incredible breed

I think I've said it before
You can't beat the power of Thor
On really tough stains
Pure fact still remains
Well beaten the shit is no more
Odin, "The god you can trust"

Whose visit is surely a must

To Freya, the beauty
Who wiggles her booty
And ends up all covered in dust
An arrogant godling called Zeus
Is once again out on the loose
Flaunting grandiose powers,
Giving swans golden showers,
Ruling all from his Mount O-lym-poos
Athena [who sprang from his head]
Is kept chained up in my shed
The reason you see
We do not agree,
Using red or black (or red?) silk-sheets in bed
Odin by far is lewdest of all www.pantheon.org/articles/o/odin.html
Frigg and Jord he gave a great ball
Then he sired a kid
By the Giantess, Grid
By giving her one 'gainst the wall ooh - that was SO rude of me
Our Giantess moaned and then said :
"I think that I’ll bite off your head," [Chalky]We thought Odin was the one and never expected this rudeness from you...
"But before that wee bite
I think that I might
