mc5 - Multiple Lines Per Player: A Limericks Special Edition

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!

Chalky

That might have worked if everyone had stuck to the same syllable count when adding. This is my feeble attempt to pull it together:

A young whippersnapper named Jake
Who was singing off-key at Ted's wake
When all others lamented.
It went "Take your rent, Ted" [the off-key song]
So sad his pathetic mistake.

Kim

[Chalky] Silk purse out of sow's ear, IMO, good stuff. Let's try another. Maybe we'll get better at it if we practice.
There
Who
The
All

Irouléguy

There was
Who threw
The old
All five
And tied
Chalky] Nice finish.

irach

There was a sting-ray
Who threw shrimp
The old octopi
All five chose
And tied that ray

Randy

[irach]hope you were aiming at something better than this?
There was a sting-ray named Irach
Who threw shrimp-pate at his flock
The old octopi (and four mates)
All five chose to die (as shark baits)
And tied that ray-gun to his jock
we may need some more practice?
