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!

(assuming a stress on "down" there, btw)
I just looked at my last post... "Was rotten was fruit"?? Oi, somehow I read it as "Was rotten WITH fruit", which you must admit makes a lot more sense... now back to your regularly scheduled players with talent.
My first attempt at this manner of Limerick writing. Here goes.
Speeding down country lanes in my lorry
While the rain spatters o'er Tobermory
In the dark I'm gung ho -
Forever aglow -
Tachometers telling their story
[Phil] A splendid effort - first or not.
What's next?
Well done Phil! (but as always winner must start the next, mustn't they... ;-)
Ok then, here goes for another acrostic:
My
Or
Neither
Even
Yet
My fortune
Or else
Neither rust
Even taxes
Yet I
My fortune is yet to be made
Or else
Neither rust
Even taxes
Yet I
My fortune is yet to be made
Or else all my hopes are to fade
Neither rust nor
Even taxes must
Yet I still
My fortune is yet to be made
Or else all my hopes are to fade
Neither rust nor moth doth corrupt
Even taxes must...
Yet I still....
sorry Marc- your stray 'moth' is making life awful difficult for us feeble souls that would wish to complete - any chance of revising?
Please Chalky, feel free to ignore my awfully difficult line. I thought you needed a few xtra syllables to be able to finish line 4? Good luck!
My fortune is yet to be made
Or else all my hopes are to fade
Neither rust nor revising
Even taxes must...
Yet I still...
My fortune is yet to be made
Or else all my hopes are to fade
Neither rust nor to get laid
Even taxes must be paid
Yet I still...
interesting concept with 5 rhyming lines....
My fortune is yet to be made
Or else all my hopes are to fade
Neither rust nor to get laid
(Even taxes must be paid)
Yet I still live my life as a maid
5 rhyming lines is acceptable - however, lines 3 & 4 with 3 beats each is not.
Another acrostic,shall we?
