limerick

[peapod]

At least I am persistant in coming up with threads! Haggis I think we played something like this a while back, wana give it a try? anybody?

Okay how about starting a limerick? You do one line each untill there are 5 and the person who does the last line starts the next one.

Okay here goes......

We all have something to offer

We all have something to offer
Much wealth from our common coffer
While we sit around eating figs
And smoking those 'funny' cigs

Now, maybe I'm wrong here, but in limerick writing doesn't the last line rhyme with the second?

 

[LadyC]

Not after smoking a "funny cig" it doesn't.

I assumed that was done on purpose...?

 

[Haggis McBagpipe]

Well now, I didn't mean to make a perfectly good thread dry up by pointing out a basic premise of limerick creation (correction: what I think is a basic premise). If it was done on purpose, then it becomes something other than a limerick, which is fine.

 

[LadyC]

You're right, though, Haggis - lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme, wile lines 3 and 4 also rhyme, but they're slightly shorter.

Let's try again...

While walking along eating an orange...

While walking along eating an orange
I noticed a man buying a door hinge

 

[Haggis McBagpipe]

While walking along eating an orange
I noticed a man buying a door hinge
I stopped very quick

 

[LadyC]

While walking along eating an orange
I noticed a man buying a door hinge
I stopped very quick
Got violently sick...



(good rhyme on "orange", by the way. I didn't think it could be done.)

 

[Haggis McBagpipe]

While walking along eating an orange
I noticed a man buying a door hinge
I stopped very quick
Got violently sick
And was saved by the kind-hearted whore Ange.

New one!
