Title: Lim·er·ick
Post by: Lunchbox on 08 Mar 2008, 03:58
There once was a trend on Gabbly
That decided to move to QC
Bad poems did abound
As the Gabbers had found
That limericks don't come easily
Title: Re: Lim·er·ick
Post by: Sox on 08 Mar 2008, 04:00
There was a thread by Lunchbox.
Followed by a limerick from Sox.
I'm sure if he could,
he'd make one that's good.
Unforunately, he's dumb as rocks.

There once was a forum QC
Which limericked a lot, you see
but some gossiping found,
conspiracy abound,
A place of many lulz it be.

Darryl shaved off all his hair
Both his head and his beard to be fair
He started a race
To grow things on his face
He thought it may give him some flair

Quote from: Darryl
Ally used to be adored
but now she's perpetually bored
When people stopped skyping...
They also stopped typing...
It's a travesty Ally is ignored!


Quote from: Darryl
Lunchy's so pretty it's sick.
But her fans, they are totally thick.
It's all stupid noobs
Who say "LOLBOOBS"
And I've heard smarter comments from bricks.


Quote from: Jodie
Lunchy lives in her kitchen and bakes
The most glorious marvelous cakes
With sprinkles and cream
It's a fat person's dream
She takes photos of all that she makes
Title: Re: Lim·er·ick
Post by: Lunchbox on 08 Mar 2008, 04:31
Our Darryl is from the UK
So lovely he's probably gay
I bet he doesn't smell
And as far as I can tell
He'd be a pretty good lay

Quote from: Darryl
When Jodie arrived, we all raved
She's so nice and well behaved
She has a great smile
and plenty of style
though the sides of her head, they are shaved?

Ali eats tim tams all day
She thinks she eats more than she weighs
On the forums she's Fatty
But she's really quite natty
Metabolism for the hooray!

Post by: Peet on 08 Mar 2008, 07:30
Ms. Lunchbox is clearly deluded
Because the air that Darryl's exuded
Tells me he's rather a dork
There's much I'd prefer to pork
(inanimate objects included)

I once had this bitch Margaret
Who had me sprung when jail I split
But I kicked in her do'
And I looked on the flo'
And discovered that bitches ain't shit

Oh, to the window, to the wall,
To the sweat drop down my balls
Ah, skeet skeet skeet skeet
Ah, skeet skeet skeet skeet
To all of these bitches do crawl

It seemed overly trite
Are you looking for a fight
Do you want to take this outside?

Post by: Sox on 08 Mar 2008, 10:53
A resolution has clearly been missed
I overreacted, I admit, I was pissed
let's try this again
And settle it like men
With words, instead of our fists?

On the other hand, to hell with that, young whelp
Because I just placed a bet on myself
When we get to the ring
It's MY name they'll sing
As I'll have you crying for help.

Now that the riff-raff has gone
The honourable fight can go on.
But before we attack
Let's have a snack
I have made pre-fight Tea and Scones.

But if you drink all that tea

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever read.

With limericks some are quite pretty
But some stupid tits write them shitty

Internet drama is lame
Seriously guys, it is lame
It's stupid as shit
Go back to Mum's tit
And learn to stop being so--- wait wait wait. What the fuck is going on, this over a limerick thread? Man I was stranded for 5 hours today because a mountain collapsed and blocked the road because some idiots didn't engineer their rock blast properly, and even that stupidity is weak compared to this.

I would just like everyone to know that Taylor's limerick is less than stellar for me because when I see "lol" in my head I have always heard it "ell oh ell".
Title: Re: Lim·er·ick
Post by: ampersandwitch on 08 Mar 2008, 12:25
Maybe this one will be more to your liking.

You disdain my use of L O L,
But observe, my dear Southern belle,
A more stellar rhyme
Could be achieved in time,
Its obvious rhyme? "Go to hell."

(I challenge you to a rhyme-off)
Title: Re: Lim·er·ick
Post by: BobJoeJim on 08 Mar 2008, 12:29
Be it poetry, rap, or any battle of rhyme,

For this is the greatest thread of all time.

Title: Re: Lim·er·ick
Post by: BobJoeJim on 08 Mar 2008, 13:12
Astaldo, you think Sox would leave

You were no test,
He knew he was best,
And that, you'd better believe.

While you're tappin' that ass from behind

Title: Re: Lim·er·ick
Post by: Patrick on 08 Mar 2008, 13:16
Heretic posted a rhyme
And it's really about fucking time
That he made a comeback

If he leaves us with just one lame rhyme

Astaldo,

Be cautious about where you stray,
You claim your rhymes carry the day,
But your diction is weak.
This is fiction you speak,
You do not belong in this fray.

Post by: Sox on 08 Mar 2008, 13:22

Gents, gents, we need to fess up-

As just one more assurance,
That I'll win, "hands down, ass up."

Astaldo, it sure would be fun
To give you a beatdown my son

Give this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_(poetry)#Form) a glance
And come back once you've learned how it's done

DEAR ASTALDO

I'm duly impressed by your little stint,
Though, Pete, you'll be wishing you didn't.

I foresee a reprimanding spank -
Bitch, someone call in the reinforcements.

Dear Patrick, I'm posting from work.
These limericks are an excellent perk.
Making otherwise boring
Tasks more worth enjoying
But weak rhymes like yours drive me berserk.

Here there are no shades of grey

The sharpest mind
Is mine, you'll find,

Post by: Peet on 08 Mar 2008, 13:57
Joe's been too long on the net
It is my unending regret
That since Hocking's entered
He's shown he's demented
For "quit" does not rhyme with "met"

The definition of limerick in this thread
Has been oh so mightily twisted
The meter is wretched,
The rhymes are all stretched;
As poets I think we've lost all cred.
Title: Re: Lim·er·ick
Post by: BobJoeJim on 08 Mar 2008, 14:09
You complain about metric deficiency,
But your syllable counts are off by three,
And as for stretched rhymes,
They make wonderful dimes,
As long as you just drop them carefully.

I'm sorry, but our poetry reeks!

Dang you people, now you've got me getting all political .. in limerick form.

Now a housing crisis is looming
Because when the market was booming
To impress their spouses
People bought houses
When really they should have been rooming

Buying on margin: speculating
Why should my tax money pay a thing
To bail you guys out?
No, I don't doubt
Its all 'bout election year bling.

My wife and I thought about buying
But it would have taken some lying
On our mortgage app
(Our credit was crap);
We knew ARM's would lead to some crying.

Economics are simple, you see
Money: it doesn't grow on trees.
Now my wife and I
(Who didn't buy)
Want to purchase a house by the sea.

The only way we can afford it
Is if the prices come down a bit.
That's not gonna happen
If the dominant faction
Gets Congress to take care their shit.

Look, it's called a market correction.
For some, yes its a painful lesson.
For the rest of us
Who weren't idiots
Its a natural change in direction!

Also submitted to limerick db - so if you find it there, don't accuse me of plagiarism.  8-)

The lim'ricks that follow aren't mine
i did write the opening rhyme
to let you all know
as rhyming guys go
at best, I would say I am fine.

There once was a [person] from [place]
Whose [body part] was [special case].
When [event] would occur,
It would cause [him or her]
To violate [law of time/space].

A dying mosquito exclaimed,
"A chemist has poisoned my brain!"
The cause of his sorrow
Was para-dichloro-
Diphenyl-trichloroethane

If you catch a Chinchilla in Chile
And cut off its beard, willy-nilly
You can honestly say
That you have just made
A Chilean Chinchilla's chin chilly

and the mother of all limericks...

A Brief History of Gravity

It filled Gallileo with mirth
To watch his two stones fall to Earth
"Their rates are the same,"
He gladly proclaimed,
"And quite independent of girth!"

Then Newton declared in due course
His own law of Gravity's force,
"It goes, I declare,
As the inverted square
Of the distance from object to source."

Next Einstein revealed his equation
Which succeeds to describe gravitation
As spacetime that's curved
And it's this that will serve
As the planets' unique motivation.

But the end of the story's not written,
By a new way of thinking we're smitten.
We twist and we turn
Attempting to learn
The Superstring Theory of Witten.

These are all from this site (http://limerickdb.com/?top150)
