Add a line or two or finish the thing. Just don't start a new one before the old one's done.

Who played on the drums with two spanners,
The band rocked with grace, in their rehearsal space,
But Nat quit without any manners (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1178).

There once once a man from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan
When asked why this was,
he replied, "It's because
I usually endeavour to fit an many unnecessary syllables into the concluding line as I possibly can."

It's a little-known fact about Tai:
She's obsessed and enamored of pie

She dropped LSD
And cried "Look at me!"
But got not a word in reply.

There once was a man from St Bees [a place in England]
Who was stung on the arm by a wasp.
When they asked "does it hurt?"
He replied "no it doesn't,
But I'm so glad it wasn't a hornet!"

That was not very limericky, but thanks - it would probably be the first place where I fit right in, though.

There once was a place where I fit in
- Or that's what they all thought while sittin'
   

Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. OMG WTF!

...@FunkyTuba OMG yet another reply! This thread had been inactive for days, so I didn't expect much action. Anyway, thanks! Now we have two limerick beginnings waiting to be continued, and I can't think of a rhyme for Sara.

Geography's not my strong suit
But Italy looks like a boot
As all observers are pickin'
China looks like a chicken (http://cheezburger.com/1364096768),
The Americas a duck, looked at skewed (http://www.fugly.com/pictures/42586/the_americas_are_a_duck.html).

An Australian girl over thirty,
Said "Limericks ought to be dirty.
I have never seen,
Examples so clean.
If you don't buck up I'll get shirty."

Tai and Dora decided to shack up...

Tai and Dora decided to shack up...
Dora said "Honey don't get your back up,
but this drawer won't suffice
for that kind of 'device'
so we might need to put a big rack up"

There's 10,000 gold coins in there.

Then came Dale, swarthy spectacled charmer,
who said "Claire, that'd buy some fine armor."
On her guard Claire said "Bud,
Don't forget that big WHUD (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2359)
I am friends with that merry gold farmer"

(yeah yeah it doesn't quite work with the characters, I just wanted to do the pun okay?)

There once was a Once-Ler who was
Removed from the forests because
The Lorax had said
In a tone full of dread
"You're taking too much of their fuzz!"

Wut?

Was trying to turn it to QC... I imagined the stairs were in Faye's apartment building and she killed him because he was in her way. It made for a neat internal rhyme but kill->killy as a reverse-transitive verb is probably too much of a stretch.
