Re: Limerick Challenge 2008

There once was a kitten named Sprocket Her speed was just like a rocket She'd aim high and jump While our world went a-thump So now she stays in my pocket

Limerick Challenge 2008

St. Patrick's Day is March 17, me friends. My brain is empty, but I want to place the challenge! Remember, the limerick, associated with Ireland (County Limerick, I think) has five lines. The 1st, 2nd, and 5th lines rhyme. The 3rd and 4th lines rhyme. I can't wait!

I really must go read my news -- It's the last thing at night I peruse: Though the world sometimes falters, Good news never alters At Artella's great Daily Muse!

I can't write a rhyme using DRESSED! (The Limerick Princess confessed) Now I've thought and I've thought, And I'm so overwrought I confess: I'm no longer the best!!

"Dressed", hmmmmmm. Let's give it a try. There once was a young man from Leeds Whose blue jeans were covered with seeds. When the town's food was dear, He just watered his rear, And his pants met the townspeople's needs. (I can't remember if I wrote this or not...) Oops. Missed...

Ohhhhhh, noooooooooo -- No quitting when you use 'HEAD(DY)" !! There once was a gal at Artella Whose problem was simply her smellah See, her nose sniffed her lips Which were glossed with rosehips, So her mouth was her own odoh quellah.

I thank you for hours of fun, But honest, I really must run: I have had a great time With your quaint little rhyme, And I promise, this is the last one.

I'm ashamed that I'm still writing these, Though my eyelids are low as my knees, And I've tried to discern, Am I nuts? Can't I learn? No: You've given me Limerick disease.

So, Barbara, what do you think? Am I wasting your time and my ink? Shall I make a career Writing limericks here, Or should I go visit my shrink?

"I'm done here," I said with a yawn. "These lim'ricks could go on and on. So I'll just type this one 'Cause I'm having such fun, And I'll try to retire by dawn."
